Mr Snarling had never thought about lifts
breaking down before. But it made sense.
Park House was very old and so the lifts
might be worn out. Mr Snarling didn’t like
old people. He didn’t like the sound of being
stuck in a lift for hours with an old woman
and her young assistants and their tales of
gloom about Park House. He was
beginning to wonder what else might be
wrong with the building he was planning to
buy. Once they’d puffed their way very
slowly upstairs, Gran led the way to the
rooms that they had all ready for their
visitor. She looked at Tom.
“Perhaps you’d like to take a look on your
own, Mr Snarling?” she said.
