“Famous Five 19 - Five Go To Demon's Rock” By Enid Blyton 36

‘Labyrinth,’ said Julian, smiling. ‘Right - we’ll be careful.’

The Five went off, Timmy glad to be on the move again. He couldn’t understand the old man’s story, of course, and he wondered why George hadn’t taken him for his usual after-breakfast walk. He gave a little whine, and she patted his big head.

‘Sorry, Timmy!’ she said. ‘That old man told such an interesting story that I quite forgot you were longing for a walk. We’ll go for one now.’

‘Let’s call in at the tobacconist’s first, shall we?’ said Julian. ‘That old chap deserves an extra smoke for his tale. Goodness knows how much was true - but he certainly told it well!’

‘Of course it was true!’ said George. ‘Why ever should he tell lies?’

‘Well - he might have to get extra tobacco, you know!’ said Julian, smiling. ‘I don’t blame him! It’s a jolly good story - but please don’t think there’s any treasure still hidden somewhere, George. It’s no use believing that.’

‘Well, I do believe it!’ said George, defiantly. ‘I think he was telling the truth, tobacco or no tobacco. Don’t you, Tinker?’

‘Oh yes,’ said Tinker. ‘You wait till you see the caves round about here! Hoo - there might be any amount of treasure there, and no one would ever know! I did hunt round a bit myself - but those caves are scary, and when I coughed once, my cough came echoing back to me a hundred times and I was so scared I ran for my life - and fell splash into a pool!’

Everyone laughed. ‘Let’s buck up and do our shopping,’ said Dick. ‘And then what about going for a good long walk?’

‘Well, I don’t want to carry eggs and bread and milk for miles,’ said George. ‘I say a walk first - and then we’ll come back, have ice-creams, do our shopping - and go back to the light-house.’

‘Right!’ said Julian. ‘Come on, Timmy. We’re off for a WALK - a WALK! Ha, that’s the word to set your tail wagging, isn’t it? Look at it Mischief. Don’t you wish you could wag your tail like that!’
