It was in the second week of their visit at Digby Castle, that one morning, as Harry and Lucy were left alone in the workshop, Harry whirring happily at the lathe, he felt Lucy suddenly touch his arm, and saw her looking up in his face, as if eager to say something. Rather reluctantly he slackened the whirring motion, and held back the tool. "Well, what do you want, my dear?" "I want you to come with me, I have made a discovery! Follow me, Harry." Harry laid down his tool and followed.
