Chapter 43 Summary

Screaming and crying, Maggie tries to run after the truck that is carrying Rumpus away. Fred gently tries to calm her down, telling her that he is on her side. Back at the cottage, Fred explains that the truck belongs to a farmer called Nigel Williams and that the men have likely locked Rumpus in Nigel’s barn. Maggie and Fred argue about whether to go after Rumpus. Fred thinks that the problem is out of their hands and that the authorities will have to deal with it now, but Maggie demands that they mount a rescue mission. She reminds Fred that he loves animals and points out that deep down, he knows the men will not keep Rumpus safe. Fred finally agrees to help Maggie make a pen to keep Rumpus in and then use the Winged Wonder to carry Rumpus’s crate back to the cottage. They agree that as soon as they complete making the pen they will leave for Nigel’s place; by dawn, the men will all be awake again and it will be impossible to rescue Rumpus.
