‘Now you’ve got to admit that’s weird,’ Emilia whispered, ‘us landing right outside Ham House.’ Luka pressed his finger against his lips. He jerked his head and quietly they began to move around the perimeter of the forecourt, keeping close to the wall. Zizi was frightened, and clung to Luka’s ear, her tail wrapped tightly round his throat. Luka soothed her with a gentle pat. ‘So we go and find the butterfly charm?’ Emilia pleaded. ‘Since we’re here?’ ‘Sounds like the house is the safest place to be at the moment,’ Luka muttered back. Emilia kept close to her cousin, almost treading on his heels. She was frightened at the strange chance that had brought them here to Ham House. It seemed too uncanny to be mere coincidence. Luka put out one hand and took hers, gripping it comfortingly. Soon they were close enough to the great house to see it clearly. An elegant building, three storeys tall, it was built of mellow red brick edged with stone. Smoke rose from its tall chimneys.
