The Scroll of Alexandria: A Lottie Lipton Adventure
I was just trying to see what rooms in the museum were best for growing fungus Sir Trevelyan looked confused Hmm No I meant that you shouldn’t leave your toys lying about He produced Lottie’s battered old rag doll Cleopatra This thing was found in the arms of one of the mummies in the Egyptian section Lottie grabbed Cleopatra and held her tightly So that’s where I left her she said She placed Cleopatra in her cardigan pocket and patted her gently smiling to herself Sir Trevelyan humphed and moved over to the 6
bookshelves He took a tape measure out of his pocket and proceeded to hold it up against the shelves at various angles What are you doing Ooh are we getting more books inquired Lottie just as Uncle Bert came huffing and puffing around the corner into the library Sorry Lottie He was too fast for me You’d better ooh are we getting more books he said spying the tape measure Sir Trevelyan didn’t even turn around Absolutely not he scoffed We’re getting rid of all these useless ones Lottie and Uncle Bert’s mouths dropped open in shock 7
No You can’t cried Lottie They belong here Sir Trevelyan turned slowly his mouth forming an evil sneer
