We Were Only Strawberry Picking (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
It was Nancy of course, Jasper’s sister, who was wearing her apron as per usual; she was never seen without it. They entered what seemed a much wider tunnel with alcoves leading off from it on either side, like dormitories. There were six in total, three on each side, from what they could make out. Nora led them to the third dormitory on the right. The plaque on the door said “Master Cooper” and as the door swung open, they were greeted by all the other inhabitants they had not seen yet. They noticed a fire place straight ahead at the back of the dormitory that was being stoked by a rather hunched over creature who immediately turned around upon hearing them enter. It was Cooper the rat who said, ‘Ah, Nora! At last … so these are our little bears?’ as the other inhabitants all burst out laughing. ‘Okay, guys, so I made a mistake, bears – meerkats, what’s the difference?’ Enoch cowered. ‘What was that about?’ whispered Oscar. ‘I think they were having a joke at Enoch’s expense as he told them we were bears after Jack growled at him with his foghorn.’ If only that were true, how different the scenario would be right now, thought Henratty.
