study with that funny story, they really did not know: but the idea of believing in Bunter's caravan and Bunter's man Jervis hardly occurred to them. The fat Owl having departed, they resumed their discussion of ways and means for a camping trip in the hols - which certainly did not look as if they expected to see that caravan on the morrow.
CHAPTER 9 THE VANISHED VAN 'WHERE'S that van?' 'The wherefulness is terrific.' 'O where and O where can it be?' sang Bob Cherry. 'You fat spoofer!' 'Bump him!' 'Oh, crikey!' said Billy Bunter. He stood blinking over a gate into a little meadow by the Redclyffe road. In that meadow, he had fully expected to behold a red caravan. He did not behold a caravan, red or otherwise. He beheld a stretch of green grass, hedges and trees. There was not even the ghost of a caravan. Harry Wharton and Co. gave him quite expressive looks. They had run out their bikes, after class, as arranged. To their surprise, Bunter, during the day, had adhered to his 'funny story'. He persisted that there really was a caravan, that it was camped in the meadow on the Redclyffe road and that his 'man Jervis' was there, waiting with it for the Greyfriars fellows to come along. As he kept it up till the very last moment, when it was time to push out the bikes, the chums of the Remove began to wonder whether it was, after all, not one of Bunter's romances, and whether there really was a caravan after all. But that doubt was settled when they arrived at the gate of the little meadow. There was no caravan. If there ever had been a caravan, it had vanished, like the Arab who folded his tent and crept softly and silently away! Bunter knew that there had been a caravan: it had been there, under his own eyes and spectacles. But it was gone! Undoubtedly it was gone. But the Famous Five, who had not expected to see it there, were naturally not surprised not to see it! They could only conclude that the fat Owl had been leg-pulling. 'Beast!' mumbled Bunter, referring to the vanished Mr. Jervis. 'Letting a fellow down like this.' 'Where's that caravan?' roared Johnny Bull. 'It's gone!' mumbled Bunter. 'Was it ever here?' grinned Bob. 'It was here yesterday,' yapped Bunter. 'And Jervis said he would be here today, waiting for us to come along. I—I—I suppose he must have been pulling my leg.' 'I jolly well know you were pulling ours!' grunted Johnny Bull. 'The knowfulness is terrific.' 'Well, it's all rot, and we jolly well knew it was,' said Harry Wharton. 'That fat chump's brought us here for nothing.' 'I—I—I say, you fellows, it really was here—' 'Gammon!' 'I—I say, perhaps he had to shift into another field!' That bright idea occurred to Billy Bunter. 'He—he might have camped
