Winston had arrived, carrying Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Percival, the controller of the Narrow Gauge Railway. Luke quickly hid. “Thank you for your work, Thomas,” said Mr. Percival. “Paxton will now take over again.” When Winston had motored away, Thomas asked Luke why he felt he had to hide. “I did something very bad,” said Luke. “I’ve done bad things, too,” peeped Thomas.
