Chapter 4 RICHARD
Anne was astonished to find three boys in the Green Pool instead of two. She stood by the water withher sponge and flannel1, staring. Who was the third boy?
The three came back to the side of the pool where Anne stood. She looked at the strange boy shyly.
He was not much older than she was, and not as big as Julian or Dick, but he was sturdily made, andhad laughing blue eyes she liked. He smoothed back his dripping hair.
'This your sister?' he said to Julian and Dick. 'Hallo there!'
'Hallo,' said Anne and smiled. 'What's your name?'
'Richard,' he said. 'Richard Kent. What's yours?'
'Anne,' said Anne. 'We're on a biking tour.'
The boys had had no time to introduce themselves. They were still panting from their swim.
'I'm Julian and he's Dick, my brother,' said Julian, out of breath. 'I say - I hope we're not trespassingon your land as well as on your water!'
Richard grinned. 'Well, you are as a matter of fact. But I give you free permission! You can borrowmy pool and my land as much as you like!'
'Oh thanks,' said Anne. 'I suppose it's your father's property? It didn't say "Private" or anything, so wedidn't know. Would you like to come and have breakfast with us? If you'll dress with the othersthey'll bring you to where we camped last night.'
She sponged her face and washed her hands in the pool, hearing the boys chattering2 behind thebushes where they had left their clothes. Then she sped back to their sleeping-place, meaning to tidyup the bags they had slept in, and put out breakfast neatly3. But George was still fast asleep in her bag,her head showing at the top with its mass of short curls that made her look like a boy.
'George! Do wake up. Somebody's coming to breakfast,' said Anne, shaking her.
George shrugged4 away crossly, not believing her. It was just a trick to make her get up and help withthe breakfast! Anne left her. All right - let her be found in her sleeping-bag if she liked!
She began to unpack5 the food and set it out neatly. What a good thing they had brought two extrabottles of lime-juice. Now they could offer Richard one.
