Mystery of the Spiteful Letters
“GOON IS PUZZLED Fatty thought he would wear his butcher-boy disguise the next morning, in case he had to go and do a bit more snooping or interviewing. It was a simple disguise, and very effective. He put on his red wig, with no cap. He adjusted the black eyebrows and made his face red. Then, with his striped apron tied round his middle, he set off to Pips.
Mrs. Hilton saw him as he flashed by the window. Ah, the butcher-boy, she thought. Now Mrs. Moon wont have to go and fetch the meat ...again. The others greeted Fatty with delight. They were always thrilled when he disguised himself. He pulled off his wig, eyebrows, and apron when he got up into the playroom in case Mrs. Hilton should come in and see him.
He had no sooner done this than a great commotion began downstairs. The children listened, quite startled. They heard wails and groans, and somebody speaking sharply, then more wails.
They went to the head of the stairs and listened. Its Mrs. Moon - and Mother, said Pip.MoreLess
