They all began to dance once more around the room as their encore. When they were finished they took a bow. The applause was deafening! Everyone was enthralled with Martha and the other hens. The crowd started to disperse and go back to work. The sergeant went round closing all the hatches on the cell doors. As everyone went their way, they all made a point of walking over to the holding cell where Gilbert and Mr Finleyson were. Comments of "Well done" "Great entertainment" "Loved it" "Those hens can dance" "I could watch them all over again" "You should be so proud of your hens" etc etc, were all directed at Mr Finleyson as they walked past. Martha and the hens were fed and watered by the civilian worker in charge of the kennels. The desk sergeant went into the holding cell carrying Martha after she and the other hens had eaten. He set her down beside Mr Finleyson, who was sitting next to Gilbert on a very long, built into the wall, wooden bench like seat. Mr Finleyson picked her up and gave her a cuddle, he was so pleased to have her back. The desk sergeant said to both men, "Are either one of you hungry? We will be serving dinner shortly. For you want tea or coffee with your meals"? Gilbert replied, "I'll have a cup of tea, what about you Oliver"? Mr Finleyson said, "Make mine coffee, thank you " The sergeant replied to both men, "No bother." He turned and looked at Mr Finleyson and said, "Do you want the other hens in here with you, since you're here for the night. They can run around in here and get some exercise. Wouldn't be fair to put them in the kennel and separate them from you and Martha. " Mr Finleyson replied, "Thank you very much sergeant. Martha and I would love to have them in here with us! Very decent of you sergeant. Do you mind having them in here for the night Gilbert"? Gilbert replied, "I don't mind Oliver, the more the merrier! " The sergeant said, "We'll bring them to you after dinner " The sergeant then turned and walked away back to his desk to organise the delivery of dinners which would be delivered on trolleys to the back door.
