The whispers stopped with a mysterious silence until finally Mr. Steve spoke
" zogger-bite "
His voice sounded like he was stupefied. No more words came out from either of the two while something ate out all curiosity from David's heart and he left the place.
He regretted doing this later though as his curiosity took it's revenge by makong sure he kept thinking about the quite peculiar word ' zogger-bite'. His lost behavior for the rest of the day didn't go unnoticed by the people of the old-house but none thought about it with corncern. As for Peter Huston he vanished just like he had appeared; in a flash in the pan. A relief for Mr. Christain wood was that steve wasnt much interested in food that day and had maintained silence but not a regular silence- it was a silence of thought which had sorrounded him from all 4 corners.
                                                   
Many days passed and soon David alongwith Mr. Steve were able to get a hold of their respective emotions regarding the zogger-bite. Though for David the ability to control these emotions came with a distraction in his every day life due to Peter. Time is the greatest healer and it certainly did it's job well as a much better understanding evolved between Peter and David. Upon judging the unexpected circumstances after which David had become friends with Peter he came to know that everyone is having imperfections what really matters is how you deal with it. Peter was not exactly spoiled nor was he proud or selfish he just didn't left a good first impression he was just impatient at times. However just like David he had no friends and so was particularly close to his beloved grandfather and soon enough became aregular visitor. The only difference was that now his parents used to leave him to old house so he no longer had to act like a spy agent. The people in the old house also got used to of him with time despite their ,sometimes, bawling tones. Peter got along especially well with Mr. William Radcliffe whose voice , soon, brought goosebumps to the old house inhabitants as he was generally a queit , bashfull yet composed person who preferred to stay queit than talk. In these happy and gradual changes in life at the old house the time passed well and good and to the surprise of the old people it went much quicker then ever before in ages as for David he finally felt what he had never felt before ... some-one had his back.
                                                   
But time twisted yet again and the whole house woke-up to find half eaten provisions. Mr. Peter Richard was still yawning while Mrs. Kate Lawrence saw the whole affair with pitiful eyes and started praying during which Mr. William Radcliffe started to write feverishly in his fiary ( his diary) and tried to analyse the possible positions where the thief might be hiding. Mr. Christain wood was on the verge of crying as Mrs. Georgia White went to console him with the words
" oh come-on dear we still have more than half of the provisions left surely it would last us more than a month. Now now put away that pout"
" oh well thanks for the words good lady but it isn't a pout my lips are like that." Said Mr. Christain in a moaning voice
" O really since when did your lips adapted that shape" said Mrs. Georgia White in an as much serious tone as much sarcastic that line was
" Well what do you mean my lips have been like that all throughout my life and they are permanently gonna be that way from now on until or unles i punish that darn thief with my own hands!" Mr. Christain turned his voice to a fierce mood during halfway his sentence.
" your jaw is gonna break if you be too harsh to that thief-" came Mrs. Venus Hathaway who said it a rough voice and giggled her heart out both before and after her sentence. Mr . Christain seemed as if he was about to explode and he would have surely if a word would have pooped out of his mouth though Mrs. Linda Good came to the rescue and stated
" alright we would see about that after we find the thief for now i would request you all to please start finding the thief as according to the directions provided by Mr. William Radcliffe." Then she turned to Mr. William and said" i hope you would have analysed the situation by now."
"Oh yes come-on every -one gather around i'll tell you where to find that thief" Mr. William said in a low voice to everyone.
During this disscussion Mr . John Dawson sat rather annoyed since no -one was realising  how beneficial he could be in a such a critical mission(as he thought) when in these thoughts he stood up from the sofa and as he ducked in the mouth of the chimney in order to light some wood soot from the walls of the chimney fell on his head and neck. He made a weird face touching the soot and rather gradually looked up---
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" he screamed and came out of the mouth of that chimney rather horrifed with soot on his face as well. He saw 7 faces staring at him in amazement plus 8 extra eyes curtesy to David, Peter & Mr. Steve who had just came running in the lounge due to the commotion . He gulped his saliva and then clearing his though and his miserable expression bowed a little and said
" i have found the thief"
" What!!" Came eager voices
As suddenly a girly voice came echoing from the chimney
" oh ! Hello well quiet a clever person you are!"said the girl coming out of the chimney with a 'thud' sound as fell down and standing up looked at them and suddenly before any -one could say a word she twinkled her big brown eyes and claped her hands with a pinch of dramaticness.
She said" I have come from an evil land ruled by a duchess of villains-"
"What?" Interrupted Peter
She replied with her hands still dramatically opened " i mean my step-mother" she said it quickly and continued with melancholic story
" that duchess threw my life in the darkness of chores where my only light was the hope of education and knowledge. " she paused again as if she was a famous storyteller and continued with the same tone
"But she crossed her limits by making me leave my school and she wanted to kill me so that she could take over my father's house and so to save my life i ran and ran and ran-"
"And reached here to eat half our food "
Peter interrupted . She gave a most disgusting look and said
" what a stone hearted old-grumpy man you are." Astonished Peter said
" I'm a boy"
" then that dosent makes it your food does it. This is an old-house"
"Ah!" But poor Peter didnt had any reply at that point and so he quite down. Finally Mrs. Linda spoke getting some hold of her-self
" you can stay here ... but after completing your penalty."
Upon hearing this Charlotte broke into a poem and said
" cheeky eyes,
amazing tone,
You make me smile
Like i have (smiled) never before-
Oh! Meliflous bird your wish is my command." Astonished Mrs. Linda left with a confused face while Mrs. Laura said
" we'll tell the penalty to you later for now go and take rest. Right Georgia"
" yup" Mrs. Georgia looked at her and sighed.

David took the newcomer to her room but had no conversation as a weird atmosphere formed in David's heart because of walking between a silent Peter and a silent Charlotte, a thing he would surely avoid next time. The rest of the day passed normally and Peter and David hardly spotted Charlotte. With this nightfall sleep drowsed everyone present at the old-house.
