Five Go to Smuggler's Top

by Enid Blyton

  'So am I,' said Marybelle. 'I don't like Smuggler's Top - it's so queer and secret and lonely!'

  'Well, if it will make you all happy to leave it, I'm glad,' said Julian. 'But I like it! I think it's a lovely place, set on a hill-top like this, with mists at its foot, and secret ways all about it. I'll be sorry never to come here again, if you leave.'

  'So will I,' said Dick, and Anne and George nodded.

  'It's an adventurous place!' said George, patting Timmy. 'Isn't it, Timmy? Do you like it, Timmy? Have you enjoyed your adventure here?'

  'Woof!' said Timmy, and thumped his tail on the floor. Of course he had enjoyed himself. He always did, so long as George was anywhere about.

  'Well - now perhaps we'll have a nice peaceful time!' said Marybelle. 'I don't want any more adventures.'

  'Ah, but we do!' said the others. So no doubt they will get them. Adventures always come to the adventurous, there's no doubt about that!
