Chapter 14 WILFRID HAS AN ADVENTURE ON HIS OWN
'What about Timmy? He can't climb,' said George, fearfully. 'He might be shot.'
'Put him under a bush and tell him to sit, sit, sit!' said Julian, urgently. 'He knows perfectly1 well whatthat means. Go on, George, quick.'
George took Timmy by the collar and led him to a very thick bush. She pushed him under it. Heturned himself round, poked2 his nose out of the leaves, and looked at her in surprise.
'Sit, Timmy! Sit, and keep quiet!' said George. 'Sit, sit, sit - and keep quiet. Understand?'
'Woof,' said Timmy, very quietly, and withdrew his nose, so that nothing of him could be seen at all.
He knew perfectly well what George meant. Clever old Timmy!
Dick was giving Anne a shove up a tree with drooping3 branches thick with leaves. 'Get as high as youcan,' he said, in a low voice. 'And then stay put till you hear me call you. Don't be afraid. OldTimmy's down here to protect you!'
Anne gave him rather a small smile. She was not like George, fearless and always ready to rush intotrouble. Anne was all for a peaceful life - but how could she have that if she was one of the Five!
The boys and George were now high up in trees, listening to the shouting going on. ApparentlyWilfrid was not going to give away his friends - one up to him!
'How did you get here?' a man was shouting.
'In a boat,' said Wilfrid.
'Who was with you?' shouted another man.
'Nobody. I came alone,' said Wilfrid, perfectly truthfully. 'I wanted to visit the island. I'm an animal-lover and I heard that all the wild creatures here were tame.'
'A likely story that!' sneered5 a man's voice. 'Huh! Animal-lover!'
'All right then - look what I've got here in my pocket,' said Wilfrid, and apparently4 showed the manhis baby hedgehog. 'He was trodden on by a horse - and I've been looking after him.'
'Very well - you can go back to your boat, and row away,' said the man. 'AT ONCE! mind. And don'tlook so scared. We shan't hurt you. We've business of our own here, and we don't want strangersround - not even silly little kids with hedgehogs in their pockets!'
60
Wilfrid took to his heels and fled. He felt lost now. He would never find the others - or the covewhere his boat was. WHY had he disobeyed Julian? Had the others heard the men shouting at him?
