Gother, Tilly and Weaket were on the wall first thing the next morning. Gother had the hardest time trying to keep the two dubbins together. And what was worse for him, he was afraid of heights. He started to take in a greenish colour after a short time.

"Heeheehee, lookit mista Gother he being all greeny"

"Yes, heeheehee, and his tummy makes all silly noises"

Gother started to moan. He held his stomach and sat down.

"Mista Gother? You sick? You see Sista Iris. She make you better"

"Yes, we waits for Inka. You be all green"

Gother was thankful to be off the wall. He had kissed the ground a few times before he made his way to Sister Iris in the Infirmary.

Sister Iris and Sister Neera where having a bit of tea when Gother walked in.

"Gother, aren't you supposed to be on the wall?" asked Iris.

"Yes, I had to get off there. My stomach is killing me" moaned Gother.

Neera helped him over to a bed. "Oh, I see, you're afraid of heights. Iris? Can you mix him something up for him? I better tell mother Abbess what happened"

Neera ran to the kitchens. Once there she found Peasea directing some of the cooks.

"Neera? What brings you here? Lunch is far from ready"

Neera struggled to catch her breath. "Where is. Abbess. Sonsa?"

"At the gatehouse with foremole. A window is coming loose."

Before he could finish Neera was off to the gatehouse. On the lawns she nearly trampled a group of dubbins. At the gatehouse she threw open the door and ran into foremole. They both fell in a heap.

"Oi, bein' all 'urted "

"Sorry Foremole. Do you know where Abbess Sonsa is?"

"Ee bein' wit Skipper. Oi 'ope ee don't 'urt 'er loik oi"

"Do you know where they went?"

"They'm boi ee ponder"

"Thank you foremole" Neera called over her shoulder as she ran to the pond.

"Boi, ee be farst un"

Neera was soon at the pond. The group of dubbins she had almost run over was there with Skipper and Abbess Sonsa.

"Neera, what's the rush?"

"Gother is scared of heights. He came to the Infirmary with a sore stomach"

"Oh dear, I'll go up to the wall with Tilly and Weaket till he is better. Skipper can you take care of this lot and if anyone need me I'll be on the south wall" Abbess Sonsa started for the south wall. She called over her shoulder "And Neera, try to slow down. The last thing I need is flattened dubbins"
