THE SECRET SEVEN MYSTERY .
The meeting starts off with fresh baked ginger biscuits , and the
Seven discuss the information they have gathered from news sources. She loves
horses. They also find out that she was wearing her school uniform and did not
take any clothes with her. They draw up a plan of action to explore all the
places in Belling where they might hide themselves and set off after a division
of labor Peter and Jack decide to visit the grandmother . .
Peter and Jack find out that Mrs. Sonning is unwell, but they meet her companion,
Mrs. Wardle, who has some information for them. She tells them that
someone has been coming into the house at night and taking rugs and food Pam
and Barbara are exploring the woods and fields. They come across a locked farm
shed and an empty caravan, but both are dead ends. George and Janet go round
the stables inquiring if any new stable girls had been employed or come round.
They don't find any new stable girls, but a new stable boy—Tom—at Warner
Stables informs Janet that he saw a girl matching Elizabeth's description
in Gordon He also says that the girl told him she was heading to
France to visit her brother! The Seven discuss the conflicting reports, one
from Peter and Jack and the other from George and Janet. Assuming both are true,
the Seven think that Elizabeth must have come to her grandmother's place to get
enough money for her journey to France.No Secret Seven story is complete without Susie, and she jumps on the
mystery when she finds Jack's newspaper cuttings. The Seven have her on their
tail constantly as she tries to find the girl herself. Peter and Jack take more
jumble to Mrs. Sonning, where Mrs. Wardle tells them food is still disappearing
every night, even when all windows and doors are fastened. The Seven think
it could be Elizabeth, and they pedal rapidly after her. On the way, they find
a handkerchief with an E on it by a stile. They continue the pursuit, but the
girl disappears around a bend. They find a ruined house at the bend with a
suitcase in it, but there is no sign of the girl. The suitcase has E.M.W.S.
emblazoned on it and contains successively smaller boxes labeled 'THE MONEY'.
Eagerly, the Seven open the boxes hoping to find the money Elizabeth stole.
Instead, the smallest box has a card with the message 'Lots and Lots of Love
from Susie'. That night, Peter, Jack, Colin, George, Tom and two policemen keep
watch over Mrs. Sonning's house, but Elizabeth still manages to steal some food
from the larder under their very noses. When Peter presses him further, he says he doesn't know where Elizabeth
might possibly be and rides off on his horse. The Seven are puzzled, but Peter
seemingly goes mad and dashes after Tom, telling him to stop and that no one
knows better where Elizabeth is!
