sure of that. I think it's probably a North American she-wolf--
Oh, who cares where it came from! screamed Mavis, as the wolf came a few steps further into the room. Can't you offer it some food, and take it away safely somewhere before it bites somebody?
If this animal is really Mrs.Hampton, said Clovis, she's just had an excellent dinner. She won't be interested in food.
Oh, Leonard, cried his aunt, can't you use your wonderful powers to change this terrible animal into something small and gentle, like a rabbit?
I don't think Mr.Hampton. I forbid it!
All my wolves love sugar, said Lord Pabham. If you like, I'll offer this one a piece. He took a piece of sugar from the table and pushed it along the floor towards Louisa. She ate it quickly and then, clearly hoping for more sugar, she followed Lord Pabham out of the room.
The guests left the table thankfully and hurried into the conservatory. It was empty. Mrs.Hampton had disappeared.
The door to the garden is locked on the inside! said Clovis (He had quickly turned the key while he was pretending to try the lock.)
Everyone turned towards Leonard Bilister.
If you have not changed my wife into a wolf, said Mr.Hampton, will you please explain where she has gone? Clearly she could not go out through a locked door - so where is she ?
