Answer: Beware

"Beware! Beware of what?" was Aggie's question. The girls were discussing this when Miss Clavel came in with an invitation to Pepito's birthday party. Many of the girls were afraid to go because of the message in Madeline's notebook, but Madeline was not going to be frightened by Pepito and insisted they were going.

The clowns left the knives from their act in the back of the truck so Pepito and Madeline were able to cut their ropes. Then Madeline found the motorcycle, Pepito started it with Madeline's hairpin and they burst out when Les Idiots opened the back doors. They led Leopold and the clowns on a merry chase and escaped when Miss Clavel forced the truck into a pond with her car.
