And don’t come back to Grimble until I have sent word that it is safe to do so.” “But when will that be?” protested the twins. “Not until I figure out why Duppy is spying on you and why he wants that book! Now go, quickly. And thank you for your help today, Timothy,” added Eddy. Timothy floated alongside the twins, leaving them at the wagon’s entrance.

The only time they saw Jae was in school; otherwise he was with his father, or on occasion, Ivan.
