No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
It's the holidays again, and once more the children are off to stay
with Miss Pepper while Mr and Mrs Lynton set off to America for a few
weeks. They've timed their own holiday just right so they won't have to
spend time with their pesky son Roger, and their irritating daughter
Diana, and their dreaded nephew Snubbyor at least that's how it seems
to this reader, who finds it hard to imagine why parents should want to
go off somewhere just when their children arrive home from boarding
school. How inconsiderate! But away to America they go, leaving the
children once more in the capable hands of Miss Pepper, who is to take
them all off to Rubadub, a delightful place she frequented in her
younger days.
Rubadub is truly an exciting place for the children, an
old-fashioned seaside village with a pier, a promenade, a sandy beach...
and a Secret Harbour where new submarines are tried and tested! Not
only that, but there's Rubadub Pool, a dangerous whirlpool nestled
between rocks that sucks everything down to its watery depths. And
there's a blowhole too, where water surges through an underground
passage and blows out the other side. It all sounds too exciting for
words!
