　　Chapter 6 ODD HAPPENINGS
　　They all thought it really was a little odd to disappear so suddenly like that, with just a casual good-bye. Julian wondered if he ought to have gone with him and delivered him safely on the door-step.
　　'Don't be an ass1, Julian,' said Dick, scornfully. 'What do you think can happen to him from the frontgate to the front door!'
　　'Nothing, of course. It's just that I don't trust that young fellow,' said Julian. 'You know I really wasn'tsure he had asked his mother if he could come with us, to tell you the truth.'
　　'I thought that too,' said Anne. 'He did get to Croker's Corner so very quickly, didn't he? - and he hadquite a long way to go really, and he had to find his mother, and talk to her, and all that.'

　　'Yes. I've half a mind to pop up to the aunt's house and see if she expected him,' said Julian. But onsecond thoughts he didn't go. He would feel so silly if the aunt was there with Richard, and all waswell - they would think that he and the others ought to be asked in.
　　So, after debating the matter for a few minutes they all rode off again. They wanted to get toMiddlecombe Woods fairly soon, because there were no villages between Great Giddings andMiddlecombe, so they would have to find the woods and then go on to find a farm-house somewhereto buy food for supper and breakfast. They hadn't been able to buy any in the shops at Great Giddingsbecause it was early closing day, and they hadn't liked to ask the tea-shop woman to sell themanything. They felt they had taken quite enough of her food already!
　　They came to Middlecombe Woods, and found a very fine place to camp in for the night. It was in alittle dell, set with primroses2 and violets, a perfectly3 hidden place, secure from all prying4 eyes, andsurely unknown even to tramps.
　　'This is glorious,' said Anne. 'We must be miles away from anywhere: I hope we can find some farm-house or something that will sell us food, though! I know we don't feel hungry now, but we shall!'
　　'I think I've got a puncture5, blow it,' said Dick, looking at his back tyre. 'It's a slow one, fortunately.
　　But I think I won't risk coming along to look for
