"My pigeons!" Miss Wren exclaimed "But how did you know about them? Much less catch one?"

Then Millard stepped forward He had borrowed Horace’s disguising-rooh Miss Wren didn’t see in the air, she was astonished when the invisible boy wearing it said, "I deduced your birds’ location from the Tales of the Peculiar, but we first heard of the"

"But no one knows the location of erie!"

Miss Wren was now alave her only sparked more questions, we laid out our whole story for her, as quickly as we could, stretching all the way back to our escape from the island in those tiny, open boats

"We nearly drowned!" said Olive

"And got shot, and bombed, and eaten by hollows," said Bronwyn

"And run over by an underground train," said Enoch

"And squashed by a dresser," said Horace, scowling at the telekinetic girl

"We’ve traveled a long way across dangerous country," Erine We were quite hoping that person would be you, Miss Wren"

"Counting on it, really," said Millard

It took Miss Wren a few ravelly with emotion "You brave, wonderful children You’re miracles, every one of you, and any ymbryne would be lucky to call you her wards" She dabbed at a tear with the sleeve of her cloak "I was so sorry to hear about what happened to your Miss Peregrine I didn’t know her well, as I’et her back She and all our sisters!"

Get her back?

That’s when I realized Miss Peregrine was still hidden in the sack that Horace was carrying Miss Wren hadn’t seen her yet!

Horace said, "Why, she’s right here!" and he put the sack down and untied it

Aout, dizzy after spending so long in the dark

"By the Elderfolk!" Miss Wren exclaihts!"

"She was taken," Emma said, "and then we took her back!"

Miss Wren was so excited that she leapt up without her cane, and I had to steady her elbow to keep her fro over "Alma, is that really you?" Miss Wren said breathlessly, and when she had her balance again she rushed over to scoop up Miss Peregrine "Hullo, Alma? Is that you in there?"

"It’s her!" Erine!"
