Neville and the Petulant Ferret: A Neville Hardencourt IV Short Story

By Jessica Baverstock

Neville Hardencourt IV is a quintessential gentleman, always ready to help a friend—even if that friend has got himself into a predicament which common sense and a modicum of forethought could have prevented.

Lord Pepperington is just such a friend and his lost pet just such a predicament.

But there are limits. And Lord Pepperington’s choice of pet may have just reached Neville’s limit.

A short gallivant through St James’ Park with the lovable hero of the Neville Hardencourt IV series.

AS A RULE, I don’t much care for Fridays.

Don’t know why. Never could get the hang of them. They seemed to lie like a sleeping policeman (or speed bump for those not familiar with the British parlance) at the cusp of the weekend, forcing you to muddle through one more weekday before the blessed reprieve of the weekend finally arrives.
