Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, chapter 4, Eggesford Court, same morning
Taking the wrong turning, Bertie strays into Eggesford Court, befriends a cat and is accused by its owner Cook of stealing it for Briscoe, until Plank turns up, explains Cook's troubles with Vanessa and advises Bertie to clear out before Cook calls the police.
The text is on its way.

Aside, years before Plank tells of a United Explorers man who changed his name from Buggins to Westmacote-Trevelyan and was promptly torn apart by a lion.
