“Yippee!” rejoices Ilvie. “We’re going to sea! The fearless sailors are going to sea!”

The two girls hug each other and dance wildly around the library.

“I think we’d best prepare ourselves for a long trip,” Leonie giggles ­between two sailor dance steps. “Great-grandmother Grace loved tricky riddles and secret languages; I fear she won’t make things easy for those ­looking for the treasure—us that is!”

“That’s OK,” rejoices Ilvie, turning a few wild pirouettes. “We’ll find this treasure, I’m sure of it!”

‘Ohmygod … ohmygod,’ twinkles Theo, watching the whole scene with fearful amazement and then covering his eyes with both hands again. ‘Now I have to go to sea too! Storms and waves and seasickness and spirates! Help! Ilvie, you can’t do this to me! It’s too much for such a little monkey!’

‘Theo, don’t worry, it will be great! We’re going on a treasure hunt! Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you,’ twinkles Ilvie, hugging the little monkey tightly. ‘We’ll have a super good first adventure on human land, Theo!’
