“I don’t think we can break down the door,” said Dora. “Mrs Pinkerton would be jolly upset with us.”

“She’d be even more upset if she found our mouldering corpses in here,” said Ruby, crossly.

“We wouldn’t actually moulder,” said Alex. “Henry knows where we are. He’ll find us eventually.”

“Oh,” said Ruby. “Eventually. Great. When those men will be miles away. In Sweden, probably, spending their ill-gotten gains on … I dunno … saunas and stuff. While we’re stuck here.” She eyed Mrs Pinkerton’s car, which was parked in the middle of the coach house floor. “How difficult are 1912 cars to drive, do you think? I bet we could break down that door if we drove a car into it.”

“We couldn’t,” said Dora looking shocked. “Motor cars are frightfully dear. We can’t drive one into a door.”

“They aren’t as expensive as that Cup, I bet,” said Ruby mutinously, but since neither she nor Alex knew how to drive, the point was somewhat moot.

“Maybe there are other people around,” Dora suggested. “We could shout?” Ruby looked rather put out that someone besides herself had come up with a good idea, and, after some argument about what to shout, they counted to three and all yelled, “HELP!”

Then, because it was rather good fun, they did it again.

“HELP! HELP!”

“WE’RE IN THE COACH HOUSE!” Alex added, but it didn’t do any good. No one came.
