Question: CHAPTER SEVEN 

AMY'S VALLEY OF HUMILIATION 

"That boy is a perfect cyclops, isn't he?" said Amy one day, as Laurie clattered by on horseback, with a flourish of his whip as he passed. 

"How dare you say so, when he's got both his eyes? And very handsome ones they are, too," cried Jo, who resented any slighting remarks about her friend. 

"I didn't say anything about his eyes, and I don't see why you need fire up when I admire his riding." 

"Oh, my goodness! That little goose means a centaur, and she called him a Cyclops," exclaimed Jo, with a burst of laughter. 

"You needn't be so rude, it's only a 'lapse of lingy', as Mr. Davis says," retorted Amy, finishing Jo with her Latin. "I just wish I had a little of the money Laurie spends on that horse," she added, as if to herself, yet hoping her sisters would hear. 

"Why?" asked Meg kindly, for Jo had gone off in another laugh at Amy's second blunder. 

"I need it so much. I'm dreadfully in debt, and it won't be my turn to have the rag money for a month." 

"In debt, Amy? What do you mean?" And Meg looked sober. 

"Why, I owe at least a dozen pickled limes, and I can't pay them, you know, till I have money, for Marmee forbade my having anything charged at the shop." 

"Tell me all about it. Are limes the fashion now? It used to be pricking bits of rubber to make balls." And Meg tried to keep her countenance, Amy looked so grave and important.  1. who was Amy speaking to?

Question: CHAPTER XII 

MOVING ON 

"Here's a letter from my dear old friend Silas Watson," said Uncle John, delightedly. "It's from Palermo, where he has been staying with his ward--and your friend, girls--Kenneth Forbes, and he wants me to lug you all over to Sicily at once." 

"That's jolly," said Patsy, with a bright smile. "I'd like to see Kenneth again." 

"I suppose he is a great artist, by this time," said Beth, musingly. 

"How singular!" exclaimed Louise. "Count Ferralti told me only this morning that he had decided to go to Palermo." 

"Really?" said Uncle John. 

"Yes, Uncle. Isn't it a coincidence?" 

"Why, as for that," he answered, slowly, "I'm afraid it will prevent our seeing the dear count--or whatever he is--again, at least for some time. For Mr. Watson and Kenneth are just leaving Palermo, and he asks us to meet him in another place altogether, a town called--called--let me see; Tormenti, or Terminal, or something." 

"Give me the letter, dear," said Patsy. "I don't believe it's Terminal at all. Of course not," consulting the pages, "it's Taormina." 

"Is that in Sicily?" he asked. 

"Yes. Listen to what Mr. Watson says: 'I'm told it is the most beautiful spot in the world, which is the same thing you hear about most beautiful places. It is eight hundred feet above the Mediterranean and nestles peacefully in the shadow of Mount Etna.'" 

"Etna!" cried Uncle John, with a start. "Isn't that another volcano?"

Question: CHAPTER XXX 

GOOD-BY TO THE BOY HUNTERS 

"I'll kill that monkey!" roared Ham as he ran into the camp and picked up his ruined clothing. "Look at this!" 

"And this!" added Carl Dudder, snatching up the remains of his sleeping blanket. 

"It was the chimpanzee, sure enough," said Dick Bush. 

"Come on after him!" exclaimed Shep. "Remember the reward," he whispered to his chums. 

All presently made off after the chimpanzee. They kept in a bunch at first, but gradually separated, the Spink crowd going one way and Snap and his chums in another. 

"I'm glad we caught sight of him as we did," said Whopper. "Now those fellows know we were not guilty of the rough-housing." 

"It certainly was rough," was Giant's comment. "Three-quarters of their things are ruined." 

"Perhaps they can hold the circus proprietor responsible," said the doctor's son. 

They moved forward for nearly a quarter of a mile, and were on the point of giving up the search and returning to camp when Giant caught sight of a small, cave-like opening on the mountain side. 

"Let's look in there," he said. "See, there is a vest on the ground in front of it!" 

"Be careful---the chimpanzee may be dangerous!" warned Snap. 

They hurried forward, with eyes and ears on the alert. Giant looked into the opening. 

"No monkey here," he announced. "But he has been here. Look!" 

And much to Snap's delight he held up the missing camera. Then he ran into the cave and came forth with Shep's watch, and a number of trinkets taken from the Spink camp.  1. Who held up a missing camera?
