A little bit of:

Mystery of the Burnt Cottage. The Famous Five.

(From the original text)

 

It was at half past nine on a dark April night that all the excitement began.

The village of Peterswood was perfectly quiet and peaceful, except for a dog barking somewhere. Larry Daykin was just getting into bed when he saw it. He had pulled back his curtains so that ¨Golly! What´s that!¨ he said. He called to his sister. ¨Daisy!¨I say ,I wonder that it is.   Come here and  look. Then his siter came into the bedroom in her nightdress. She looked out of the window.¨It´s a fire!¨ he said. ¨It looks pretty big, doesn´t it? Do you think it ¨We´d better go and see, ¨said Larry, excited. ¨Let´s get dressed again. Mummy and Daddy are out. Larry and Daisy dressed quickly, and then ran down the stairs and out into the dark garden. As ¨It´s Pip, I bet, ¨said Larry, and shone his torch up the drive.
