Return Of The Emerald Skull (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Turning out the contents of my bureau, I went to work in a fresh shirt and waistcoat each day. As I highstacked all over town, delivering parcels and documents, I brushed past sooty chimneys at every opportunity, rolled across countless dusty rooftops and dined carelessly on wharfman's stew. Soon I had a suitably impressive bundle of laundry – and I knew just where to deliver it. Rising early three days later, I climbed out of my attic window and shinned up onto the roof, eager to renew my acquaintance with the beautiful young laundress. A watery, pale sun shone down through an early morning haze, and as I glanced up, I suddenly remembered the remarkable occurrence PB had been talking about excitedly all year. At the end of the summer there was to be an eclipse of the sun. ‘A full eclipse, Barnaby,’ he'd informed me, his eyes twinkling. ‘The first for ninety-eight years! Think about it, my boy. The sun completely extinguished. Day turned to night!’ Gazing up at the sun that morning, I realized that Mei Ling had banished any thought of the eclipse from my head.
