We borrowed this from the library, and it was all going swimmingly - they moved house to the flat that unfolds from the page and it was perfect and .... the last three pages are in Italian. WTF? Please can you tell me what happens on the last three pages. The suspense is killing ds1 and ds2.

TIA.

Ok - Page with flap up bit and tall sky scrappers:

"It was with a heavy heart that Hubert h. finally asked Grimshaw to drive himself and Stanton to the estate agent. After several nail biting seconds, the agent said that he might have a home that the Bobton-Trents could afford. it was excitedly called 17b Plankton Heights. With great trepidation Hubert went home to tell his parents the unfortunate news."

(next page - under flap)

"But what a surprise - Mr & Mrs Bobton-Trent liked it at once. For one thing it had a great view and for another all the rooms were next door to each other. IT WAS PERFECT."

(next page)
Mrs Bobton-Trent loved that there was always someone available for a game of kerplunk. mr B-T started his career as a doorman, a job perfectly suited to his social skills. Mr grimshaw retained his job as Butler, taking care of all the residents.

And Hubert and Stanton found the perfect place for table tennis. Hubert's parents said "Hubert Horartio Bartle B-T you are a genius for moving us here. We have never been so happy.

And Hubert realised that being frightfully rich was not frightfully important to his parents after all.

(LAST PAGE!)
"And for the first time ever, Hubert H's cocoa was still warm by the time he had walked the short distance to his parents' room to say Goodnight"

THE END
(thank god - speed typing - apologise for spelling errors! :))
