Poppy was so crushed by Dicky Metcalfe's betrayal that she never looked outside of the Rolls on the way home. Everyone around her didn't feel all that cheery either. Constable Wilson requested someone to drive the stolen Roster back to the police station since he himself didn't have a license.
Everything was running reasonably well. They were traveling in a convoy style; Lord Meldrum drove the Rolls Royce, followed by the Roster with Teddy in the driver's seat, the motorbike and sidecar being driven by Stokes and, finally, the grocery van. However as they rolled along back towards London something very bizarre took place.
Out of the blue a multi-coloured haze appeared down the road and engulfed almost everyone. Only the grocery van was untouched, but the driver stopped and stared at the empty road ahead.
"What in God's name?!?" Lord Meldrum shouted as he found that there was nothing he could do with the car at this time.
Eventually the strange mist cleared. As the car now rolled along a dirt track in the middle of a forest Meldrum applied the brakes and struggled to avoid hitting the trees before they came to a stop. Poppy remained sobbing on the backseat while Meldrum, Sir Ralph, Lady Agatha, the Lord Bishop and Cissy stepped out.
"What on Earth was that?" Sir Ralph asked in a bewildered tone.
"No idea." Meldrum replied. "Charles?"
"I can't be sure." The bishop replied. "This could be the work of our Lord, but it might be the Devil's work. Only time will tell."
