Plot

Anne and Georgina, a tomboy who prefers to be called "George", are spending their holiday at Captain Johnson's Riding School, where George has a rivalry with another tomboy named Henrietta, who prefers to be called "Henry". Julian and Dick come to join the girls and initially mistake Henry for a boy, much to George's chagrin.

The children encounter a group of Gypsies determined to visit a desolate place called Mystery Moor. An elderly blacksmith tells the children how Gypsies, in the past, sabotaged a railway run by a family of sand-miners, causing most of the family to mysteriously disappear when the moor was covered by a thick mist.

The Famous Five follow the Gypsies to the moor and discover that they are involved in receiving smuggled American banknotes, which are later revealed to be forgeries from France. George and Anne are taken prisoners and held in a cave, but are rescued by Henry and a boy at the riding school, William.

gollark: Well, SPUDNET effectively emulates lazily some sort of complex asymmetric crypto scheme where admin messages are cryptographically signed.
gollark: You could probably have some sort of thing where heavdrones *initially* connect as unprivileged, and only get a comms mode key after they are remotely inspected somehow, but like all DRM-y schemes it is flawed against anyone actually paying attention.
gollark: They heavdrone.
gollark: Yes, heavdrones are autonomous systems.
