The door opened to reveal a beard. There was some person attached to it as well, but I didn't take very much notice of it. I did notice a certain glint in the eyes that should have been a warning, but... I was just bursting, and that was more important than anything!!

He seemed to have a fixation on birds and lakes, so I explained my immediate need and my feline nature, and rushed inside as he moved to let me past.

"Where are the cloakrooms, pleaaaaase?" I hopped up and down and noticed his eyes following the movement. He was grinning.

"Come right this way."

He started off down a long corridor. Took a turn to the left. Another long corridor. Right. Each corridor seemed longer than the last. Was I going to make it? My bladder was furious with me.

"Is it far Sir?" I iniquired anxiously, scurrying along behind him.

He turned another corner... another endless corridor... oh no!!!
