„Oh yes!" said Anne, her eyes shining. „Oh Dick, that"s a marvellous idea! Mrs Johnson wil get rid of us all and Timmy too, then, and we would have a lovely time all by ourselves!"

„Kil ing quite a lot of birds with one stone!" said Julian. „We"ve got a couple of tents in our kit, Anne. Very small ones, but they"l do. And we can borrow rubber sheets to put on the heather, though it"s as dry as a bone, as far as I can see!"

„I"l go and tel George!" said Anne, joyfully. „Let"s go today, Julian, and be out of the way before the new children come. Captain Johnson"s got two new horses coming too. He"l be very glad to have a few of us out of the way!"

She flew off to tell George. George was busy polishing some harness, a job she liked very much. She listened to Anne"s excited tale. Henry was there too, looking gloomy. She looked gloomier stil at the end.

„It"s too bad," she said, when Anne had finished. „I could have come with you if it hadn"t been for these great-aunts of mine. WHY did they have to come just at this very moment!

„Of course she must," said George, solemnly. She and Anne exchanged a look. Poor Henry. But really, it would be very nice to be without her for a little while.

Everyone began to be suddenly very busy. Dick and Julian undid their packs to find out exactly what was in them. Mrs Johnson looked out rubber sheets and old rugs. She was a wonder at producing things like that!

Wil iam wanted to go with them and help to carry the things, but nobody wanted his help.

They just wanted to be off and away by themselves, just the Five and nobody else! Timmy caught the excitement too and his tail thumped and wagged the whole morning.

„You"l be pretty wel loaded," said Mrs Johnson, doubtfully. „It"s a good thing that fine weather is forecast, or you"d have to take macs as well. Stil , I imagine you won"t go very far on the
