09 | May | 2012 | TALES FROM THE TRIFLORA

Young Mitchell carries a large sea shell with him. While we were standing there talking about the Girls, he put the shell to his mouth and blew a strange sound with it. It went like this:

It seems that the Call of the Conch Shell tells all the Water Beings that something important is happening. Very soon, Boats and People started to arrive at the Ferry Jetty.

Mad O’Brian says that Saffron and Ferry Rose are NOT on Mad Island and I am beginning to get rather worried.

Signed, Poppy.

Poppa Mitchell came sailing in with Millicent Mitchell.

“Don’t you worry! Our sails are Radar Sails! They will take us straight to Ferry Rose and her boat. We keep a close sail on our Ferry Children.”

Dadda Mitchell is out in his rowing boat with Middle Mitchell. Middle Mitchell is Ferry Rose’s twin brother and if anyone can find her, Ferry Middle Mitchell is the one. He does not even need a Radar Sail to tell him which way to go.

Signed, Poppy.

Every boat of the Ferry People is out on the water and Messages have been sent to the Seashellians and the Mer People and all the Beings of the Creek and River and Ocean.

Nobody seemed to worry very much until I told them that Saffron had had an Idea. Now they are ALL acting pretty crazy and rather desperate.

Perhaps the Ferry People understand just how powerful an Idea can be – especially when Saffron has it.
Signed, Poppy.

Well! Look at this ! Four children in one rowing boat and all dressed up in their very best clothes and one of them looks just like Ferry Rose !

It IS Ferry Rose! Let’s see what she has to say !

“ Hello! Are you looking for Saffron? She has gone to visit the 3 Girls at the Unkya Doorway. I rowed her up the Creek and she was looking for someone to show her the way to Unkya. “

REPORT FROM POPPY.

Well, the conch shell has been sounded and the whole of Triflora knows there is an emergency. Young Mitchell can send out a new message while I get some rest. Then I will be following that Saffron once again.

Signed, Poppy.
