I lived in Lancaster until I joined the police. Did my training there, and then I was posted to Ulverston proper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBob and I met in town, and then after we married we were offered a police house here. As long as he accepted that this sort of rural job is quite different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo crime!\u201d says Burgess. \u201cwell nothing worth talking about, Mrs Higgin\u2019s once managed to lose her dog. Mr Fotheringham swore blind that his neighbour\u2019s goat had been eating the socks off his washing line. And CrankyHandle reported that someone\u2019s been stealing his shadow. Turns out he was just out a bit earlier in the day for his morning walk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe peace and quiet here in Penny Bridge is its most bothersome feature!\u201d says Sophie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we still need village Bobbies then?\u201d asks NutJob.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is mainly community relations,\u201d says Burgess, \u201cstopping crime before it happens. I do lots of school visits, lots of villages, that\u2019s why I\u2019m based out here. Education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd,\u201d says KristalClear, \u201cthat\u2019s why CandiCrush said we should come to your place in Penny Bridge. You know everybody!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore importantly,\u201d he says, \u201cwe have a nice, big, old fashioned police house, with extra room. Hence we often have visitors. Official, unofficial, and demi-official. Like you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you don\u2019t have a horse?\u201d asks KristalClear.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/09\/23\/chapter-31-the-dandy-highwayman-cafe279\/\">Previous<\/a> &#8211; Book1 Page281 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/09\/25\/chapter-32-on-the-wolf-wavelength282\/\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous &#8211; Book1 Page281 \u2013 Next Chapter 32 On the Wolf Wavelength Over breakfast Bob and Sophie Burgess are chatting about the local area, the farms, the smallholdings, and the people who run them.
