Three cheers for the secret seven - chapters 5 & 6 summary

They called a meeting because he saw a shine of light through the curtain and thought it was a gas fire when he saw it. He shared it with the people then he asked them what to do. They said to ask the gardener but were too scared because he is too grumpy. They thought of sneaking in night time but said not to do that. They decided to ask jacks mum to see if she knows who they need to tell.
They met again and had asked Jacks mum. She said the owners were overseas and the bank was looking after it. She said Alice had cleaned the house and locked it up. So they decided to ask Alice who was at home with a broken leg. They took her pepperiments. When they visited Alice said she had turned the gas off and locked all the doors and windows and curtains. She gave them gingerbread biscuits to eat. Then they left.
