Rock” By Enid Blyton 15
    Mr Kirrin was astounded to find himself dripping wet. He stared angrily up at Mischief absolutely certain that it was the monkey who had emptied the water over him.
    By this time the Five had come out of the living-room, wondering what the noise was.
    ‘It’s old Mischief,’ said Tinker. ‘Throwing water, I should think!’
    ‘Well, actually, I threw the water,’ began Joan apologetically, peeping out of the scullery,
    ‘because...’
    ‘YOU threw it?’ said Mr Kirrin, amazed. ‘What is happening in this house? Things have come to a pretty pass if you start flinging water at people, Joan. You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Are you mad?’
    ‘Listen, Quentin,’ said his wife. ‘Nobody’s mad at present, but pretty soon we all shall be, if this sort of thing goes on! Quentin, are you LISTENING? I’ve something important to say to you - and to you too, Professor.’
    The Professor remembered his manners. He gave a slight bow to Mrs Kirrin. ‘Please go on,’ he said politely, and then flinched as a raisin hit him squarely on the head. Mischief had found one on the floor, and had taken a pot-shot at the Professor. Dick looked at the monkey admiringly - he really was a very good shot!
    ‘What’s that little fathead of a monkey throwing!’ said Mr Kirrin, fiercely, and at once knew when a raisin hit him smartly on the nose. ‘Get rid of him! Put him in the dustbin!
    Why have I to put up with monkeys that throw things and boys that chug about the house like cars gone mad? I tell you Fanny, I will NOT have it!’
    Mrs Kirrin looked at him very sternly. ‘Listen Quentin, I have something to say. LISTEN!
    Tinker says his father gave him a light-house for his own, and he suggests that he and all the others should leave here and go and stay in the light-house. Quentin, are you listening?’
    ‘A light-house! Are you mad? What, that little monkey of a boy says he owns a lighthouse? And you believed him?’ said Mr Kirrin, amazed.
    ‘Tinker’s quite right, as it happens,’ said Professor Hayling. ‘I bought a light-house to work in when I wanted to get right away from everywhere and concentrate - and when I’d finished, I couldn’t sell it - so as Tinker pestered me for it, I gave it to him. But not to live in!’
    ‘A light-house to work in!’ said Mr Kirrin, thinking what a truly marvellous idea this was.
    ‘I’ll buy it from you! I’ll...’
    ‘No, Quentin, you won’t do anything of the sort,’ said his wife, firmly. ‘Will you PLEASE
    listen to me, both of you. Professor Hayling, is the light-house fit for these five to stay in
    - and if so, they want to know if they can go there until you two have finished your work here. They’re a nuisance to you - and to be quite honest, you’re a nuisance to them!’
    ‘Fanny!’ said her husband, astonished and angry.
    ‘Father, listen. We’ll all get out of your way as soon as possible, if you’ll say we can go to Tinker’s lighthouse,’ said George, planting herself firmly in front of her father. ‘Say one word - YES - that’s all we want.’
    ‘YES!’ shouted Mr Kirrin, suddenly tired of all the argument, and longing to get back to his papers with the Professor. ‘YES! Go to the light-house - go to the Tower of London -
    go and live at the Zoo, if you like! The monkeys will welcome that mischievous little creature, sitting grinning up there on the cupboard! But go SOMEWHERE!’
    ‘Oh thank you, Father!’ said George, joyfully. ‘We’ll go off to the light-house as soon as we can. HURRAY! THREE CH...’
    But before she could continue, the study door shut with a bang behind the two exasperated men. George bent down, took Timmy’s two front legs, and proceeded to

    dance all round the living-room with him, shouting HURRAY! THREE CHEERS!’ over and over again.
    Mrs Kirrin sat down suddenly in a chair, and began to laugh. Joan laughed too. ‘If we
