The Castle of Adventure
Enid Blyton
Description
Two girls sat on a window-seat in their school study. One had red wavy hair, and so many freckles that it was impossible to count them. The other had dark hair that stuck up in front in an amusing tuft.“One more day and then the hols begin,” said red-haired Lucy-Ann, looking at Dinah out of curious green eyes. “I’m longing to see Jack again. A whole term is an awfully long time to be away from him.”“Well, I don’t mind being away from my brother!” said Dinah, with a laugh. “Philip’s not bad, but he does make me wild, always bringing in those awful animals and insects of his.”“It’s a good thing there’s only one day between our breaking-up days,” said Lucy-Ann. “We shall be home first—and we can have a look round, and then the next day we shall meet the boys—hurrah!”
