1. Morning

“Where is everyone?” Agnes asked, as she pegged out the washing.

“Hiding,” said Claire, as she swung back and forth on the swing.

2. Noon

“Where is everyone?” Agnes asked out of the kitchen window.

“Hiding,” said Claire, as she swung higher and higher on the swing.

“Still?”

“I suppose.”

3. Just Before Dinner

“Where is everyone?” Agnes asked out of the kitchen window.

“Hiding,” said Claire, as she swung as high as it was possible to swing on the swing without swinging right the way over the swing.

“Still?”

“I suppose.”

“How come no one’s found you yet?” Agnes said.

“No one’s looking for me, Mum,” Claire said. “I’m looking for them!”
