　　Chapter 10 OWL1'S DENE ON OWL'S HILL
　　Off they went again, cycling fast in the brilliant moonlight. Even when the moon went behind a cloudit was still light enough to ride without lights. They rode for what seemed like miles, and then cameto a steep hill.
　　'Is this Owl's Hill?' said Anne, as they dismounted to walk up it. It was too steep to ride.
　　'Yes,' said Julian. 'At least, I think so - unless we've come quite wrong. But I don't think we have.
　　Now the thing is - shall we find Owl's Dene at the top or not? And how shall we know it is Owl'sDene!'
　　'We could ring the bell and ask,' said Anne.
　　Julian laughed. That was so like Anne. 'Maybe we'll have to do that!' he said. 'But we'll scout2 round abit first.'
　　They pushed their bicycles up the steep road. Hedges bordered each side, and fields lay beyond.
　　There were no animals in them that the children could see - no horses, sheep or cows.
　　'Look!' said Anne, suddenly. 'I can see a building - at least, I'm sure I can see chimneys!'
　　They looked where she pointed3. Yes - certainly they were chimneys - tall, brick chimneys that lookedold.
　　'Looks like an Elizabethan mansion4, with chimneys like that,' said Julian. He paused and took a goodlook. 'It must be a big place. We ought to come to a drive or something soon.'
　　They pushed on with their bicycles. Gradually the house came into view. It was more like a mansion,and in the moonlight it looked old, rather grand and very beautiful.
　　41
　　'There are the gates,' said Julian, thankfully. He was tired of pushing his bicycle up the hill.
　　'They're shut. Hope they're not locked!'
　　As they drew near to the great, wrought-iron gates, they slowly opened. The children paused insurprise. Why were they opening? Not for them, that was certain!
　　Then they heard the sound of a car in the distance. Of course, that was what the gates were openingfor. The car, however, was not coming up the hill - it was coming down the drive on the other side ofthe gates.
　　'Get out of sight, quickly,' said Julian. 'We don't want to be seen yet.'
　　They crouched5 down in the ditch with their bicycles as a car came slowly out of the open gates.
