The sponge-cakes were both soft and dry and the biscuits were dry too, and yet soft, which biscuits ought not to be. But the ginger-beer made up for everything. "It's my turn now to try to buy something with the money," Anthea said; "I'm next eldest. Where is the pony-cart kept?"
And she stood looking at the children and sniffing. 'Oh, dear! said Anthea, jumping up. 'Whatever is the matter? She put her hand on the little girl's arm. It was rudely shaken off. 'You leave me be, said the little girl. 'I ain't doing nothing to you. 'But what is it? Anthea asked. 'Has someone been hurting you? 'What's that to you? said the little girl fiercely. 'YOU'RE all right.
'Oh, DO let's go home! said Jane. 'Look here I don't care I WILL! She held up the charm. Fortunately all the strange, fair people were too busy to notice HER. She held up the charm. And nothing happened. 'You haven't said the word of power, said Anthea. Jane hastily said it and still nothing happened. 'Hold it up towards the East, you silly! said Robert.
'We ought to get back to the stall, said Anthea, when no one could possibly eat any more, and the curate was talking in a low voice to Miss Peas marsh about 'after Easter'. 'There's nothing to go back for, said Miss Peasmarsh gaily; 'thanks to you dear children we've sold everything. 'There there's the carpet, said Cyril. 'Oh, said Miss Peasmarsh, radiantly, 'don't bother about the carpet.
'I don't want to play, said Jane, and her tone was grumpy. Anthea tried very hard not to be cross. She succeeded. 'Look here, she said, 'don't think I want to be preachy or a beast in any way, but I want to what Father calls define the situation. Do you agree? 'Fire ahead, said Cyril without enthusiasm. 'Well then.
But would you mind not giving me any wishes till after breakfast? It's so hard to talk to anyone if they jump out at you with wishes you don't really want!" "You shouldn't say you wish for things if you don't wish for them. In the old days people almost always knew whether it was Megatherium or Ichthyosaurus they really wanted for dinner." "I'll try not to do so," said Anthea, "but I do wish"
'Well anyway, said Anthea, 'the safest thing is to leave the carpet there with her sitting on it. Perhaps it'll be a lesson to her, and anyway, if she thinks it's a dream it won't matter what she says when she gets home. So the extra coats and hats and mufflers were piled on the carpet.
But that's different from being killed by his soldiers. 'If we saw Caesar we might persuade him not to, said Anthea. 'YOU persuade CAESAR, Robert laughed. The learned gentleman, before anyone could stop him, said, 'I only wish we could see Caesar some time.
You might call and see if my other ones are "really reliable" again yet. So they left Cyril, standing like a Roman sentinel outside the door inside which the Phoenix was getting ready for the great change, and they all went out to buy the precious things for the last sad rites. 'Robert is right, Anthea said; 'this is no time for being careful about our money.
The Phoenix yawned. 'Look here, said Anthea; 'I really have an idea. This isn't like a common carpet. It's very magic indeed. Don't you think, if we put Tatcho on it, and then gave it a rest, the magic part of it might grow, like hair is supposed to do?
