'Cheeky old ass!' said Johnny Bull. 'Who the dickens is he to give us orders?' 'The cheekfulness is terrific.' 'May as well get back, and see whether Bob's turned up yet,' said Harry. And leaving the scene of that rather exciting episode behind, they strolled away down the lane. Certainly without the least intention of calling on Captain Pooter-Jones to collect a reward for their services, and, in fact, quite pleased to have seen the last of Captain Pooter-Jones.
CHAPTER 18 BUNTER KNOWS BEST 'I SAY, you fellows.' 'Hallo, hallo, hallo!' 'What's on that board?' 'Trespassers will be prosecuted!' Grunt, from Bunter. The shades of night, as a poet has already expressed it, were falling fast. A sunny spring day was drawing to its close. The red caravan, once more a going concern, was in motion. Kindly help from the farm had extricated caravan and caravanners from their predicament. They were able, at long last, to roll on their way. But so much time had been lost that it was clear that they would see nothing of Hedgeley that day. Not that that mattered very much if a suitable spot could be found for camping en route. Harry Wharton and Co., as they walked with the van, were looking out for such a suitable spot. So was Bunter. And it seemed to Bunter that he had found one. Half a mile had been covered since the caravanners had restarted after the interval. Billy Bunter sat with the reins and the whip, but Jervis was leading the horse. Bunter, from his eyrie in the driving-seat, blinked over a roadside gate. What he beheld beyond that gate impressed the fat Owl favourably. Harry Wharton and Co. also looked over the gate and were equally favourably impressed. A little green meadow, with shady trees and a rippling stream on the further side, looked an ideal spot for a camp. But on the gate was a board-and on that board was a legend familiar to caravanners, hikers, tramps, and other ramblers of the roads: 'TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED'. So, attractive as that green little meadow looked, the Famous Five were prepared to march on and leave its attraction astern. Not so Bunter! 'Just the place!' said Bunter. 'That looks a jolly good spot for a camp, you fellows.' 'Just!' agreed Bob Cherry. 'But it's barred, old fat man. Trespassers will be prosecuted - there it is, plain enough.' 'Rot!' said Bunter. 'We can't trespass in that meadow,' grunted Johnny Bull. 'Rubbish!' 'You fat ass!' 'That will, do, Bull. Stop, Jervis! We're camping here.' Jervis glanced up at his lord and master. 'Perhaps, sir, it would be advisable to look a little further,' he suggested, meekly. 'I said stop!' snapped Bunter. 'Very good, sir.' Jervis stopped.
