Good Old Secret Seven
Secret Seven Vol. 12
ONE
A meeting is called
ONE morning after school, Peter went to find his sister Janet.
'Hey, Janet!' he said. 'I'm calling a Secret Seven meeting for tomorrow morning.
Jack's uncle has given him a lovely present, and he wants all the Seven to share it.'
'What is it?' asked Janet. 'A game of some sort?'
'No. You'll have to wait and see,' said Peter. 'It's Jack's surprise, not mine. Will
you write out a few notes and tell the others to come — 10 o'clock sharp. Thank
goodness it's Saturday tomorrow.'
'Wuff,' said Scamper the spaniel. He loved Saturdays too. He knew he would have
Peter and Janet all day long then.
'Yes, you shall come to the meeting as well,' said Janet, patting his soft golden
coat. 'But do you know the password, Scamper?'
'Wuff-wuff!' said Scamper at once, and the children laughed.
'Quite right — the password is "wuff-wuff",' said Peter. 'What a good memory you
have, Scamper!'
Scamper wagged his tail, and said 'wuff-wuff' again. 'Better not say it too often,
Scamper,' said Janet. 'Or that awful Susie might hear you.'
Susie was Jack's sister, and not one of the Secret Seven, though she badly wanted
to belong. She loved to find out whatever password the Secret Seven were using, and
it really was quite difficult to stop her.
Janet scribbled four cards — one to Colin, one to George, one to Pam and one to
Barbara. 'There!' she said, 'I'll take them round on my bike. I don't need to write to
Jack, as he's asked for the meeting himself. Is he going to bring this present of his
tomorrow, whatever it is?'
'Yes,' said Peter. 'I'd better tidy up the shed where we meet — and I'll ask
Mother what she can spare for us to eat. I think Cookie is baking today, so I'll go and
tell her about the meeting, too!'
Next morning Janet and Peter went down to their shed at a quarter to ten,
carrying a good many things. 'I've tidied it up,' said Peter. 'Gardener had been in and
taken two of the big flower-pots we used as seats, but I found two boxes instead.'
The shed-door had on it the two big letters S.S., standing for Secret Seven. Janet
and Peter looked at them proudly.
'Secret Seven!' said Janet. 'Best club in the world! I shall enjoy a meeting again —
it's weeks since we had one — we've been so busy with school things.'
In they went, and shut the door. Now no one would be allowed in unless they gave
the password. Peter set down the things he was carrying, and looked round proudly.
'Didn't I clean the shed well?' he said. 'I even cleaned the windows. It's nice and
warm too, isn't it?'
The shed backed on to the hot greenhouse....
