Part 6 some peculiar finds the words to be introduced before listening to point two A holly tree.0:06
Holly astralist A mark Zes sled at Mietka A footprint at Pichatak Slidov heels.0:16
Azadachianli what could have made these marks?0:30
Stomagloa stavitetis lidi as if someone had been stabbing the ground with the tip of a broom handle.0:34
AA BR the seven made their way to Little Thicket, where they had played their game of Red Indians the day before.0:48
Now where exactly did you say that the man climbed over?1:01
Colin thought a little.1:08
Then he pointed to a holly tree.1:11
Well, he came over the wall between that tree and the little oak.1:17
I'm pretty certain that was exactly the place.1:22
Come on, then, we'll go and see, said Peter, feeling really rather important.1:27
The seven walked across Little Thicket and came to the place between the holly tree and the little oak.1:34
They stood and looked up at the wall.1:41
It was at least 10 or 11ft high.1:45
How could anyone climb a high wall like that without even a ladder?1:49
Look, that's where he got down, said Pam suddenly, and she pointed to a deep mark in the ground near the holly tree.1:56
They all looked yes, that must be the place where his feet landed, said George.2:06
Pity we can't tell anything from the mark.2:15
I mean, there are no footprints, for instance.2:17
They could help a lot.2:21
But it's only just a deep mark, probably made by his heels.2:22
I would like to get to the other side of the wall, said Peter suddenly.2:30
We can perhaps find a footprint or two there.2:34
Let's go and ask the gardener if we can go into the grounds.2:38
He's a friend of our cow and he knows me.2:42
Good idea, said George.2:47
So off they all went again.2:49
The gardener was working inside the front garden, beyond the great iron gates.2:52
The children called to him and he looked up.2:58
Johns shouted, peter, could we come in and look around about that thief?3:03
You know, we saw him climb over the wall, and the inspector of police has asked us to keep our eyes open, so we're looking round.3:09
Well, if I come with you, I don't think you can do much harm, he said.3:23
Beats me how that thief climbed those walls.3:29
I was working here in the front garden all yesterday afternoon.3:32
I didn't see him at the gates.3:36
The seven children went round the walls with Johns.3:40
Colin saw the top of the holly tree and the top of the little nearby oak above the wall.3:45
This is where he climbed up, he said.3:53
Now let's look for footprints.3:56
There were certainly marks in the earth, but no footprints.3:59
The seven bent over the marks.4:04
Quite round and regular and about 3 inches across, as if someone had been pushing a broom handle into the ground.4:11
What could have made these marks, Johns?4:21
Beats me, said Johns, also puzzled.4:24
Maybe the police will make something of them now they know you saw the thief climb over the wall.4:28
Everyone studied the round, regular marks again.4:36
There seemed no rhyme or reason for them at all.4:40
They looked for all the world as if someone had been stabbing the ground with the tip of a broom handle or something.4:44
And why should anybody do that?4:52
And anyway, if they did, how would it help them to climb over a wall?4:55
There's been no ladder used.5:02
That I can say, said Johns.5:04
All my ladders are locked up in a shed and there they all are still, and the keys in my pocket.5:07
How that fellow climbed this wall, I can't think.5:15
He must be an acrobat, that's all, said Janet, looking up to the top of the wall.5:20
Then she saw something and pointed to it in excitement.5:26
Look, what's that on that sharp bit of brick there, halfway up?5:32
It looks like a bit of wall, said Pam at last.5:41
Perhaps when the thief climbed up, that sharp bit caught his clothes and a bit of wool was pulled out.5:46
Help me up, George, ordered Peter.5:55
Get might be a very valuable clue.5:58
George helped him up and Peter got that piece of wool.6:03
He got it and George let him down to the ground again.6:08
They all gathered round to look at was really rather ordinary, just a bit of blue wool thread with a tiny red strand in it.6:13
Everyone looked at it with excitement.6:25
Well, said Janet at last, we can all look out for somebody wearing a blue wool pullover with a tiny thread of red in it.6:28
And then they found something else, something much more exciting.6:40
