'No, no, no!' replied George,'no, no.................no...........maybe? Hang on!'
And so everyone 'hung on' until George had a had a bit more of a think.
'This one's different!' he said at last.
'Really?' asked Captain Bill.
'Yer,' replied George,'this is where I keep the good stuff!'
Captain Bill, Norma, Bertha and the others all had a good look at the large pile of 'stuff' that they were standing on..
'I'm surprised we didn't work it out for ourselves!' said Captain Bill.
'Well that's because you've not been trained!' replied George,'you got to have your wits about you in this game. Now it'll be about 'ere somewhere.'
'Should we help look?' asked Bertha.
'No, no,' replied George,'your not trained for the looking, takes years it does, but it'll be about 'ere somewhere?' and with that he picked up a few bits at random and peered under them.
Captain Bill looked at Norma.
Norma looked ahead.
'AHA!' exclaimed George,'found it! I knew it was about....that's the good thing about things...they always turn up in the end!'
And with that he pulled away a short length of carpet.
