Eloise's alaRm went off. "Time to rouse myself", she thought. She slipped on her moiré negligée and staggered to the bathroom. When she caught sight of her face in the mirror she froze - she was a mess. Meanwhile Derek awoke from his uncomfortable prone position and started to drone on about getting a new mattress. Once they were ready for the day they drove to the studio to continue writing their prose. They would spend all morning there before heading to the grove to tend to the apple trees. They had a shock when one of the branches just broke off without warning. Fearing that the tree had become diseased they went to check it but the tree was quite healthy. Unbeknown to them, Alfonse's friend and next-door neighbour had been experimenting with his own gamma-ray machine (see 671 - KAYAK), with the apple tree as his target!
