The Time Hunters And The Box Of Eternity - Plot & Excerpts
Still shaky, she trailed an ashen-faced Joe to the bar where Uncle Percy had pulled Beattie to one side, apologised profusely for the bloody state of the backroom and thrust a bag of gold into her hand for any inconvenience caused. To his surprise, Beattie laughed the whole thing off, saying she’d once found a pair of severed legs in the same room after a particularly grisly bar fight. ‘And the owner never came back ter reclaim ‘em, either!’ she cackled, pointing at the far wall where the legs had been proudly mounted as a trophy. Becky looked over and retched. Looking somewhat peaky himself, Uncle Percy quickly ordered two bottles of rum for Mr Flint and made a bee-line for the door. ‘Tis a shame yer didn’t keep the arm, me dearies,’ Beattie shouted as they walked off. ‘It would’ve looked lovely on me limb wall…’ Outside, Uncle Percy spent the next ten minutes patching up Will’s cheek with various implements from Beryl’s medi-box. Even with his skilled work, Uncle Percy told Will he would probably be scarred for life, which Will immediately dismissed with a shrug of his shoulders and the words, ‘I have more scars upon my person than a tree has leaves.’ Just as they were about to leave for the Black Head, Uncle Percy filled Mr Flint’s water bowl with rum and everyone sat back to watch what happened next.
