If you're so cut up about it I won't live under this roof another minute!
"The horses are quieting down now, and Noddy seems as much at home as anywhere, so I reckon it was only strangeness that made them act queer," said Eleanor. "But something may pounce out upon us, and take us unawares!" wailed Barbara.
