Miss Hub decided she had wasted enough time and drove away while Peter Fog started his motorcycle again leaving PC Selby and Jess with the road to themselves. Pat was helping Mrs. Goggins sort out the rest of the letters and packages. There were two packages without an address. Mrs. Goggins found a label that had come off. Oh, it's this modern glue, said Mrs. Goggins. They are always falling off now, which one should I put? I think that one is out, said Pat, but that leaves one without an address, said Mrs. Goggins, don't worry, said Pat, as soon as someone says where my package is, I'll know.

It must be their simple oh, I never would have thought of that goodbye Pat, do you care how you go? Bye then Jess, we better take the eldest's package first. Is something special. Toy Soldiers.

I won't forget, goodbye for now, come on Jess, we're not done yet. Pat was on his way again. What happened to Peter? Telephone Hello, Pat is having problems. Sure enough, the brakes on my front wheels have locked up and almost thrown me onto the handlebars.

I'll ask Ted Glen to come with his tool kit. Here's something to read while you wait. Oh well, it's my motorcycle magazine. Great, goodbye and thank you. Pat called it Thompson Ground. Al he was helping Ted load some wood into the truck. Hello, Pat Pat. I had some letters for Al, come ask him for a coer. He said Al Dorothy will surely have the information. He was right. Just the job. Hello Pat. What's all this about a robbery at the O? He said Al Pat had to retell the entire story from the beginning. Oh. Pat said.

I almost forgot with all this talk about the robbery. Peter Fog is trapped with his motorcycle. He broke down about 2 miles ago. Do you think you could give him a hand? Ted, no problem. I'll pick it up when we have this wood. loaded thanks for the tea said Pat bye bye Pat by bye Pat's next stop was at the intake farm he met PC Selby coming out of any news about the robbery he asked Pat good news and bad news he said PC Selby they caught the thieves on the way to pencaster but there is no sign of the toy soldier collection for now Cheerio P there was a newspaper for George Lancaster Pat set out to find it but where had he gone to look for me?

Pat oh you made me jump George I thought the condoms were behind me here's your chicken farmers weekly oh thanks Pat so George told Pat how he dreamed he was being chased by a giant chicken that flew away just before he woke up it's time Pat said, "I'm supposed to pick up young Julian from school now. Where'd that cat go?" He could be after the rabbits in the field, said George, he likes my rabbits, right? Jess, they went looking for Jess Jess Jess Jess, he comes around here sometimes, no sign of him, although Jess Jess Pat found Jess with his butt.

Coming out of a rabbit hole, here's George, I think he's stuck. Pat grabbed the cat from him as gently as possible and something small and heavy rolled across the grass. George picked it up and looked at it. What did Jess find? He said he looks like Pat. one of these old tin soldiers said George I used to have a box full when I was a kid I could use a little cleaning you said a tin soldier said Pat yes why the gummy one you must have heard hanging Pat pushed his arm? He went down the rabbit hole as far as he could and took out a bag from the store.

He looked inside and found it full of toy soldiers. Jess found the loot, Pat said. The thieves must have hidden them on their way to Pencaster. They must have passed by your door. smart cut said George I must give this back to the major said Pat will be happy to keep an eye on these Jess F, it doesn't matter Jess the major will be very glad to have his soldiers back I'm sure he'll give you something Good p.
