And the next time we go to the pastry shop, do not finger the Charlotte Ruses.

But, Mr. French, we just wanted to try the whipped cream. At least we didn't

lick them.

Come. Let's go.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning, Miss Favisham.

Mr. French, I'm so glad I ran into you. I have two tickets for a poetry reading

today. Selections from Keats and Shelley.

Would you join me?

Oh, I'd be delighted.

Unfortunately, I've given my word to take the children to the park for what

turn out to be a prolonged excursion.

Well, the reading isn't until this afternoon.

I could wait.

Thank you, Miss Favisham. I'll do my utmost.

Thank you, Mr. French.

She likes you.

Nonsense. Miss Favisham and I share a common interest in British poetry.

And that is all.

Now, I'm into the elevator.

He's going to give Mrs.

Beasley a ride.

I hope she doesn't get seasick.

Well, Jody, Mr. Gaynor's going on a real boat. You know, a great big ocean

liner. Hey, have you kids ever been on one?

Golly, no.

But we'd like to.

Hey, Bill, why don't you have French bring him down to the boat?

Sure. Would you like that, kids?

I know where we're going. We're going to the park.

Oh, there's been a little change in plans, French.

Mr. Gaynor's invited the twins down to see a real sailing. Yeah, it's Pier 42,

Hudson River, 2 .30 p .m. 2 .30, yes, to be sure, sir.

Bill, why don't you invite Sissy, too? The more, the merrier.

Hey, that's great! Hey, Lee!

We'll tell her!

Sissy! Sissy!

Sissy!

What a marvelous age, eh?

Everything's a new adventure.

To my surprise, sir, they've managed to make my life a series of new adventures.

Tremendously pleased.

Mr.

Davis. Excuse me.

What's the problem, sir?

Nothing too unusual, sir, but I was just looking upward, pointing out the

skyline to Buffy and Jody, and when I looked down, they disappeared, sir.

Well, don't worry. They were just here a minute ago with Sissy. She took them up

the main salon.

We're relieved, sir. For a moment we thought a fuddle fishing expedition

be necessary.

You think she'll let us? We can ask.

Hi, Uncle Bill.

Well, hi.

I thought you were with Sissy.

We were. She's waiting for us. Could we watch the captain pull up the anchor?

No, captains don't do that anymore, Jody.

Si, did you hear that?

Did you hear that ding -ding?

That's a ten -minute warning.

I'm going back to Sissy.

Oh, Mr. Davis.

Mr. Davis.

Amigo.

May we invite you to dine with us this evening? No, no.

You're all going to have dinner with me.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Are you sure we're invited?

Uncle Bill said everybody.

We're everybody.

Just smaller.

Well, you see, it's still possible for me to call Miss Favisham and meet her at

the theater.

Oh, I'd like to mind the twins, Mr. French, but I promised Freddy I'd go

him this afternoon to see the Velvet Vultures.

Oh, well. I could call him. Oh, no, no, no, no.

Keats and Shelly will just have to do without me.

Miss Faversham.

Mr. French!

Sissy!

Uncle Bill wants to take us to dinner. All of us? No, just Jody and me. And his

friend. We gotta hurry.

He's waiting for us.

Well, in that case, you will have your velvet vultures and I my Percy Bish

Shelley.

May we treat you to a taxi uptown, Miss Davis? A pleasure, Mr. French.

I think Uncle Bill got off the boat.

Yes, what else?

What else?

I don't think we're going to have dinner with him.

And we didn't even know them.

Except Mrs. Gaynor. She looked kind of surprised.

Kind of.

Hey, look.

I think I found a dollar or something.

It's more than one dollar.

It's got a two on it. Then I found two.

Better start walking.

I can't relax.

I'm really worried.

All right.

So you won't ruin the entire trip worrying. I'll call Bill on the ship to

for you. Pardon me.

Ship to shore? Put him on, sure.

Bill?

Yeah, Ted?

What's the matter?

Florence has a crazy notion that she saw Buffy and Jody waving at her from the

pier. She says they were alone.

Look, the French brought him to the boat and he took him home.

Of course he did.

Well, if there was anything wrong, he'd call me, wouldn't he?

That's exactly what I told Florence.

Okay, just tell her that the twins are safe.

Look, just to relieve her mind, tell her I'll call home right now, all right?

Bye, Ted.

Okay.

Do you want to buy a chestnut?

No, sir.

Don't bother me. I'm busy.

A chestnut's a heart of chestnuts. A chestnut's a heart of chestnuts.

A chestnut's a heart of chestnuts.

Nobody wants to talk to kids.

Don't worry, Buffy.

We'll find who lost the money.

But after that...

have to find how to get home.

That's easy.

All we do is find the street.

The apartment is on where Uncle Bill lives.

Where's that?

Well, everybody knows Uncle Bill.

I hope so, Jody. I'm getting hungry and I'm getting scared.

Nothing to be scared about.

Could I get you some refreshment, Miss Favisham?

No, thank you, Mr. French.

I'd prefer to hear your appraisal of the poetry readings.

Oh, magnificent.

Oh, with a pardonable blush, I must say, we British do have a way with the word.

I'm so glad you could join me.

Delighted. Now, I wonder if you would join me for dinner tonight.

Oh, yes,

I'd love to.

But how long can you be away from the children?

Oh, definitely.

Mr. Davis has the twins well in hand.

Mister,

me and Buffy are lost.

We want to go home.

Lady.

Please talk so I can understand.

What

did

they say?

I don't know.

Maybe New York is a foreign country.

Jody, I want to go home.

I want to go home.

if we walked in the right direction.

Don't cry, Buffy.

I'll take care of you.

Thanks, Jody.

Let's go.

I'm not scared yet.

But if it gets dark, then I'll be scared.

I'm scared already.

I don't know.

My mother said that we should go this way.

That's baby stuff.

You can't tell directions like that.

Then how?

There. I hope it splashed the right way.

We're looking forward to your visit to Argentina, Mr. Davis.

When do you think we'll be able to get the power station started?

Three hours.

Three hours.

Did you say three hours?

Huh?

Oh, excuse me. I was thinking of French and the twins. I tried for three hours

to call them from my office.

There's no answer in the apartment.

Could he have taken them out for the evening?

Yeah, sure, that must be it.

Jody's got a sailboat, so they probably stayed late in the park.

They ought to be home by now, though.

Waiter, can you bring me a phone, please?

Oh, hello, Mr. Davis. What can I do for you?

Scotty, I don't get an answer in the apartment. Have you seen French and the

twins? Well, I saw Mr.

French leave here with Miss Fathersham. No twins.

No twins?

That's right.

Well, when did he leave?

Well, they must be with Sissy.

They gotta be.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, thanks, Scotty.

You have found the children?

Not yet.

Well, I guess they're with Sissy.

Look, will you excuse me? I want to get home and look through her phone book.

Maybe the three of them are spending the night with one of her girlfriends.

I'm sorry.

Smells good.

Smelling isn't the same as eating.

I

bet

Mr. Lincoln never had to go all the way to China to give back money.

No lose. No lose.

Here, present.

Go home.

We're never going to find who lost it.

Sissy!

Well, hi, Uncle Bill.

Where did you leave Buffy and Jody?

What do you mean, where did I leave them? I thought they were with you.

They left the boat with French, didn't they? Uncle Bill, they didn't. I left

with Mr. French.

Well, where are they?

Oh, it's a perfect evening, Miss Havisham. Peach, Shelly, roast beef,

pudding, and your company.

Where are they?

What happened to them?

Venter? Jody and Buffy.

Well, I left them on the boat, sir, with you. You were going to take them to

dinner, sir. With me?

You, sir. I'm quoting them exactly.

I must have misunderstood.

Well, Uncle Bill, what are we going to do?

I'm going to call the precinct. You get the missing persons bureau. Use Sissy's

phone. I'll be right back.

Jody, we've been walking a long time.

It can't be this far.

Are you sure we have to find who lost this money?

Maybe we can find where we live first.

We can eat something and go out again.

Okay. I bet we're almost... We just go this way. I think it's a shortcut.

I don't remember any shortcut looking like this.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Don't cry, Buff.

I'll take care of ya.

It's only a cat.

I'll sure be glad to be home.

We're practically there.

You know something?

Yeah.

It's a dead end, Jody.

I wish we'd never found that $20.

I think we're more lost than the money.

Hello? Hi.

You live around here?

No.

$20. And we can't find who lost it.

What is

your

mama and papa?

We don't have any.

We live with Uncle Bill.

I call your home.

What is your telephone number?

Oh, there's lots of numbers.

A five and a three.

And a couple of zeros.

And some nines.

Sixes. That's only when you look at them upside down.

I take you home.

Where do you live?

On a street with a six and a two.

And it's a big, giant building.

We'd know it if we saw it.

It's a place where they don't like kids running in the hall.

Oh.

Come.

We're going to find a street with a six and a two.

When did you first find out they were missing, Mr. Davis?

Well, about an hour ago. See, we were seeing some friends off on the...

I'll call out the all -points bulletin.

This is our friend, Mr. Garcia.

Mr. Garcia, thank you for bringing them back, sir.

Where'd you find them? I don't know if I found them. They found me. They found

you.

And where have you been?

Can we tell you after we have a peanut butter sandwich?

We're starved.

Is that all you got to say?

I was going to say bologna, but peanut butter's all right.

So that's why we kept

walking around New York.

To find the man who lost his $20.

Now we never will.

Here, Mr.

Garcia. Oh, no, no, no, no.

It's not for money I do this.

No,

we know that, Mr. Garcia. Why don't you take it anyway?

Go on. It's their way of saying thanks.

And to you and your brother, I say gracias.

What do you do for a living, Mr. Garcia?

I'm a stonemason when I work.

Stonemason?

Good. You can work for me anytime.

Here, just call me at that number.

Gracias.

Gracias. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. I'll see you to the door, Mr.

Garcia. No, no, it's not important. I'm fine.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Garcia.

Now, children, it's been a long day.

Off to bed.

You weren't mad at us, Uncle Bill?

Nope. I never was.

Good night, Uncle Bill. Good night, Uncle Bill.

Good night.

Good night, Mr. Frank. Good night, Mr. Frank. Good night, children.

Come on, I'll tuck you in.

Well, they seem none the worse, sir.

Yeah, they're okay.

Boy, I never realized what a rough time parents have.

Yes, sir.

Nervous breakdowns must be quite common.

Oh, would you care for some refreshments, sir? Right, on the

With your permission, sir.

I could do with a strong cup of coffee myself.

Go ahead. Looks like a long winter.
