'Now we're on our own road.' said Percy, 'on a piece of land that nobody knows about. My grandfather paid a lot of money to make sure it's not on any maps. There's only one thing we're afraid of only one thing that could find us out.'
'What's that?'
'Aeroplanes. We're got six anti-aircraft guns to take care of them. but there have been a few deaths and a lot of prisoners. Father and I don't mind that , of course but it upsets Mother and the girls.'
Suddenly they saw a beautiful chateau in of them. Moonlight fell on its lake, and there was soft music in the air. The car stopped at the great front door , and Percy said,'We're home.'
