"Did what, Master Robert?"
"Got us the Slowcoach; because the address wasn't Mrs. Avory at all; it was Mrs. Amory."
"Oh, I don't take much count about m's or v's," said Kink. "It began with a big 'A,' and it ended in 'ory,' and that was good enough for me."
"Kink," said Janet, "you're a dear. You've given us the most beautiful holiday."
Hester suddenly turned pale. "Mother!" she exclaimed, "what about the twenty-five sovereigns?"
"Yes," said Robert, "that's awful!"
"It is rather bad," said Mrs. Avory, "because, of course, it will have to be given back, and at once too, and I'm not at all rich just now. I'm not even sure that we have any right to go to Sea View, and the twenty-five pounds will just spoil everything."
"Why should we give it back?" said Gregory.
"Because it's not ours," said Mrs. Avory. "There's no question at all."
"I think Kinky ought to pay it," said Gregory. "He's got heaps of money in the Post-Office, and it's his fault, too."
