Chapter 15 LOCKED IN THE CAVE
　　Dick, George and Anne looked at one another in dismay. Someone must have been lying in wait forthem, someone must have captured Timmy and shut him up. And now they were captured, too!
　　Timmy began to bark when Julian shouted. He ran to the door. Julian was hammering on it and evenkicking it.
　　A voice came from the other side of the door, a drawling voice, sounding rather amused.
　　'You came at an awkward time, that's all, and you must remain where you are till tomorrow.'
　　'Who are you?' said Julian fiercely. 'How dare you lock us in like this!'
　　75
　　'I believe you have food and drink with you,' said the voice. 'I noticed the packs on your backs, whichI presume contain food. That is lucky for you! Now be sensible. You must pay the penalty of beinginquisitive!'
　　'You let us out!' shouted Julian, enraged1 at the cool voice with its impertinent tone. He kicked thedoor again out of temper, though he knew that it wasn't the slightest use!
　　There was no reply. Whoever it was outside the cave door had gone. Julian gave the door one lastfurious kick and looked round at the others.
　　'That fellow must have been watching us from somewhere. Probably followed us all the way to theold house, and saw the packs on our backs then. It must have been he that you heard down in thehouse when we were in the tower, Anne.'
　　Timmy barked again. He was still at the door. George called him. 'Tim! It's no use! The door'slocked. Oh dear, why did we let you go into that hole first? If you hadn't run on ahead and somehowgot yourself caught, you'd have been able to protect us when those men lay in wait!'
　　'Well, what do we do now?' said Anne, trying to sound brave.
　　'What can we do?' said George. 'Nothing at all! Here we are, locked and bolted in a cave inside thecliff, with nobody near except the fellow who locked us in. If anybody's got any good ideas I'd like tohear them!'
　　'You do sound cross!' said Anne. 'I suppose there isn't anything to do but wait till we're let out. I onlyhope that man remembers we're here. Nobody else knows where we are.'
　　'Horrid thought!' said Dick. 'Still, I've no doubt that Mrs. Penruthlan would raise the alarm, and asearch-party would set out to find us.'
　　'What a hope they'd have!' said George. 'Even if they did trace us to the old tower, they wouldn'tknow the secret entrance to the passage!'
　　'Well, let's look on the cheerful side,' said Julian, undoing3 the pack from his back. 'Let's have somefood.'
　　Everybody cheered up at once. 'I feel quite hungry,' said Anne in surprise. 'It must be past our dinnertime now. Well, anyway, eating will be something to do!'
