Leif Frond And Quickfingers (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I’d been right to be suspicious. Being right is usually pretty satisfying but I just felt sick. I wanted it not to have happened. I wanted the betrayed look on Queue’s face not to be there. “Right,” said my father, putting a hand on Queue’s shoulder. “We’ll go after him. We’ll get it back.” My father can sometimes say just the right thing. Everyone scrambled into their clothes and out of the Hall – and almost immediately, there was good news. Yesterday had been the first snow flurry of the year. And overnight there had been another fall, enough to properly cover the ground. Enough for anyone walking about to leave tracks. My father took charge. “Everybody stay back!” he ordered, since the last thing he wanted was a lot of us thundering about and blotting any trail the thief might have left. He began to scout back and forth, eyes fixed on the ground. Meanwhile, Thorhalla came up to Queue and said to him, “It’s cold. Go and get some warmer clothes on. And your boots.”
