- On the road again in the bus, Shapeley sees the picture of Ellie and reads furtively about the reward being offered.
- For their part, Ellie and Peter seem to be having the time of their lives. There's singing and dancing aboard the bus, and the two new friends are singing along.
- At one point, the bus driver even joins the chorus, but the bus lands in a ditch by the side of the road, caught in the mud.
- At first, unfazed, Ellie and Peter continue to play around, but then they're caught off-guard by a boy whose mother seems to have fainted.
- The boy explains that they haven't eaten anything since the day before because they had to spend all their money on bus tickets.
- Ellie asks Peter for money, then gives the boy the only dollar that she has left.
- Peter's impressed.
