When the kids got back to their campsite they found it empty and went in
and turned the TV on again. They didn’t have a long wait before the adults
arrived and, as they didn’t offer the kids any explanation as to where they
had been, the kids didn’t ask for one because they didn’t want to be asked
what they’d been up to either.
That evening at supper Sarah told them all that she had talked with May’s
mother, Ruth, on the phone earlier that day and that she would be arriving
the next day, probably sometime after lunch. After supper they all went to
the swimming pool again, the cool water feeling so pleasant as the children
splashed and played together until being joined by Bunny soon after getting
into the water.
