"It must have been some rowdies from Rowington," said the squire in the loud tone of a man trying to persuade his hearers that he believed what he said. Erebus rose and walked to the gravel path; their eyes fixed in an incredulous unwinking stare. She picked up three pebbles from the path, choosing them with some care.
The next afternoon the Twins rode into Rowington and bought a pound of raisins at the leading grocer's. They might well have bought them at Little Deeping, encouraging local enterprise; but they thought Rowington safer. They always took every possible precaution at the beginning of an enterprise. They did not ride straight home. Three miles out of Rowington was a small clump of trees on a hill.
I bought cats all over London they've been with me ever since yowling they yowled in the taxi all over London they traveled down as far as Rowington with me and an old gentleman a high-spirited old gentleman yowling not only the cats but the old gentleman, too -and they traveled from Rowington to Little Deeping with me and two maiden ladies timid maiden ladies! yowling!
They put the sleepy kittens back in their hutches, and walked back to the house, pondering. The Terror collected the books for his morning's work slowly, still thoughtful.

He looked at Miss Lambart very unamiably. He felt that she was not impressed by him as were the maidens of Cassel-Nassau; and he resented it. He resolved to capture the princess at any cost. The archduke fumed furiously to find, next morning in the Morning Post the true story of his daughter's disappearance; and he was fuming still when the car came from Rowington.
"They came to tea yesterday and talked about it. I was there: there was a plum cake one of those rich ones from Springer's at Rowington. And they said it would be such a good thing for both of you because he's so awfully rich: the Terror would go to Eton; and you'd go to a good school and get a proper bringing-up and grow up a lady, after all " "I wouldn't go! I should hate it!" cried Erebus.
"Oh, yes: Lady Rowington I would wish an English title," said the princess readily. "If we could only think of some way of making them think that she'd been stolen by gipsies, it would be safer still," said Erebus. "Gipsies don't steal children nowadays," said the Terror; and he paused considering. Then he added, "I tell you what though: Nihilists would at least they'd steal a princess.
