Nobody really knows, that's the truth of it. We came in on Monday morning, (I think Mrs.Willidge arrived first), and there it was. Just sitting there, saying "play me! play me!". Of course we didn't, because no-one here knows how to play the keyboard, let alone do all that "fancy stuff" with your feet at the same time, even! We reported it to the local constabulary, and Officer Tomlins came and had a look, but no-one was missing a pipe organ, or anything remotely like it. Officer Tomlins said all in all it had been a very quiet weekend, and the only thing reported "stolen" was a pair of false teeth (by old Boley), and we were all sure he'd just dropped them in the toilet again by mistake.
