The photograph 9/9

“Very interesting,” said Adam as he read his copy of the local paper. “It looks as if the Bells have won this round, but I’m sure they wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble unless they’re trying to hide something important.

The editor of the Advertiser agreed with me that it probably was their boat, but of course neither of us can prove it. He’ll drop the story now unless we can come up with something more substantial. I still don’t agree with you that it’s all due to magic.

I think that there might be some plant giving off a scent in that area that makes you hallucinate or something, so that you can’t see properly. When I can find the time, I’ll go back to that pond and have another look. Shouldn’t be too difficult now I know where it is!”
