It began with the day… |
|
|
| 2 |
Next day all was forgotten and forgiven… |
|
|
| 3 |
They traced strange figures with chalk… |
|
|
| 4 |
The children were all choking with wonder… |
|
|
| 5 |
‘I had resided as your book says…’ |
|
|
| 6 |
The next day was Saturday |
|
|
| 7 |
Everyone looked and everyone thought |
|
|
| 8 |
As soon as the carpet came to a stop… |
|
|
| 9 |
So the Phoenix fluttered up… |
|
|
| 10 |
‘I say, talking of stones,’ said Robert |
|
|
| 11 |
Then quite suddenly the floor seemed to tip up… |
|
|
| 12 |
The next day, Cook came to mother… |
|
|
| 13 |
For some reason or other… |
|
|
| 14 |
Anthea felt rather uncomfortable… |
|
|
| 15 |
The old ranee or queen… |
|
|
| 16 |
All this had taken some time… |
|
|
| 17 |
The children sidled away… |
|
|
| 18 |
So they went |
|
|
| 19 |
‘We shan’t be able to go anywhere on the carpet…’ |

‘Has anyone got any matches?’ said Anthea |
|
|
| 2 |
The stone was heaved up |
|
|
| 3 |
So they all went in… |
|
|
| 4 |
They went down the road… |
|
|
| 5 |
Mother arranged with Aunt Emma… |
|
|
| 6 |
Everything was nicely washed up… |
|
|

At this point the Phoenix… |
|
|
| 8 |
It was Jane who awoke with a start… |
|
|
| 9 |
‘Well, miss,’ said the burglar… |
|
|
| 10 |
The morning after the adventure… |
|
|
| 11 |
‘Good gracious,’ said Jane… |
|
|
| 12 |
So the children arranged to wait… |
|
|
| 13 |
And instantly they were |
|
|
| 14 |
‘Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!…’ |
|
|
| 15 |
When she had gone out the Phoenix… |
|
|
| 16 |
The songs in the play it took to be hymns… |
|
|
| 17 |
But a fierce waft of smoke and hot air… |
|
|
| 18 |
No one had noticed the Phoenix… |
|
|
| 19 |
Anthea put the last touches… |
|
|
| 20 |
When they got home, there lay the carpet… |
|
|
| 21 |
‘Whatever have you done with the carpet?’ |
