Explore "Danny the Detective" by Vera C. Barclay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Outside Danny's garden gate, an important-looking group of people were standing. In fact, they looked so important and so interesting that most of the inhabitants of the village had turned out to stare at them. Two Sixes of Cubs had been posted as a cordon to keep the staring crowd from touching the three grey motor cars or otherwise annoying the group.
This consisted of Captain Miles and a young officer, a sergeant and ten hefty privates, a police inspector and three constables, a private detective, Dick and Danny.
