"Maria! Noooo!", you shout as you dive at her feet and try to seize the right shoe which contains her diminuitive neighbour before she has a chance to put her foot in.
The scene that unfolds would appear comical to anyone who would have been watching. A young male is on his knees before his enormous middle-aged neighbour struggling with her for control of a decrepit women's sneaker that dwarfs the shoes of most men.
"Let go!" she shouts in her deep but still feminine voice.
"But Mrs. Purdey, you don't understand..." you say as you struggle with her.
Her grip on the shoe is not as strong as yours, since she was not expecting to have to fight for it, and so it slides free from her grasp (and yours), and tumbles a few feet away onto the grass. You aren't sure whether Clara was still in it, or if she had been knocked out during the struggle and was lost somewhere within the long blades of grass.
Nevertheless, your best bet is that she is still inside the shoe and getting that is still your priority. However, there is one tiny problem... You are still on your knees and look up to see the enormous bikini clad woman standing before you with her hands on her hips. You crane your neck even higher and see that her face has a very pissed off look on it.
"You had better explain yourself, young man." she says with piercing dark eyes that seem to penetrate your soul.
You stutter as you try to explain your actions: "I... uh... I didn't want you to put your foot in there because... I seen something inside there"
"Well, what did you see? Tell me!" She commands with her powerful voice.
You have to tell her you seen something, but if she finds out it is a tiny girl there will be hell to pay. Clara will probably tell Maria you did this to her! So you pretend you aren't sure what you've seen.
You can say you thought it was a spider, and maybe she will scream and ask you to get rid of it. But on the other hand, Maria Purdey doesn't look like the kind of woman who is intimidated by spiders. You aren't sure, and she may just squash Clara. Do you dare risk this?
Your other option is to say you did in fact see a tiny person, but that you are ignorant or who or what it was. She may just think you are nuts, or she may be intrigued and take a look. At less than a half inch tall, Clara may even be too small to explain her situation (and your responsibility for it) to the giant woman. Maybe she doesn't even remember anyway?
Yet on the other hand, you aren't even sure she is still inside the shoe!
Having made your decision, you look up to the tall voluptuous and slightly scary woman and say: "When I looked inside your shoe I noticed what appeared to be..."
