‘And is there a document?’ asked Peter. ‘Or was it all for nothing?’
‘Aunt Jess said there wasn’t. If there is, I doubt if we’ll ever find it,’ said Jane.
‘And I would far rather Libby and Fran didn’t go looking for it,’ said Ben amid laughter.
‘I’ve still got the bruises,’ said Libby, ‘so I won’t be doing anything for a long, long time.’
‘We were lucky Ian turned up when he did,’ said Guy. ‘I hate to think what would have happened if he hadn’t.’
‘Once I’d told him about the
Ladana
and he realised where it had come from and who it belonged to he thought he’d better take a look,’ said Fran. ‘It was lucky he didn’t go on his own, though.’
‘So what are you going to be doing to keep out of mischief?’ Harry asked her.
‘I’m going to a creative writing class,’ said Fran. ‘I thought I might try to write a novel. Nothing much can happen to me there, can it?’
