Chapter 20 A PECULIAR1 MESSAGE
Toby raced off to the horse-pond, very frightened. The pond was deep in the middle and Bennycouldn't swim. Dick and Julian went off hurriedly through the farm-gate up to Billycock Hill, callingas they went.
'Benny! Benny, where are you? Benny!'
They toiled2 up the steep, heathery slopes, looking for any sign of the small boy, but there was none.
They were both anxious, Benny was such a little wanderer, and his pig made such a good excuse forgoing3 long distances!
'Benny! BENNY!' they called, and sometimes the echo4 came back to them, calling the name, too.
'Perhaps he will be at the camp,' said Dick. 'I know he wanted to visit it. He may be there, the littlemonkey - with Curly5, too.'
'I hope so,' said Julian, soberly6. 'But it's a long way for his small legs to go. I don't see how he 80could possibly find the way without someone to guide him - he has never been there yet!'
'Well, may be the girls spotted7 him on their way up,' said Dick. 'My word - this is a day, isn't it? -nobody knows where Jeff and Ray are - and nobody knows where little Benny is either! I don't callthis a very good holiday!'
'Exciting - but decidedly worrying,' said Julian. 'Why do we always run into something like this?
We never seem to have a really peaceful time!'
Dick glanced sideways at Julian and gave a fleeting8 smile. 'Would you like a really peaceful time,Ju?' he said. 'I don't think you would! Come on - let's shout again!'
They came to the camp at last, not having seen a sign of Benny or the pigling. He was not at the campeither, that was quite clear. The girls and Timmy were alone.
They were horrified9 when they were told about Benny. Anne went pale. 'Let's go and look for him atonce,' she said. 'We must!'
