with crushed diamonds. Suddenly a bony finger prodded her shoulder. She looked up into a face - Rap's face. With a glad cry she wheeled.
   She stared at a scarlet body set on spidery legs. It was Kon* - yet his face was Rap's!
   There was a scuttling in the petunias. Out of them scrambled a perspiring duplicate of the spider man. Panting up the path raced Rap. Alicia stared, gaping. Where the first man had been stood a woman, huge, with moustaches.
