Epilogue

EPILOGUE Edinburgh's Waverley Station was abuzz with passengers and luggage as the animals rushed to make the departure of the Caledonian sleeper train that would take them back to London. Catface had insisted that they TRAVEL IN STYLE and had booked two berths for the four to share. Sandy and Sergeant Major Gordon (who had subsequently been promoted on the strict understanding that the camp didn't ONLY serve porridge and that rehabilitation through

爱丁堡的韦弗利车站挤满了乘客和行李，动物们争先恐后地赶着离开加里多尼亚卧铺火车，这列火车将把它们送回伦敦。 猫脸坚持让他们的旅行很时尚，并为四个人订了两个铺位。 桑迪和戈登军士长(他后来得到了晋升，因为他严格理解营地不仅仅提供粥和康复

art, exercise, budgie appreciation and poetry should replace the old-fashioned tasks) had both come to see them off. Sandy gave Toto an enormous hug and promised the ninja a lifetime's supply of smoked salmon: 'JUST, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, OK?' Silver and Catface were desperate to get to the dining car and were dragging Socks along, but Toto couldn't wait to be snuggled up in a real bed and get a good night's sleep. She was making her bed up as the train got ready to depart but something made her whiskers prickle. She looked out of the window at the train opposite. She could only see the blurry shadows of the carriages so she pulled down the window to allow her senses to explore more. WAS SHE IN DANGER? She didn't think so, but there was a smell of something very familiar. The little ninja smiled as she realised who she had recognised.

艺术、运动、赏鹦鹉和诗歌（应该取代老式的任务）都来为他们送行。 桑迪给了托托一个大大的拥抱，并承诺忍者一生都有烟熏鲑鱼供应：“就这样，不问问题，好吗？”西尔弗和猫脸急切地想去餐车，拖着袜子，但是托托却迫不及待地想要依偎在真正的床上，美美地睡上一觉。 火车要开的时候，她正在整理床铺，但有什么东西让她的胡子发痒。 她望着窗外对面的火车。 她只能看到车厢模糊的影子，所以她拉下窗户，让她的感官探索更多。 她有危险吗？她不这么认为，但有一种非常熟悉的味道。 小忍者笑了，因为她意识到她认出了谁。

'It's the aftershave, isn't it? My own fault; vanity getting in the way again. Catnip and sandalwood- I'll never learn, Ferdicat said, smiling, as he hung out of the doorway of the train opposite. Why did you disappear? We owe you a great deal -if you haven't helped us EDINBURGH WOULD BE OVERRUN right now, and Roderick would be in charge. As would you!' 'Urgh, I know, don't remind me,' he said, recoiling. 'Trust me, it's very odd, doing the right thing. I feel a trifle ill! I could have done a great job of running this town. I'd have made sure the trains were running on time for a start. 'So what now?' she asked him. 'I'm sure I can smooth things over with Larry. Come back with us; we need you.' 'My dear girl, you most certainly don't- you're well on the way to being twice the ninja Larry or

“是须后水，对吗？” 我自己的错；虚荣又来了。 猫薄荷和檀香木——我永远也学不会。费迪卡特微笑着说，他从对面的火车门口探出身子。 你为什么消失了？我们欠你很多——如果你不帮助我们，爱丁堡现在就会被占领，罗德里克就会掌权。 你也一样！“啊，我知道，别提醒我，”他说，后退了几步。 相信我，做正确的事是很奇怪的。 我觉得有点不舒服！我本可以把这个镇管理得很好。 我会确保火车一开始就准点运行。 “那现在怎么办？”她问他。 “我肯定我能和拉里摆平这件事。 跟我们一起回来吧；我们需要你。“我亲爱的女孩，你肯定不知道——你正在成为两倍于忍者拉里或。

I were. BUT DO SEND THE STUBBORN OLD GOAT MY LOVE. I'll look him up next time I'm in town. No, I think I'll head north for a while and see where the wind takes me. I do still want to take over the world, you know. I say, doesn't that make me a wanted animal?' 'Yes, but I think we'll give you a head start. Let's say twelve or so hours before I get back to London and report seeing you. Thank you, Ferdicat, for everything. You might be a criminal mastermind but you stood up to be counted when it mattered. ADF looked touched and embarrassed. He doffed his hat to the little ninja gently and then, with a SWISH OF HIS CAPE, he was gone, leaving only the steam of the train in his wake. Toto looked up and down the platform but her senses picked up nothing. Smiling to herself she shut the window and

我是。但一定要把我的爱送给那只倔强的老山羊。 我下次进城的时候会去看他的。 不，我想我要往北走一段时间，看看风会把我带到哪里。 我还是想统治世界的，你知道的。 我说，这不是让我成为通缉犯了吗？“是的，但我想我们会让你先开始的。” 那就在我回伦敦报告见到你之前的12个小时左右吧。 谢谢你，费迪卡特，谢谢你所做的一切。 你也许是个犯罪策划者但在关键时刻你挺身而出。 ADF看起来既感动又尴尬。 他轻轻地向小忍者脱下帽子，然后，他的斗篷嗖地一声，他就走了，只留下火车的蒸汽在他身后。 托托上下打量着平台，但是她的感官什么也没有发现。 她自己笑着关上了窗户

made her way to the dining car to find her friends. Maybe she was a bit peckish after all.

她去餐车找她的朋友。 也许她是有点饿了。
