Chapter 13 A NIGHT IN THE CELLAR
　　The piece of paper was carefully folded and this time Julian took it for safe keeping. 'I can't imaginewhat it means, but it's clearly important,' he said. 'We may quite suddenly come on something - orthink of something - that will give us a clue to what the words and the lines mean on the paper.'
　　'We mustn't forget that dear Maggie has a copy of the paper too,' said Dick. 'She probably knowsbetter than we do what it all means!'
　　'If she does, she will pay a visit to Two-Trees too,' said Anne. 'We ought to keep a look-out for her.
　　Should we have to hide if we saw her?'
　　Julian considered this. 'No,' he said, 'I certainly don't think we should hide. Maggie can't possiblyguess that we have had the message from Nailer, and the paper too. We had better just say we are ona hike and found this place and thought we would shelter here. All perfectly¹ true.'

　　'The only thing I don't like is the thought of those cellars beyond this little underground room,'
　　said Anne. 'I keep thinking that Maggie and her friends might be there, waiting to pounce³ on us whenwe are asleep.'
　　'You're silly,' said George, scornfully. 'Really silly! Do you honestly suppose that Timmy would liehere quietly if there was anyone in those cellars? You know jolly well he would be barking his headoff!'
　　'Yes. I know all that,' said Anne, snuggling down in her heathery bed. 'It's just my imagination.
　　You haven't got any, George, so you don't bother about imaginary fears. I'm not really scared whileTimmy is here. But I do think it's funny the way we always
