"I know we did."
"Whom do you want to bring here?" enquired Claudia suspiciously.
"Oh, nobody in particular. Only Madame Bertier was asking me one day if there were any caves along the coast. I thought she'd like to see this one."
"You're not to bring that Russian woman here! I don't like her. I hope you did not tell her about it?"
"Of course not!"
"Honest Injun?"
"Crystal clear I didn't!"
"It's our secret, and nobody is to know," said Claudia, still ruffled. "Let us all take a sort of oath!"
"Right oh! I shan't break it!" agreed Lorraine emphatically.
"Will you swear, Morland?" urged Claudia.
