Oswald won the Latin prize at his preparatory school - and Dicky is good at sums. Alice and Noel are twins: they are ten, and Horace Octavius is my youngest brother.

It was Oswald who first thought of looking for treasure. Oswald often thinks of very interesting things. And directly he thought of it he did not keep it to himself, as some boys would have done, but he told the others, and said -
