“How
is it that you know so much, Mister Oak?” My wife asked.
“That
urchin, I'll bet,” I said.
“His
name,” Oak declared, “Is Blue Bottle, and yes, he did bring the
information. I believe you have three more stories to tell me.”
“How
did you know that?” I asked, astonished.
“Because
I know that three more rather unique incidents have occurred out
there. So let's hear them then.”
“Right
then,” I replied, tapping the map. “These are Cowley Woods, said
to be the home of Jack o'the Cowl, a giant who wore the heads of his
victims, travellers, waifs and strays that got lost. What's happened
there?”
“The
tallest Hindu man to ever have lived has trapped, skinned, gutted,
cooked and eaten four rabbits, before turning their heads into a
necklace.”
