Bunny Lake Is Missing Page #3

Will you all please stop saying that?

The fours are not all on their way home.

Mine isn't, and she isn't at dinner, either.

If she's a four,

I imagine Miss Daphne would...

Miss Daphne went home with a toothache!

You don't seem to know very much

about what goes on here.

- A child whos been placed in your...

- London office. Can I help you?

Mr. Steven Lake, please.

She couldnt have walked out that way.

- She couldnt have walked out at all.

- What do you mean by that?

If she couldnt have walked out by herself,

then someone took her.

- Is that what youre saying?

- Of course not.

I assume you regulate who comes

into this school and who doesn't.

People don't just wander in off the street,

do they?

- Certainly not. We keep...

- Then listen to me for a minute.

Shortly before 10:00,

Bunny was brought into this room.

A little boy about 18 months old

was playing here.

Yes, and I saw the boy later in the hall

with his mother.

The cook promised to keep an eye on her

until the 10:
00 recess.

Listen to me.

We all agree she couldnt have

got out of this room by herself.

Barring witchcraft, that can only mean

someone took her out, correct?

- I don't know. I mean...

- I do.

If you'd stop defending yourself

for a minute, Miss...

Smollett, and I'm not defending myself.

If you would worry less about yourself

and more about this child...

you seem to have misplaced,

we might begin to get somewhere.

Since she couldnt have gone out by herself,

it means someone took her out.

The question is who.

Who took the child out of here?

Think about it.

Calm down and begin to think.

How can I when you scream at me?

- Forgive me, we're all a little overexcited.

- What I was going to say is...

even though someone did take her

out of this room...

it doesn't necessarily mean

they took her out of the school, too.

In which event she'd still be here.

The question is where.

Have you searched the place?

- Of course we have.

- Maybe we'll have better luck.

Your track record, just for today,

hasn't been too dazzling.

So you don't mind if we look for ourselves,

do you?

Not at all.

I'll be in the office if you should need me.

Don't worry, Annie. we'll find her.

we'll start on the top floor

and we'll work our way down.

- What's up there?

- Miss Bentons private flat.

We thought Miss Benton

was in the hospital.

I told you, it's a private flat.

- She could have easily run up here.

- Listen.

It was an underground train

But there was noBody on it...

eXcept this dog.

It was the giants dog, really.

He didn't know that he was on the train.

And this dog had great Big...

huge eyes and the most awful teeth.

Who is it?
