It was not unusual for Will and Jem to disappear for hours at a time but they normally reappeared before anyone became worried. Not today it would seem. Charlotte, Henry, Sophie and Thomas had all spent the last hour searching for them. Charlotte was beginning to think something truly terrible had happened when suddenly Henry called,
"Charlotte I found them." She ran towards the sound of her husbands voice and found him standing by the tree in the courtyard. Beneath the tree with his back against the the bark sat Will with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Jem lay beside him his head resting on Will's knee. It seemed the hot weather had made them tired enough for them to fall asleep outside. With one hand Will held a book and his other hand balanced on Jem's forehead as if Will was checking his temperature.
"Should we let them sleep?" Henry asked his wife. Charlotte nodded and whispered back,
"Yes I think so. They need the rest and each other."
