Chapter One - SUMMARY A GREAT SURPRISE
By Yudhis



It was the chatting between Mother, Daddy and their three children: Dick, Anne and Julian during breakfast. They talked about their planned summer holiday. The children asked if this year’s holiday, they could go to Polseath. But, the parents said “No.” This time Mother and Daddy could not spend their holiday with the kids. Daddy and Mother planned to go to Scotland. Besides, the kids are now big enough to take care of themselves. Daddy had an idea of sending them to their uncles’ family, Daddy’s brother, Quentin. The mother was surprised to hear Daddy’s idea. The children had only seen him once and had been rather frightened of him. Quentin was a very tall, frowning man, a clever scientist who spent all his time studying. He lived by the sea-called Kirrin Bay. That was about all that the children knew of him. His wife is Fanny, a very nice lady. She could look after the children. They have a daughter, Georgiana, 11 years old, the same age as Dick. They live in a nice house called Kirrin Cottage. Finally on the sunny day on Tuesday, the family all went up to Kirrin Bay to take their children to spend their vacation. On the way, the children were very happy. They sang songs and enjoyed their sandwiches until finally they arrived at Kirrin Bay.
