The Shaggy Man lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. After a long time he drifted into a fitful slumber broken by dreams in which Conjo sailed through the air, clutching the Love Magnet, and Twink and Tom were transformed into dolls, no larger than Twiffle. In his dream the Shaggy Man seemed to be bound with ropes to his bed, powerless to stop any of Conjo's mischief, while Twiffle tugged at his bonds saying, "Wake up, Shaggy Man, wake up!"
Shaggy opened his eyes and stared. There was Twiffle at the side of his bed, shaking him and saying:
"Wake up, Shaggy Man, wake up!"
CHAPTER 7
Into Hightown
The Shaggy Man was awake in an instant. "What is it, Twiffle, what is wrong?"
"There is no time to lose," whispered Twiffle. "Quick, get into your clothes, and I will arouse the children."
Shaggy dressed as speedily as possible, but no sooner had he finished than Twiffle, followed by Twink and Tom, now wide-eyed with excitement and fully dressed, appeared in the doorway. "Come," Twiffle whispered.
