Scenes it is in
Graham reports that the cat he returned to Eggesford Court followed him back, and Bertie, seeing he could betray Aunt Dahlia to Cook, pays him another ten pounds to take it again; then Vanessa Cook walks in. Chapters 14–15, Maiden Eggesford Pop Cook, told by the recovered Major Plank that Bertie is the crook Alpine Joe, finds Vanessa's inscribed book and goes for Bertie with his hunting crop, until he trips over the grandfather clock and Bertie crowns him with a painting and wraps him in the tablecloth before leaving for the Goose and Grasshopper. Chapter 15, the sitting-room, as the slim volume Talked about, but not there
Aunt Dahlia telephones in a panic: having tipped the vicar off about the cat, she has had Jimmy Briscoe threaten to scratch Simla unless it is returned, and Bertie assures her Billy Graham is taking it back. Chapter 16, Wee Nooke, as Daffodil Days
