"Good idea!" said the others, pleased. "After all, we can't post a letter without a stamp - but we can deliver it by hand." They looked at the address.
Mr. H. Peeks. Ivy Cottage.

"We'll go on our bikes," said Larry. "Come on - we must tell the others!"
Interviewing Mr. Horace Peeks.
The three of them went back to Fatty and Bets. Buster greeted them uproariously.
"Hallo," said Fatty, "how did you get on?"
"Awfully badly at first," said Larry, "and then, right at the end, we had a slice of good luck."
He told Bets and Fatty about the afternoon and they listened with the greatest interest. They all examined Peek's address, and were thrilled.
