Example text
Who are you, young man? i'm jack trent, said jack, surprised that anyone could be so forgetful. you saw me and my sister lucy-ann the day we came here, sir. don't you remember? too many children in this house, said uncle jocelyn, in a grumbling tone. can't get any work done at all. oh, uncle you know we never disturb you, said dinah indignantly. uncle jocelyn was bending over a big and very old map. jack glanced at it. oh, he said, that's a map of part of this coast and that's the isle of gloom, isn't it, sir?
Philip's gone off somewhere as usual. he always disappears when there's any job to be done. jack took the heavy tray and followed dinah as she led the way to her uncle's study. she knocked on the door. a voice grunted, and dinah imagined it said come in. they went in, kiki on jack's shoulder as usual. your supper, uncle, said dinah. aunt polly's gone to bed. she's tired. poor polly, poor dear polly, said kiki, in a pitying tone. uncle jocelyn looked up, startled. he saw the parrot and picked up a paper-weight.
Asked dinah, with a laugh. no nobody at all, said philip. have a look through the glasses, dinah and then lucy-ann. i don't wonder it's called the isle of gloom. it certainly is a terribly gloomy-looking place nothing alive on it except the sea-birds. the girls had a turn of looking through the glasses too. they didn't like the look of the island at all. it was ugly and bare, and had an extraordinary air of forlornness about it. the sailing-boat went all round the island, keeping well outside the rocks that guarded it.
