Another meeting was called in Gnomesville the following weekend and they all sat around looking quite despondent especially Grandma Gnomey who let a rather large tear fall every so often followed by a deep sigh.  She had heard from Grumpy that G.W. would be delighted to have her moved to his abode, but her main concern at this very moment was to help find homes for the rest of Gnomesville and there were so many of them.  Mr.Pinkears grinned from ear to ear he was yearning to move and had had wanderlust for some while as the drilling had made his head shake so violently his ears had gone even pinker.  "I would love to live by the sea" he sigh "Oh don't start on that one again" said Mr.Silly.  It's all right for you lot you are living with that nice G.W. man who feeds you honey cookies and milk.  Moreover my friend Mr.Peppermint has gone to live with that nice lady who thinks he is cute.  They all starting tittering when Grumpy added and anyway with the colours you where you would stand out so much a seagull would probably think you were some kind of tasty morsel.  By this time poor Pinkears was look very despondent as they were all giggling.  I am sure someone will be only too pleased to adopt you said "Mr.Silly adding "You always brighten our day with your rainbow colours. " Now lets be sensible " said Grandma Gnomey.  "What we need is a plan" said Mr. Posh.  At that moment Mr.Pepperment arrived on his gnomestick his face cover in chocolate.  Mr. Pinkears squealed with delight on seeing his friend and then proclaimed loudy "Yes we need a plan"  "The best thing " said Mr.Grumpy "is that I speak to G.W as he knows lots of people and I am sure that there are many other humans like him who would like to give one of us a home" "That sounds very sensible to me" said Grandma Gnomey who had been polishing her gnomestick like mad.  "Ok" said Grumpy I will talk to G.W. tonight.
