Five Fall Into Adventure Read Online Free PDF

of dog-girl, that she could so well speak his language?
    Jo flung herself on her face and went on with the small, whining noises that sounded as if she were a small dog in pain or sorrow. Timmy walked over to her and sat down, his head on one side, puzzled. Then he suddenly bent down and licked the girl’s half-hidden face. She sat up at once and put her arms round Timmy’s neck.

    ‘Come here, Timmy,’ said George, jealously. Timmy shook off the brown arms that held him and walked over to George at once.
    Jo laughed.
    ‘See? I made him come to me and give me one of his best licks! I can do that to any dog.’
    ‘How can you?’ asked Dick, in wonder. He had never seen Timmy make friends before with anyone who was disliked by George.
    ‘I don’t know, really,’ said Jo, pushing back her hair again, as she sat up. ‘I reckon it’s in the family. My mother was in a circus, and she trained dogs for the ring. We had dozens
    - lovely they were. I loved them all.’
    ‘Where is your mother?’ asked Julian. ‘Is she still in the circus?’
    ‘No. She died,’ said Jo. ‘And I left the circus with my Dad. We’ve got a caravan. Dad was an acrobat till he hurt his foot.’
    The four children remembered how the man had dragged his foot as he walked. They looked silently at dirty little Jo. What a strange life she must have led!
    ‘She’s dirty, she’s probably very good at telling lies and thieving, but she’s got pluck,’
    thought Julian. ‘Still, I’ll be glad when she goes.’
    ‘I wish I hadn’t given her that awful bruise,’ thought Dick. ‘I wonder what she’d be like cleaned up and brushed? She looks as if a little kindness would do her good.’
    ‘I’m sorry for her, but I don’t much like her,’ thought Anne.
    ‘I don’t believe a word she says!’ thought George angrily. ‘Not one word! She’s a humbug. And I’m ashamed of Timmy for going to her. I feel very cross with him.’
    ‘Where’s your father?’ asked Julian at last.
    ‘Gone off somewhere to meet somebody,’ said Jo vaguely. ‘I’m glad. He was in one of his tempers this morning. I went and hid under the caravan.’
    There was a silence. ‘Can I stay with you today till my Dad comes back?’ said Jo suddenly, in her sing-song voice. ‘I’ll wash myself if you like. I’m all alone today.’
    ‘No. We don’t want you,’ said George, feeling as if she really couldn’t bear Jo any longer. ‘Do we, Anne?’
    Anne didn’t like hurting anyone. She hesitated. ‘Well,’ she said at last, ‘perhaps Jo had better go.’
    ‘Yes,’ said Julian. ‘It’s time you scooted off now, Jo. You’ve had a long time with us.’
    Jo looked at Dick with mournful eyes, and touched the bruise on her chin as if it hurt her.
    Dick felt most uncomfortable again. He looked round at the others.
    ‘Don’t you think she could stay and share our picnic?’ he said. ‘After all - she can’t help being dirty and - and...’
    ‘It’s all right,’ said Jo, suddenly scrambling up. ‘I’m going! There’s my Dad!’
    They saw the man in the distance, dragging his foot as he walked. He caught sight of Jo and gave a shrill and piercing whistle. Jo made a face at them all, an impudent, ugly, insolent face.
    ‘I don’t like you!’ she said. Then she pointed at Dick. ‘I only like him - he’s nice. Yah to the rest of you!’
    And off she went like a hare over the sand, her bare feet hardly touching the ground.
    ‘What an extraordinary girl!’ said Julian. ‘l don’t feel we’ve seen the last of her yet!’

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE NIGHT?

    That night Anne began to look rather scared as darkness fell. She was remembering the Face at the Window!
    ‘It won’t come again, Ju, will it?’ she said to her big brother half a dozen
