They looked at the white rat till they quite stared him out of countenance, so that he went and sat up on his hind legs in a far corner and hid his eyes with his front paws, and pretended he was washing his face. Cyril stooped again, busying himself with the other bootlace and listened for the Psammead's further instructions. 'Go in, said the Psammead, 'and ask the price of lots of other things.
I was getting quite too dreadfully bored for anything! And behind Anthea the kneeling Cyril whispered in the ears of the respectful Robert 'Bobs, don't say anything to Panther. It's no use upsetting her, but we didn't ask for Jane's address, and the Psammead's with her. 'Well, whispered Robert, 'the charm can bring them to us at any moment. IT said so.
And let me play with your little girls till the others have done with the Queen. 'Surely I will, little heart! said the woman. And then Anthea hurriedly stroked the Psammead and embraced Jane, who took the woman's hand, and trotted contentedly away with the Psammead's bag under the other arm.
'Why, the East's where the shrine is, of course. It pointed to the great stone. And still the shouting and the clash of stone on metal sounded nearer and nearer. The children could hear that the headmen had surrounded the hut to protect their treasure as long as might be from the enemy. But none dare to come in after the Psammead's sudden fierce biting of the headman.
'No, said Anthea, 'let's ask the learned gentleman. If anything has happened to Rekh-mara a gentleman's advice would be more useful than a Psammead's. And the learned gentleman'll only think it's a dream, like he always does. They tapped at the door, and on the 'Come in' entered. The learned gentleman was sitting in front of his untasted breakfast.
It's all the Psammead's I mean the enchanter's fault. I wish we'd never seen him. 'He is an enchanter of might? 'Oh yes of might and main. Rather!
Do wish it! Quick! Anthea repeated the Psammead's wish, and it blew itself out to a larger size than they had yet seen it attain. 'And now, it said as it collapsed, 'can I do anything more for you? 'Just one thing; and I think that clears everything up, doesn't it, Jane?
'Then how 'How did I get the Psammead's address? I tell you I got it from the carpet. 'DID it speak then? 'No, said the Phoenix, thoughtfully, 'it didn't speak, but I gathered my information from something in its manner. I was always a singularly observant bird.
If you want me you've only got to say the name of power and ask the charm to bring me to you. 'I'd rather go with you, said Jane. And it was the most surprising thing she had ever said in her life. Everyone opened its mouth without thinking of manners, and Anthea, who was peeping into the Psammead's basket, saw that its mouth opened wider than anybody's.
'Oh! wait a minute, said the wretched Cyril, feeling how foolishly yet well-meaningly he had carried out the Psammead's instructions. 'Just tell me one thing. What do you want for the mangy old monkey in the third hutch from the end? The shopman only saw in this a new insult. 'Mangy young monkey yourself, said he; 'get along with your blooming cheek. Hout you goes!
