But you must do 'what I tell you. When you get inside do not look behind. If you do, you will spoil everything.”
Poor Richard and Gwen! They had been caught very sadly this time. The old gnome must have known what they were after in his domain, for no sooner had they got inside than the door was slammed behind them, and they found themselves prisoners. “Goodness!” cried Gwen. “We’ve been trapped.” “I was afraid something like this was going to happen,” said Richard. “Now we. are in a fix, if you like.”
