The Kelda explains that the Queen of the Fairies has captured Wentworth, and Tiffany must go into Fairyland to rescue him, taking the Nac Mac Feegles with her. They knew her grandmother, and as a result, they agree to take her to their leader, the Kelda. She learns the Nac Mac Feegles’ names, Rob Anybody, Big Yan, and Daft Wullie. She realizes that they fear and respect her because they think she is a witch, and because she knows how to read and write. She then tries to get help from the Nac Mac Feegles. Tiffany tries to find Miss Tick but she is gone, along with the other teachers.

The next morning, Tiffany is about to go find Miss Tick to ask her about what happened when her mother appears in a panic, asking where Wentworth is. They are very fast and agile, but they also seem scared of her. That night, she discovers the Nac Mac Feegles stealing her family’s sheep and eggs. She gives Tiffany her toad to act as a guide and disappears. She says she senses a big change coming, that two worlds are about to meet, and she thinks that Tiffany might be a witch, as was her grandmother. Miss Tick tells Tiffany that the little men were Nac Mac Feegles, rowdy creatures with Scottish accents.
