The children laughed. "However was it that nobody noticed Larry's coat was a bit torn?" said Bets, astonished. "Well - to think of all the things we found out -and we didn't find that out!"

"Good-bye," said the Inspector, getting into his car. "Thanks for your help. It's a very satisfactory ending, as I'm sure you will agree with me!"

"Rather!" said every one. "Good-bye! It was a bit of luck meeting you!"

The car roared off up the lane. The children turned back into the garden.

"What an exciting week we've had," said Daisy. "I suppose now the Find-Outers must come to an end, because we've solved the mystery!"

"No," said Fatty. "We'll still be the Five Find-Outers and Dog, because you simply never know when another mystery will come along for us to solve. We'll just wait till it comes."

They are waiting - and one will come there's no doubt about that.

But, of course, that will be quite another story!
