Ohh, we should have kept to the main road, Julian, I think were lost!

Sounds like cousin George is tired. Maybe we should rest.

Tirnmy needs some water!

That could be it!

Oh Dick, I hope so. Looks perfect for a holiday.

He's right, Anne. See! Finniston Farm! Should be just in time for tea! Come on.

I wonder where the farmhouse is?

Oh, good afternoon.

Could you tell me where the farmhouse is, please?

Just over there.

Oh Great. Thank you. Bye.

Bye .

Bye .

Oh, thank you, Julian.

S'all right. - Thank you.

It's a nice house, isn't it? Nice garden.

Never mind, Timmy, you'll soon get a drink.

Yes?

Oh good afternoon, we're the Kirrins.

You are expecting us?

Wait here.

What's up with them?

Hello there.

The Kirrins, Mother.

Yes,yes, I know. I'm Mrs. Philpot. Harry, Harriet, take their things in, please.

I expect you'r all ready for some tea.

Come on through and meet everybody!

Now, come in all of you, right in, that's right. Let's introduce you.

Now, Mr. Henning, I'd like you to meet the Kirrens.

Mr. Henning, Junior, this is George, Anne, Julian and Dick.

Yeah sure, nice to know you.

Hiya, kids.

I asked for some cold orange juice!

Mrs. Philpot, we're in kinda a hurry, would you mind.

Just sit down.

Anywhere. That's right, Anne.

Timmy, sit.

What kinda dog's that! Here dog, wanna bun?

His name's Timmy and nobody feeds him except for me.

Wanna bet? Here dog!

Leave it.

Good boy.

Boy! Some dog! Really stupid!

Least he's got some manners. You'd better pick that up.

Oh don't worry about it. It can be swept up later.

He can do it now!

That is if he's ever going to do it, which I very much doubt!

Thought you were taking a nap, Grandad.

Ha! Chance'd be a fine thing! The place is like a bear garden!

I think we'll go.

In my day children had respect. Now it's breakfast in bed, do as you please.

He's getting to be quite a problem.

That does it! If you don't tell them to go, I will!

Don't be silly, Grandad. I've said Mr. Henning can stay another two weeks.

He still has some unfinished business to deal with.

Business! Robbing us of our heritage more like!

I don't think the children are interested in all that.

Well, they ought to be! Antique dealing he calls it. Well, I call it robbery!

These are the bills for the stuff we got from that last farm, Mr. Henning,

and very cheap at the price, I would say.

Yeah, that's very good, yeah, that's very good.

You got that shipment all arranged, did you?

Yes, it'll all be at the docks by the weekend?

That's fine.

D'you think you're gonna find anything interesting here, Mr. Henning?

Could be, could be. Gonna take a little while to check it out though.

Hey Junior, will you cut that out. For crying out loud. Jesus.

And another thing! Just let him try finding out about our castle again and

we'll soon see what's what. Nothings sacred.

You have a castle?

And you can mind your business an' all, young man!

One fool in the family's enough!

Take no notice of Grandad.

Come on, eat up. You must be hungry.

We didn't know you had a castle here.

Oh, Grandad. We're not even sure where it was.

You mean there's nothing to see?

Not for hundreds of years.

We tided Junior's room.

I'm putting you two in with Junior, just for now.

Couldn't we sleep in the barn, Mrs. Philpot?

Yes, it would be a lot less trouble for you.

That's where we're sleeping!

That's the first time you haven't spoken together.

Well. If you and Dick would really like it.

Oh very much!

Must be catching!

You can move Julian and Dick's things in the barn after we've eaten.

If you change your mind again, you can move your own things!

Harry!

Anyone for more tea?

I think, it's you who could do with a cup of tea, Mrs. Philpot.

Perhaps you're right.

Where are they, Tim?

So that's where you are!

Some holiday this is turning out to be!

It's a pity that castle isn't there any more,

at least that sounded interesting. But those twins.

We'll just have to try and make friends with them.

After all, Mrs. Philpot is so nice.

And how she puts up with that ghastly Junior. Pity Timmy didn't bite him.

Those twins must think everybody's like he is, it's all his fault.

And he gets breakfast in bed!

Someone really ought to teach that Junior a lesson.

Bet I can!

What in the heck, Mrs. Philpot! I didn't ring for my breakfast yet.

You! - Morning, Junior!

Get that stupid dog outa here!

Where I go, he goes.

Well, then gimme my breakfast and get out! Waking me up at the crack of dawn.

Over here.

Mrs. Philpofs paid to give me my breakfast in bed.

Here you are. Breakfast in bed!

You stupid, I'll tell my father on you.

Get him off me! You stupid.

Oh, and by the way. We'll bringing your breakfast in every morning,

so you'll soon get used to waking up at the same time as everyone else!

Come on, Timmy, you've had enough.

Hey! Come back!

What's up?

That Jackdaw's nicked my watch!

Dick! We've overslept! Probably missed breakfast.

Oh crikey!

That jackdaw is becoming a real pest!

Can't blame Nosey.

If they'd been up to help with the milking, like they said.

No need to rub it in, Harry.

We really do want to help. Honestly!

There's some henhouses out the back badly need fixing if you really want to.

I'll come down for breakfast from now on, Mrs. Philpot.

'Course, it's up to you but...

I'd prefer it, really!

Yours cousin George must really have a way with her.

I wonder if he's got any horse brasses?

Yea, come on.

Good boy, Timmy, you must wait over here.

Until we come back. Good dog.

This is a Pony Brass, isn't it?

That's right.

And this?

That's a heraldic lion and this a local guild emblem, a heart.

I like that

That's one pound seventy five..

Mr. Finniston.

Yes.

Are you a descendant of the people who built Finniston Castle?

Yes, indeed I am.

Oh, I wonder what it looked like.

Well there's an old watercolour of it. Bit of a ruin even then.

Hardly a trace of it left now,

all the stones carted away to use for other buildings.

Except of course for the cellars.

Cellars?

Whenever the castle was attacked, it was Norman you know.

The family would escape through the cellars into the chapel.

You can still see the remains of the chapel.

The Philpots use it as a feedstore.

Nobody told us about that!

Well, old wives tales Mrs. Philpot calls it.

Still one can't help wondering what lies buried in those cellars,

bones of prisoners, chests of money.

You really believe there could be?

Oh, I'm only an old man in an antique shop.

Nobody takes any notice of what I say.

D'You like that? I'd take 75P off if you like.

Oh thank you.

Done!

About the cellars...

Strange that nobody's tried to find them before.

Well. Nobody's ever known really much about them.

But don't go saying anything to that Mr. Henning up at the farm.

Always prying into things.

He'd dig the whole farm up if he thought there was anything worth finding.

We won't say a word, Mr. Finniston.

Thank you. - No. You can trust us. Bye.

Goodbye.

Cheerio.

Dick, Julian.

Where are you?

Over here.

Oh, working hard.

More than some people

We've some news to tell you.

Go on.

We've had a very interesting conversation with Mr. Finniston.

Seems to be built round some old ruins.

There could still be some gold or jewels

or anything buried in the castle cellars!

Right! Oh please, Julian, we've just got to try and find the treasure!

Shouldn't be too difficult to keep it a secret,

since we're the only ones who know about it.

But I agree with Mr. Finniston, we don't want the Hennings finding out.

Timmy. What's the matter?

I said: No rabbits, Timmy!

Silly dog. There's nobody there!

Timmy's digging for rabbits again!

Timmy! Bad dog, no rabbits!

Oyster shells, loads of them.

That's odd. We're miles from the sea!

You know Durleston? There's still something very funny.

I couldn't get anything out of that old guy at the antique shop.

Mr. Henning. There's hundreds of acres here, who knows where the castle was.

Now how much d'you want to pay for this stuff eh?

Now that castle did exist. Must have been something in what Junior heard.

Cellars, buried treasure. Kids love making up stuff like that!

Not that I'm suggesting Junior made it up.

Well look, they're coming over now. How much do you want to pay?

What'll he take?

Leave this to me.

Course we'll help. You certainly taught Junior a lesson!

You mean you don't mind us looking for the castle?

Of course not.

We only hated you coming here because it makes so much work for mother.

We think you're all right.

Julian! Those are never human bones, are they?

No. Much more exciting. I'm sure this is a castle midden Timmy's found.

What on earth's that?

A kitchen midden.

Old rubbish dumps.

They could be very large when they're rubbish from big houses or castles.

Things like bones and oyster shells wouldn't rot away like other rubbish.

What's exciting about that?

The midden wasn't usually very far away from the castle walls.

So the castle site must be over there by the chapel.

Junk! You have the nerve to call these junk? Made by craftsmen they were.

Craftsmen! Only part of our heritage you're giving away, our birthright!

Look, you want new tractors.

I want to buy old junk and I've got the money to pay for it!

What's wrong with that?

They should stay in this country!

They're no use to anybody.

You are selling your birthright for a mess of pottage!

And that is out of the Bible, Mr. Henning, in case you don't know.

And it means something to decent, folk! Get out of my way.

I've work to do, so I'll leave you to decide.

Pop, I gotta talk to you. Those kids have found the dump.

I know where the castle is!

What did I tell ya!

Can you see the papers?

American Antiquarian Discovers Castle Site Lost for Centuries.

Excavates the Cellars and find the Gold!

Not so fast, Mr. Henning. Let's not count our chickens.

Publicity is the last thing we want.

Er, there's treasure down there, I know it,

I can feel it right through the soles of my feet.

Try feeling something through your head. Listen.

Anything we find is legally theirs.

We've only paid 'em five hundred to excavate.

All right, when I find the treasure, I'll say nothing.

Slip them another five hundred for the bother.

Five!

Okay, two hundred. We're happy, they're happy.

How could they have known where to look?

Nobody knew about the midden, except us.

And I thought Timmy was chasing after rabbits.

Well there's no point in us looking for a tunnel now.

If the castle cellars are there, Mr. Henning will have found them by tonight.

Staring at them won't make them go away.

Hey! There's that Jackdaw, the one that stole my watch!

Nosey! He's got something.

It's a ring!

It must have come from this rabbit hole.

Must be where he stores his things. Your watch might be down there.

No. No good. Have to make it bigger.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

My father has exclusive rights to any digging around here, I hope you know!

Go tell that to the rabbits!

Oh hat hat'.!

This ring looks very old.

Maybe he didn't put it in the rabbit hole! Maybe he found it there.

It's just possible that this maybe part of the tunnel.

We'll need spades.

This is some rabbit hole!

Supposing Junior comes back?

Well, we can leave Timmy on guard. Timmy, stay on guard!

Wonder what's down here, Julian?

Hey, look at this armour!

One of Nosey's feathers!

He must have found the ring down here.

Could be.

Let's go this way.

Look.

Gold coins.

Look at that.

Old Mr. Finniston was right!

We'll never be able to carry all this back.

We ought to get help, before Henning finds it!

Quick! Let's get out of here!

Harry! Come on!

Harry!

It's caved in! We can't get out!

The other way must lead to the chapel feed store.

It's our only chance! Come on!

Help, help!

Help! Help!

I always knew there was something funny about this place.

Here's your tea, Jack.

It's voices! It's haunted!

Dont talk so silly.

Mother, help.

It's the children under there. Quick!

Here, move this. I'll get it.

All right. Won't be a minute, hold on!

Here, Jack.

Get that out, up you come, right, come on, get it up!

Mother, send for Mr. Finniston quick, we've got to stop Mr. Henning.

Blimey! This is going to take some shifting.

Yeah. Never mind that! Did you find anything?

Nothing much. Mostly gold coins.

Come on, show me, show me!

Give us a chance, give us a chance. Blast!

Oh for crying out loud!

Leave this to me, I'll do the talking.

Look, what on earth have you done?

Look, I'm sorry gov'nor,

we've had a little trouble with the excavator.

But the sites ruined. It's completely ruined!

I'm going to have to report this to the Historical society.

Whatever for?

We know what you're up to!

But there's nothing there to find of any value, isn't that right, Mr. Henning?

That's right. I'm awfully sorry about this mess

and we'll get it cleaned up as soon as we can.

All we found there was a little bit of junk.

Junk!

Call this sword junk, you thieving villain!

Now, Grandad!

The men who made this sword knew how to deal with their enemies! Charge!

The old man's mad. Come on, let's get out of here.

And good riddance to you!

Well done, Grandpa.

Well done.

Yes indeed, very well done.

Did you see Junior run?

Well, after all that I still didn't find my watch.

Would this fetch enough for a new one?

Oh thanks!

A most handsome one I should think, Mrs. Philpot?

Come on then, let's have our tea.

Great!

Would you care to join us, Mr. Finniston?

Oh thank you very much, Mrs. Philpot. I'd like to.

Good.
