Chapter 19 THE MOST EXCITING ADVENTURE WE'VE EVER HAD!
After all the excitement of the afternoon the children felt lazy. The twins went off to feed thechickens. 'Better late than never!' they said, together.
'Where are Mr. Henning and Mr. Durleston and that awful Junior, Mrs. Philpot?' asked George,getting up to help with the washing of the tea-things.
'Oh, Mr. Henning came in to say he and Mr. Durleston were going to a meal at a hotel, and takingJunior too,' said Mrs. Philpot. 'He seemed very pleased with himself indeed. He said that they hadbroken through to the cellars of the old castle, and expected great things - and that maybe a secondcheque of ?250 would be coming soon!'
'You won't take it, though, will you, Mrs. Philpot?' said Julian quickly, overhearing what was beingsaid. 'The things down in that cellar will be worth much more than any money Mr.
Henning is likely to offer you. He'd only take them to America and sell them for vast sums and makea huge profit. Why should you let him do that?'
'That nice old man, Mr. Finniston, down in the little antique shop, would know what everything wasworth,' said George. 'And he's a descendant of the long-ago Finnistons of Finniston Castle, isn't he -he'll be thrilled to bits, when he hears what's been happening!'
81
'We'll send word for him to come up tomorrow,' decided1 Mrs. Philpot. 'After all, Mr. Henning has hisadviser - that surly Mr. Durleston. We'll have Mr. Finniston for ours. Great-Grand-dad would bepleased about that - they're great friends, those two.'
There was however, no need to send for Mr. Finniston, for Great-Grand-dad had himself gone downstraight away to tell the great news to his old crony. What a talk they had together!
'Gold coins - jewellery - suits of armour3 - swords - and goodness knows what else!' said Great-Grand-dad for the twentieth time, and old Mr. Finniston listened gravely, nodding his head. 'That splendidbig sword!' went on Grand-dad, remembering. 'Just right for me, William! Look, if ever I've livedbefore, that old sword once belonged to me! I feel it! That's one thing I won't sell, mind! I'll keep itjust for the sake of swinging it round my head, when I lose my temper!'
'Yes, yes - but I hope you'll be sure to stand in the middle of an empty room if you do that,' said Mr.
Finniston, a little alarmed at the fierce look in the old man's eye. 'You won't be allowed to keep all themoney, I'm afraid - there's such a thing as 'Treasure Trove4', you know - some finds go to the Crown,and I fear that will be one of them. But the jewellery's different - and the suits of armour - and theswords! You'll be able to make a mint of money on those!'
