"Well", thought Mrs Go-4it. "All these notices are all well and good, but it's up to me to keep the show on the road by the look of it." So she picked up her spoon and rapped it down on the counter, as she did every meal time, to get her team's attention...

[greenishfing]

.....She brought her team up to date on their tasks for the day. She was rather hoping that they hadn't heard about Miz Spelling's double yet. Of course they had and were worried.

"Until we can work out which is which, keep the kitchen doors locked, and ignore them both" she said. "Any ideas on working out which is the real one?"

Some bright spark suggested using the old ducking stool by the river, last used by the witchfinder general, but which, if any would survive?

"Maybe they really are twins" said another.

Mrs Go-4it decided to find Snoop and Nicos and see if they had any good ideas........

[Snoop Puss]

Snoop, Flo and Nicos had all separated when they got back to the GR, but Snoop spotted Mrs Go-4it looking round all the doors into the downstairs rooms.

"Any ideas?", Snoop asked Mrs Go-4it.

"Not many", Mrs Go-4it replied. "The kitchen staff think they might be twins. "

"I can't believe Miz Spelling has an evil twin. She's much too nice for that, surely? The only idea I have - but a very far-fetched one, admittedly - is the cats. One of the Miz Spellings shouted CAT HOOPS and we know that witches have cats as familiars. So maybe we could use the cats as a kind of witch detector. It would be too stressful for Hibou to have to go out and find a witch, and I'm not sure it would be fair to Flo to use Lord Ginger, seeing as he's only just come around to her. But I could get Frankie. He is all black and really quite a mean, aggressive cat. The only person he'd be friendly with would be a witch. So we just keep an eye on him and as soon as we see him rubbing round the legs of one of the Miz Spellings, we'll know she's the impostor."

"What a convoluted idea", thought Mrs Go-4it privately. But seeing as she had no better idea, she thought they could give it a go. But they'd need more eyes on Frankie so they'd have to tell others what was going on but make sure nobody told either of the Miz Spellings.

[Nicos]

Frankie sat there…blank faced…slowly blinking as if in deep thought….
Could it be a good plan in the making?
Was he thinking about hunting mice…or worse still Lord Ginger and Hibou?
Was he recalling seeing ‘Twins’ at the GR?
Or was he just falling asleep in an upright position…forever ‘en guarde’ ?

Everyone turned to look at him….

[Snoop Puss]

It was the first time he'd ever seen a Christmas tree. He scanned up it, taking in the baubles and tinsel till he reached the top, where the fairy looked down at him, also blinking.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,thought you could out smart MEeee,with A meeeeeOWwerrrrrrrrrr,hahahahahahha,the rooms shook ,they all stood there, frozen in time,

Miz Spelling (the real one) came in to greet everyone,but was stunned by what she saw,what on earth had happened now,she managed to calm everyone down with a few bottles of whisky,as this was an emergency,but it would come from the new years eve party cabinet,she asked if anyone needed medical attention,but all declined,when they recovered enough she reminded them of the new years party dress sort out With MR&MRS Fashionistas,they shared their thoughts with her,she was by now worried for her own safety,but remembered her mantra,about good over evil,BUT to solve the problem of who,is ,who,she signaled that she herself had a different sort off smile,a much nicer BIG one,so at least one off you,should understand how it works,like sharades,and remember do not even whisper,just use your hands and face muscles.just in case the thing hears you,i have once again,had a seceret meeting with DC S Solveit,he has recommended Ghost busters,so in the mean time,lets just have a good time and enjoy what time we have left,please also note,it is nearly time for our lunch time buffett,she did her smile and when to check on the kitchen,to make sure all was well,and tell them about the smile of recognition,by now here tummy was rumbing,as she took a few sniffs comeing from the kitchen,MMMMMM

[Nicos]

Suddenly there was an almighty crash….Frankie dashed into the kitchen with the fairy firmly held in his mouth….

[lottie dolly]
