“For heaven’s sake!” Bunty exclaimed. “You’ll only get lost, and you’ll be in there for hours.”
“Oh, no,” Pete said quickly. “It’s really quite easy. All you have to do is to keep moving to the left and you come out in about ten minutes. Will you come?”
Frances nodded.
“All right.”
She wasn’t particularly keen, but Pete had fallen in so readily with all her suggestions that she felt it was only fair to fall in with his now.
“Well, please yourself. If you’re not out in half an hour we won’t wait for you,” Bunty warned. “Come on, Buster. Let’s go.”
As the two pushed their way slowly through the endless stream of people, Pete again looked in Moe’s direction. There was an intent expression on Moe’s face as he watched Bunty and Buster disappear into the crowd.
Pete turned quickly to Frances.
“Shall we go?” he said. “It’ll be amusing, and we won’t be long.”
She moved along with him, her hand on his arm towards the entrance to the maze.
