Chapter 19 ANNE IS A TIGER!
In the meantime, George was hurrying down the secret way through the cliffs. Timmy ran first infront and then behind, his ears pricked1 for any possible pursuer or danger. He could hear no one.
Good! Both he and George were glad to hear the babbling2 of the funny little underground stream as itran swiftly down towards the sea. 'It's a nice friendly sound, Tim,' said George. 'I like it.'
Once or twice they slipped from the wet ledges3 into the water, and George felt a bit afraid of fallingand breaking her torch. 'It wouldn't be much fun if we had to go down this passage in the pitch dark!'
she told Timmy, and he gave a little woof of agreement.
'What's that bright light?' said George, suddenly, stopping in the passage. 'Look, Tim - awfully4 bright.
Is it someone coming with a lantern?'

Timmy gave a loud bark and rush in front. He knew that lantern all right! It was the one thatsomebody sometimes hung in the sky, and that George called the Moon. Didn't she know?
George soon did know, of course, and cried out in delight. 'Oh, it's the moon, of course, dear oldmoon. I'd forgotten it was a moonlight night tonight. I wonder where the others are, Timmy.
You'll have to smell them out!'
Timmy already knew where they were! He had caught their scent5 on the wind. They weren't very faraway! He barked joyously6. Soon they would all be together again!
He and George came out of the tunnel in the cliff and found themselves on the rocks. The sea wassplashing over them, and the waves gleamed brightly in the bright moonlight.
George saw something moving in the distance. She put her hand on Timmy's collar. 'Careful, Tim,'
she said. 'Is that someone coming over there? Stay by me.'
But Timmy disobeyed for once! He leapt away and splashed through pools, over seaweed, overslippery rocks, barking madly. 'Timmy!' called George, not recognising who was coming.
'TIMMY! COME BACK!'
And then she saw who were coming over the rock in the bright moonlight, picking their way throughthe slippery seaweed. She waved and shouted
