Well, well, well – I wonder what he knows about it!»
    The children could hardly wait to hear the end of the adventure. They heard about it at the very next meeting of the Secret Seven – which was called, not by the members themselves, but by Peter's father and mother.
    It was held in the shed, and the two grown-ups had the biggest boxes as seats. Janet and Peter sat on the floor.
    «Well», said Peter's father. «Mr. Holikoff is the owner of the horse-box – and of the car as well. The police waited in the old house for the two men last night – and they came! They are now safely under lock and key. They were so surprised when they found Kerry Blue gone that they hardly made a struggle at all!»
    «Who does Kerry Blue belong to, Daddy?» said Peter. «The papers said he was owned by Colonel James Healey. Is he sending someone to fetch him?»
    «Yes», said his father. «He's sending off a horse-box for him today. And he has also sent something for the Secret Seven. Perhaps you'd like to see what it is, Peter.»
    Peter took an envelope from his father and opened it. On the envelope was written, “For the Secret Seven Society, with my thanks and best wishes, J.H.” Out fell a shower of tickets. Janet grabbed one.
    «Oooh – a circus ticket – and a pantomime ticket too! Are there seven of each?»
    There were! Two lovely treats for everyone – except Scamper.
    «But he can have a great big delumptious, scrumplicious bone, can't he, Mummy?» cried Janet, hugging him.
    «Whatever are you talking about? Is that some foreign language?» asked her mother in astonishment, and everyone laughed.
    «How awfully decent of him», said Peter. «We didn't want any reward at all. The adventure was enough reward – it was super!»
    «Well, we'll leave you to talk about it», said his mother, getting up. «Or else we shall find that we belong to your Society too, and that it's the Secret Nine, instead of the Secret Seven!»
    «No – it's the Secret Seven», said Peter, firmly. «The best Society in the world. Hurrah for the Secret Seven!»
