Castigating Benedict, the bright light had nearly blinded them and Barnabas felt himself hurtling through the air, only to wake up here.
“Hey Barney! Found what you were looking for this time?” Snickers accompanied this all too familiar line, which Barney (oh how he couldn’t stand that moniker) had come to ignore.
He would try again tomorrow, just as he had for the past seven years, to get back home; home to the time of suavity and the Queen’s English.
