Part three A shock for Carlin the words to be introduced before listening completely to Fancy Pritz Davitsibe to be frightened0:11
trucks sliddy in despair Vaccini by the time Peter had stood up to see where the horrified man had gone, he had completely disappeared.0:27
There wasn't a sign of him anywhere.0:41
I am no good as a Red Indian, said Peter.0:45
Can't even stalk somebody right under my nose.0:49
Where in the world has the fellow gone?0:53
He began to hunt here and there and soon the others, seeing him standing up, knew that something had happened.0:57
Why are you showing yourself?1:10
There was a man hiding under one of the bushes, said Peter.1:13
But he got up and ran away.1:19
Anyone see where he went?1:23
No one had seen him at all.1:25
They came up to Peter.1:29
Seven of us crawling hidden in this field and not one saw the man run off, said Pam.1:32
We haven't even seen Colin.1:40
The game's finished for this afternoon, said Peter.1:43
He didn't want the girls to come suddenly on the man in hiding.1:47
He thought they would be frightene.1:51
So they shouted for him.1:57
Colin, come out wherever you are.1:58
They waited for him suddenly to stand up and appear.2:04
There was no answer to their call and no Colin suddenly appeared.2:11
Colin shouted everyone come out.2:17
Still he didn't come.2:21
He didn't even shout back.2:23
Colin was where he had been all the time, hidden up in his tree.2:35
Why didn't he shout back?2:43
Why didn't he go down the tree and run over to the others, pleased that he hadn't been caught?2:45
He didn't show himself for a very good reason.2:52
He was much too frightened to.2:56
He had had a shock when he saw the man jump down from the wall and run to the thicket and hide.2:59
And he had an even greater shock when he saw him suddenly appear from a nearby bush and run to the foot of the tree that he himself was was hiding in.3:05
Then he heard the sounds of someone climbing up.3:18
It was the man climbing the very tree that Colin himself had chosen for a hiding place.3:22
Colin's heart beat fast.3:30
He didn't like this at all.3:33
The man was climbing up.3:37
But when he was almost up to the branch on which Colin sat, he stopped.3:40
The branch wasn't strong enough to hold a man, though it was quite strong enough for a boy.3:46
The man was just below Colin.3:53
He was Breathing hard, but trying to keep his breathing as quiet as possible.3:56
Peter was not so very far away and might hear it.4:03
Colin sat as if he was turned to stone.4:09
Why had he come over the wall?4:15
Why had he hidden in Little Thicket?4:17
And now here he was, up in Colin's tree.4:20
And at any moment he might look up and see Colin.4:25
It was very unpleasant indeed.4:28
Then Colin heard the others shouting for him.4:32
Colin, come out wherever you are.4:35
But poor Colin couldn't come out and certainly he couldn't shout back.4:41
He was afraid to breathe and hoped that he wouldn't have to sneeze or cough.4:46
He sat there as still as a mouse, waiting to see what would happen.4:52
The man also sat there, as still as a mouse, watching the six children below, looking at them through the leaves of the tree.4:58
Colin knew they had not brought old Scamper with them, and he was sorry.5:09
Scamper could find the man's tracks, but Scamper had been left behind.5:15
He always got much too excited when they were playing Red Indians and by his barking gave away where everyone was hiding.5:21
After the others had hunted for Colin and called him, they began to walk off.5:29
I think he has gone home, said Peter.5:36
We can't find that man, and I don't know that I want to either.5:42
He looked a nasty bit of work to me.5:46
In despair, Colin watched them leave Little Thicket and disappear down the field path.5:51
The man saw them go, too.5:58
He gave a little sigh and got down the tree.6:01
Colin couldn't see much of him except the top of his head and his ears.6:05
He could still see nothing of the man as he made his way cautiously out of the thicket.6:11
He was a far, far better Red Indian than any of the Secret Seven, that was certain.6:16
And now was it safe for Colin to get down?6:24
He certainly couldn't stay up in the tree all night.6:28
