Jay hadn’t thought of that.

               “You don’t think they’ll come looking for us,

            do you?” he said.

               “I don’t know. They went to a lot of trouble

            to get Flick back didn’t they?” Abby answered.

               Flick had bounced off to help Lewis pack up

            the food supplies. She managed to drop a tin

            of biscuits in the dirt. Binny tried hard not to

            sound cross.

               Jay and Abby grinned at each other.

               “You don’t think they’re regretting it do

            you?” Abby said.

               Five minutes later everyone was packed up

            and ready to leave. They all gathered around

            Ella. She looked taller, more confident, Jay

            thought.

               “Is everyone ready?” she asked.

               The Pioneers nodded or answered “yes”.
