Then I heard the Giraffe saying to the Pelican in the next window, ‘Pelly, my dear, be so good as to fly down and bring that small person up here to talk to us. Arriving at this spacious parcel of land, all four find a way to assist the Duke around his estate before discovering a jewel heist taking place within the manor house.
