The snow melted two days later, and the police took away Mr. Roland and the others. The children watched them go.
‘No more lessons these holls!’ said Anne gleefully.
‘No more shutting Timothy out of the house,’ said George.
‘You were right and we were wrong, George,’ said
Julian. ‘You were fierce, weren’t you -,but it’s a jolly good thing you were!’
‘She is fierce, isn’t she?’ said Dick, giving the girl a sudden hug. ‘But I rather like her when she’s fierce, don’t you, Julian ? Oh George, we do have marvellous adventures with you! I wonder if we’ll have any more?’
They will – there isn’t a doubt of that!
