Chapter Nine AN EXCITING NIGHT
　　THERE was a silence, except for the waves splashing round the boat. Then George's voice came outof the darkness, lifted joyfully1.
　　"Oh Julian - do you really mean it? Will you really come with me? I was afraid I'd get into trouble fordoing this, because Father said I must stay at Kirrin Cottage till he came back - and you know how hehates disobedience. But I knew if I stayed there, you would too - and I didn't want you to bemiserable with those horrid2 Sticks - so I thought I'd come away. I didn't think you'd come too,because of getting into trouble! I never even thought of asking you.""You're a very stupid person sometimes, aren't you, George?" said Julian. "As if we'd care aboutgetting into trouble, so long as we were all together, sticking by one another! Of course we'll comewith you - and I'll take all the responsibility for this escape, and tell your father it's my fault.""Oh no you won't," said George, quickly. "I shall say it was my idea. If I do wrong, I'm not afraid toown up to it. You know that."
　　"Well, we won't argue that now," said Julian. "We shall have at least a week or ten days on KirrinIsland to do all the arguing we want to. The thing is - let's get back now, wake up the others for a bit,and have a nice quiet talk in the dead of night about this plan of yours. I must say it's a very, verygood idea!"
　　George was overjoyed. "I feel as if I could hug you, Julian," she said. "Where are the oars3? Oh, herethey are! The boat's floated quite a long way out."She rowed strongly back to the shore. Julian jumped out and pulled the boat up the beach, withGeorge's help. He shone his torch into the boat and gave an exclamation4.
　　"You've quite a nice little store of things here," he said. "Bread and ham and butter and stuff.
　　How did you manage to get them without old Mr. Stick seeing you tonight? I suppose you slippeddown and got them out of the larder5?" "
　　"Yes, I did," said George. "But there was no one in the kitchen tonight. Perhaps Mr. Stick has gone tosleep upstairs. Or maybe he has gone back to his ship. Anyway, there was no one there when I creptdown, not even Stinker."
