´so there you are` said aunt mary.
´am I late ´ said minty. “sorry.”
“i wondered where you were” said aunt mary. She and miss raven had already started breakfast.
“perhaps you`ve been out alll night”, miss raven then after moment added, “have you?”
“no!” said minty. I just got up early.
She escaped to her room after breakfast to tell her most recent adventure to the cassette for her mother.
When she came down, miss raven had gone to the house - to investigate, aunt mary said. Minty went tp see world, and found him sitting in the doorway of his lodge.
How's your mother?'he asked her
Oh , she getting better, thank you, said minty. But ... but invisibly. She went on quickly, i wanted to ask you, do you know anything about that moon - sundial?
The one with the man and the boy.
Chronos and eros, said world. That's their greek names. Chronos is time.
Time! Said minty, suddenly excited.
Yes. And eros - the small boy with the wings - he's love.
Of course! Said minty
And love will win its fight with time and the battle to make tom and sarah free, she thought .
World looked at her. Those children .... he said quietly.
They are in trouble. I can still hear them crying.
I know, minty said. But not for much longer, i promise.
Mr benson phoned, aunt mary told her when she got back. He says he'll come for you at two o'clock.
Later, when minty heard mr benson's car, she pushed the cassette into her pocket and ran outside.
Is mum...? began minty.
