　　Chapter 22 JO IS VERY SMART
　　'Jo,' said Simmy. 'Well, of all the... well... Jo!' Jake recovered first. 'What's all this?' he said, roughly,to Simmy. 'What's Jo doing here? How did she get here? Where's the other kid, the one we caught?'
　　'How do I know?' said Simmy, still staring at Jo. 'Look here, Jo - what are you doing here? Go on, tellus. And where's the other kid?'

　　'What do you mean - saying she's not here!' he raged. 'Are you mad?'
　　'Nope,' said Jake, his eyes narrow too. 'Not so mad as you are, anyway, Red. This kid isn't thatfellow's daughter - the scientist chap we took the papers from - this is Simmy's kid - Jo.'
