Astra tried to convince Fred that they should move on. "We've searched
this market for hours." (She was exaggerating, but she did not have any
way of keeping track of time.) "There can't be anything more to find."
"I just have this feeling that there's something more here waiting to be discovered," Fred replied. Just then Velus barked to get their attention. He sat on his hindquarters and did his best to point with a foreleg at what he had noticed. "A hole in the roof!" Fred said. "Well spotted, Velus." "We could use that length of levitating rope that you found in order to get up there," Astra pointed out. So Fred tied the rope round his waist and stood directly underneath the hole. Then Velus began barking and the rope - and perforce Fred - begain to rise into the air. Velus did not stop until Fred had gone safely through the hole and managed to manoeuvre himself a few feet sideways. Then Fred dropped the rope down to Velus and Astra, and she tied the rope round the dog. Velue levitated the rope and himself until Fred could grab him and untie the rope. Finally the procedure was repeated a final time to bring up Astra.
