JULIAN, DICK and ANNE arrive at Kimn for the Easter holidays to find that the absent-minded QUENTIN had forgotten when they were coming - he's in the middle of some important work and doesn't want children bothering him. It is therefore agreed that the Five will go off on a cycling holiday instead.
On the first night they pitch camp next to a pretty little pool. The following morning GEORGE is tired from the days' riding and stays in bed while ANNE prepares breakfast and the two boys go for a swim.
