Chapter 18 A MOST EXCITING TIME!
It was quite a job pushing the heavy chest over towards the stone wall of the castle. It took all ofthem, shoving with all their might, to do it.
'We seem to be making an awful noise with the chest scraping over the floor,' panted Dick. 'I hopewe're not heard!'
Timmy wished he could help. He kept jumping up and pressing his paws on the side of the chest, butDick stopped him. 'You're getting in the way,' he said. 'You go and sit near the door and warn us ifyou hear those men coming.'
So Timmy ran to the door and sat there, his head cocked to one side, listening, while the others wenton shoving the heavy chest along. At last it was in position. Then came the job of hoisting1 a stoutlittle wooden table on top. Julian climbed up to the top of the chest to take the table from Dick, butjust couldn't manage it, it was so heavy and solid. So Wilfrid climbed up beside him, and between thetwo of them they pulled up the little oblong table, and set it firmly on top of the chest. Julian stood onit - and found he could easily reach the little iron door, that led into the old well.
'Good,' he said, and he gave the door a hard shove. It shook a little, but didn't budge2. He gave itanother hard push. 'What's up?' said Dick, climbing up beside Julian. 'It must open - the bolt's notthere any more - it fell off into the well. I expect it's rusted3 a little again. We'll both shove it together.'
The girls watched the boys anxiously, dreading4 every moment to hear the two men returning.
Together the boys pushed at the iron door - and it groaned5 and then gave way, swinging open insidethe well-wall! To the boys' delight, there was the rope, hanging near them!

'We've done it!' Dick called down softly to the girls. 'We'll come down and help you up to the tablehere - then we'll try our luck up the well.'
The girls were soon on the chest top. There wasn't room for everyone on the table, and the boys weredebating what to do next.
'You go up the rope, Julian,' said Dick. 'You can climb up to the top and get out and look around andmake sure there's no one about. Then Wilfrid can climb up - do you think you can, Wilfrid?'
'Of course,' said the boy. 'Then I can help Julian to wind up the girls!'
