it was really Scamper, the spaniel, who found the biggest clue of all.1:01
He was with them, of course, very interested in the curious round marks.1:07
Then he suddenly began to bark loudly.1:13
Everyone looked at him.1:17
Scamper went on barking.1:22
The three girls felt a bit frightened.1:25
They looked around, half afraid that there might be somebody hidden in the bushes.1:27
Scamper had his head up and was barking quite loudly.1:34
Tell us what you're barking at, Scamper.1:41
He gave Peter a reproachful look and then gazed up above the children's heads.1:48
He began to bark again.1:54
Everyone looked up to see what in the world the spaniel was barking at.1:58
And there, caught neatly on the twig of a tree, was a cap.2:04
Said Peter, much surprised.2:12
Could it belong to the thief?2:16
Well, if it does, why in the world did he throw his cap up there?2:20
Its not a thing that thieves usually do, throw their caps up into trees and leave them.2:27
The cap was far too high to reach.2:34
It was almost as high up as the top of the wall.2:38
Johns, the gardener, went to get a stick to get it down.2:43
I don't think that it really belongs to the thief, said George.2:48
Why should he be throwing his cap about like that, leaving such a very fine clue?2:53
No, you're right, I'm afraid, said Peter.3:00
It must be one that somebody else threw over the wall sometime or other.3:04
Johns came back with a bamboo stick.3:11
He got the cap off the tree and Scamper took on it at once.3:15
Drop it, Scamper, drop it.3:21
And Scamper dropped it, looking hurt.3:24
Hadn't he found the cap himself?3:27
Then why was he not allowed to throw it up into the air and catch it?3:30
The seven looked at the dirty old cap.3:36
It was made of tweed and used to be fashionable, but now it was so dirty that it was difficult even to see the colour.3:40
Janet looked at it in disgust.3:49
I'M sure that some tramp had finished with it and threw it over the wall.3:54
And it just got there on that tree branch.3:58
I'm sure it isn't a clue at all.4:01
I think you're right, said Colin, taking the cap in his hands.4:05
You thought you had found a big clue.4:13
He wanted to throw the cap up over the wall, but Peter stopped him.4:17
You simply never know.4:26
We can throw away something that might prove to be a clue of some kind.4:28
Though I do agree with you, it probably isn't.4:32
Colin gave it to Peter.4:37
No wonder somebody threw it away.4:40
It smells like anything.4:43
Peter put it in his pocket.4:46
Then he took the tiny piece of blue wool thread and put that carefully into the pages of his notebook.4:49
He looked down at the ground where the curious marks were.4:58
I almost think we'd better make a note of these too, he said.5:03
Got a measure, Janet?5:09
She hadn't, of course, but George had some string and he carefully measured across the round marks.5:11
That's the size of the marks, he said, and gave his bit of string to Peter.5:20
It went carefully into his notebook, too.5:26
I can't help thinking those funny marks all over the place are some kind of clue, he said, putting his notebook away.5:31
I simply can't imagine.5:40
They said goodbye to Johns and made their way home across the fields.5:43
Nobody could make much of the clues.5:49
Peter did hope the adventure wasn't going to fizzle out after all.5:52
I still say that only an acrobat could have got over that high wall, said Janet.5:56
I don't see how any ordinary person could have done it.6:02
Just as she said this, they came out into the square.6:07
A big poster had been put up on a wall nearby.6:11
The children glanced at it, and then Colin gave a shout that made them all jump.6:15
It's a poster advertising a circus.6:23
And see what it says.6:27
Lion tamers, horse riders, performing bears, clowns and acrobats.6:29
Supposing, just supposing, they all stared at one another in excitement.6:42
Janet might be right.6:50
This must be looked into at once.6:52
