Part 19 where are the pearls?0:10
The words to be introduced before listening.0:15
Reasoning prickly, unclimbable.0:18
To snoop, to suspect.0:29
To their amazement, bare legged obediently to bow Kleinitze.0:40
You want to know what he did with the stilts he used when he climbed up on the wall after he had stolen the pearls?0:56
Well, I don't really know, but if all my reasoning is right, he must have put them into a thick bush somewhere to hide them.1:05
Yes, of course, said Pam, but which bush?1:18
They all looked round at the bushes and trees nearby.1:24
A holly bush, said Colin, pointing over the wall, that's always so green and thick.1:29
And people don't go messing about with holly because it's too prick.1:37
Yes, that would certainly be the best, said Peter.1:43
He led the rest out of the manor grounds and round to the other side of the wall at top speed.1:51
They were soon finding out what a very prickly job bending back the branches of the thick holly tree could be.1:59
But what a reward they had there.2:08
Pushed right into the very thickest part were two long stilts.2:12
Colin pulled out one and Peter pulled out the other.2:19
You were right, Peter, said Janet.2:24
We've explained simply everything now.2:29
The old cap high up on a branch, the bit of wool, the peculiar round marks, how the thief climbed an unclimbable wall.2:32
Really, I think the Secret seven have been very, very clever.2:43
And so do I. Shouted another voice.2:48
And there, flushed and breathless, was their friend, the inspector of police, with Johns the gardener still a good 10 yards off.2:55
Hello, Said Peter, surprised.3:08
I say, did you hear that?3:11
Yes, said the inspector.3:13
Opened a gate to my car and told me he thought you had solved the mystery.3:17
Well, what's your explanation?3:23
You've certainly beaten the police this time.3:25
Ah, well, you see, we can go snooping about the circus without anyone suspecting us.3:32
But if you sent seven policemen to snoop around the circus field, you'd certainly be suspected of something.3:40
No doubt we should, agreed the inspector.3:48
He picked up the stilts and examined them.3:52
A very clever way of getting over an enormously high wall.3:56
I suppose you can't also tell me who the thief is, can you?4:03
Well, it's a stilt walker, of course, said Peter.4:09
And I think it's a fellow called Louis.4:14
If you go to the circus, you'll probably find him wearing blue socks with a little red thread running down each side.4:18
And he'll have black hair with a little round bare place at the top, said Colin.4:27
At least the thief I saw had a bare place there.4:33
What a lot you know, said the Inspector admiringly.4:41
You'll be telling me the colour of his pyjamas next.4:46
What about coming along to find him?4:50
Now, I've got a couple of men out in the car.4:52
Ooh, said Pam, imagining the secret seven appearing on the circus field with three big policemen.4:59
I say, won't the circus people be afraid when they see us?5:10
Only those who have reason to be afraid, said the inspector.5:15
I do want to see if this thief of yours has a bare place on the top of his head.5:21
Now, how do you know that, I wonder?5:28
They all arrived at the circus field at last.5:35
The police got there first, of course, as they went in their car, but they waited for the children to come through the gate.5:39
They all went, much to the amazement of the circus folk.5:48
There, there's Louis, said Peter, pointing out the young fellow over by the lion's cage.5:52
But he's got no socks on again.6:02
Well, look at the top of his head then, said Colin.6:06
Louis stood up as they came near.6:11
His eyes looked uneasily at the tall inspector.6:14
Inquired the Inspector, much to Louis's astonishment.6:22
Pull up your trousers.6:27
But as Peter had already seen, Louis was bare legged.6:30
Tell him to bend over, said Colin, which astonished Louis even more.6:36
Bend over, said the Inspector.6:43
And Louis obediently bent himself over as if he were bowing to everyone.6:46
Yes, that's him all right.6:55
See the bare round place at the top of his head?6:58
Just like I saw when I was up in the tree.7:01
Ah, good, said the Inspector.7:05
He turned to Louis again.7:09
And now, young fellow, I have one more thing to say to you.7:12
Where are the pearls?7:17
