The Great Aunt strongly disapproved when she heard that Mrs. Blackett had left Nancy and Peggy in charge at Beckfoot. She would have disapproved still more if she had known that they had been allowed to have visitors (Dick and Dorothea) whilst their mother was away. The visitors had hardly settled down when a letter arrived from the Great Aunt to say she was to arrive that evening. What was to be done? The D's could not go home - everything had been arranged beforehand. Somehow or other they had to disappear without going away. Nancy and Peggy settled down to keep the Great Aunt happy.
But it was not as easy as it seemed when Nancy first rushed them off to the old hut in the wood. More and more people had to be let in on the secret until half the countryside was wishing Nancy had never thought of her plan. Nancy and Peggy, gallant martyrs, were having a dreadful time. Dick and Dorothea were learning to live like Picts, outlaws or badgers whose very existence had to be kept hidden. Work that was to have been done in Captain Flint's study had to be done in the houseboat. Beckfoot had to be burgled to get the things they needed. And then, The very day before she was going, the Great Aunt herself disappeared and it looked as if Nancy's good intentions had ended in disaster.
