Secret Seven Adventure

The Secret Seven Society was having its usual weekly meeting. Its meeting place was down in the old shed at the bottom of the garden belonging to Peter and Janet. On the door were the letters S.S. painted in green.

Peter and Janet were in the shed, waiting. Janet was squeezing lemons into a big jug, making lemonade for the meeting. On a plate lay seven ginger biscuits and one big dog biscuit.

That was for Scamper, their golden spaniel. He sat with his eyes on the plate, as if he was afraid his biscuit might jump off and disappear!‘Here come the others,’ said Peter, looking out of the window. ‘Yes—Colin—George—Barbara—Pam and Jack. And you and I make the Seven.’

‘Woof,’ said Scamper, feeling left out.

‘Sorry, Scamper,’ said Peter. ‘But you’re not a member—just a hanger-on—but a very nice one!’
