smile on his sleek face, as he watched. He was still smiling as he walked back to his van. Billy Bunter pedalled happily home. His bike ran quite well after Mr. Jervis's ministrations. He grinned as he pedalled. He was going to astonish some of the fellows. He was going to ask the Famous Five for the hols in his expensive caravan, and if that did not make them sit up and stare, nothing would! Only one little doubt lingered at the back of his fat mind. It seemed much too good to be true: such a spot of luck really did seem too amazing to be real. A handsome caravan, all expenses paid, with a man-servant thrown in to wait on him - actually, it did require some believing! However, Billy Bunter was the fellow to believe what he wanted to believe: he dismissed that lingering doubt, and it was a very cheery Owl who rolled into hall at Greyfriars for calling-over.
CHAPTER 8 A SURPRISE FOR THE STUDY 'I SAY, you fellows.' 'Scat!' 'About the hols——' 'Help!' Prep was over in the Remove studies. Harry Wharton and Co. had gathered in No. 1 Study to discuss a rather urgent topic before going down to the Rag. What they were going to do for the Easter holidays was not yet decided: except that, whatever they did, they were going to do it together. A camping trip was an attractive idea, and a caravan had been mooted. Whether the available cash would run to it was doubtful - or more than doubtful. Being, at the moment, a committee of ways and means, they did not seem to want their deliberations interrupted by a fat Owl. And the word 'hols' from Billy Bunter was never music to anyone's ears. 'But I say—' persisted Bunter. 'About the hols—' 'We didn't kick Bunter yesterday for pulling our leg about that plane crash that never happened,' remarked Bob Cherry. 'Let's do it now.' 'Hear, hear!' 'Come in and be booted, old fat man.' 'Will you let a chap speak?' hooted Bunter. 'I've come here to talk about the hols—' 'Nothing doing!' said Harry Wharton. 'You wouldn't like a camping trip, old porpoise. We couldn't take an armchair along for you.' 'What about a caravan?' asked Bunter. 'It won't run to it,' said Bob, shaking his head. 'We couldn't ask the old folks at home to shell out so much, even for the pleasure of your company. Of course that's worth any amount of money - if we had it.' 'Priceless!' said Frank Nugent. 'But beyond our means, you see.' 'Ha, ha, ha!' 'Oh, cackle!' said Bunter, disdainfully. 'I've a jolly good mind not to ask you now. I can tell you there's lots of fellows would jump at it.' 'What is there to jump at?' inquired Johnny Bull. 'My caravan for the hols,' retorted Bunter. 'Eh?' 'What?' 'Which?' The Famous Five stared at the fat Owl. Bunter, as he had foreseen, had surprised them. That the fat junior had come to the study to ask himself for the hols was not surprising at all: but that he had come to ask them, with a caravan of his own thrown in, was very surprising indeed. It was, in fact, a little too surprising!
