As the Gravesends drew closer to the point, the ground began to rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a pretty lofty lookout,\u201d said Philip, \u201cDo we get to hike all the way to the top?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need to, for Xavier\u2019s surprise,\u201d said Mr. Gravesend.\u00a0 \u201cBut we can<\/em>, if you would enjoy the view.\u00a0 Be careful, Robyn,\u201d he added suddenly, \u201cThe rocks are pretty slippery on that side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be careful,\u201d Robyn assured him confidently.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you see that eagle?\u201d Philip said.\u00a0 \u201cWhat a lofty view it must have from up there!\u201d<\/p>\n

SPLASH!<\/p>\n

Robyn lost her footing, and tumbled right into the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cOH, NO!\u201d Robyn cried, surveying her wet clothes with dismay.\u00a0 \u201cI wish I hadn\u2019t had such a lofty opinion of my own judgement!\u00a0 If I hadn\u2019t been climbing on those slippery rocks, I wouldn\u2019t have landed up in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least you weren\u2019t wearing your pink socks,\u201d Philip teased.\u00a0 \u201cAnd at least you didn\u2019t get hurt,\u201d he added more seriously.\u00a0 \u201cBut I hope Xavier\u2019s surprise isn\u2019t something that requires dry clothes!\u201d<\/p>\n
