HELEN WAS NO DUMMY... SHE SMELLED A RAT... AND SHE KNEW THE RAT SHE SMELLED WAS A "CONCEPTUAL" ODOR; AS DISTINGUISHED FROM A "REAL" ODOR... AS ONE OBVIOUSLY HAVING BEEN PRODUCED BY HER HALF-BROTHER JIMMY...

THE FACT OF THE TEMPERATURE HOVERING JUST A HAIR ABOVE FREEZING HAVING MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR JIMMY TO PRODUCE A COUPLE OF STREAMS OF VISIBLE, BUT UNCONVINCING AND ODORLESS EMISSIONS, HAD BECOME A FAULTED RUSE... AND HELEN SUSPECTED A FAR LOWER SOURCE !

IT WAS ALL VERY COMPLEX... ONE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HALF BEEN THERE...
