They had been walking for days. The rain was now falling in an insistent pitter-patter that ran down the backs of the two rats, mingling with their sweaty fur.

"Don't youse fink iffen Damug wuz sendin' trackers after us, we woulda figgured it by about now?" Sneezewort complained bitterly to his companion, who was several paces ahead and blowing hard through his ragged whiskers.

"Aye, mate but there isn't any point in takin' chances wiv our lives is there?" Lousewort called back. "We should keep runnin' to the sea, and then join a searat crew. They allus ready to take on some more honest rats." Sneezewort snorted sceptically. "Ho yes and we just gonna waltz onto a big ship and ask the cap's iffen we can join his crew wouldn't that be la dee daa?" He snorted again. "That's a stupid plan barrebum!" Lousewort stopped suddenly, causing sneezewort to run into the back of him. He turned his head slowly and sunk his claws deep into Sneezewort's nose. "Oh aye lard belly? And yew got a better plan crinkle claws? No didn't fink so!" he removed his claws from his companions nose, wiping them on a tuft of wet grass, then turned south and continued running. Silently Sneezewort rose and followed his companion through the falling rain and gathering dark.
