Please
may
I
sit
down
for
a
minute
on
this
box
?
”
he
said
,
thinking
the
old
woman
was
somewhere
in
the
shop
.
But
he
got
no
answer
,
and
sat
down
without
one
.
Around
him
were
a
great
many
toys
of
all
prices
,
from
a
penny
up
to
shillings
.
All
at
once
he
heard
a
gentle
whirring
somewhere
amongst
them
.
It
made
him
start
and
look
behind
him
.
There
were
the
sails
of
a
windmill
going
round
and
round
almost
close
to
his
ear
.
He
thought
at
first
it
must
be
one
of
those
toys
which
are
wound
up
and
go
with
clockwork
;
but
no
,
it
was
a
common
penny
toy
,
with
the
windmill
at
the
end
of
a
whistle
,
and
when
the
whistle
blows
the
windmill
goes
.
But
the
wonder
was
that
there
was
no
one
at
the
whistle
end
blowing
,
and
yet
the
sails
were
turning
round
and
round
—
now
faster
,
now
slower
,
now
faster
again
.
“
What
can
it
mean
?
”
said
Diamond
,
aloud
.
“
It
means
me
,
”
said
the
tiniest
voice
he
had
ever
heard
.
“
Who
are
you
,
please
?
”
asked
Diamond
.
“
Well
,
really
,
I
begin
to
be
ashamed
of
you
,
”
said
the
voice
.
“
I
wonder
how
long
it
will
be
before
you
know
me
;
or
how
often
I
might
take
you
in
before
you
got
sharp
enough
to
suspect
me
.
You
are
as
bad
as
a
baby
that
doesn
’
t
know
his
mother
in
a
new
bonnet
.
”
“
Not
quite
so
bad
as
that
,
dear
North
Wind
,
”
said
Diamond
,
“
for
I
didn
’
t
see
you
at
all
,
and
indeed
I
don
’
t
see
you
yet
,
although
I
recognise
your
voice
.
Do
grow
a
little
,
please
.
”
“
Not
a
hair
’
s
-
breadth
,
”
said
the
voice
,
and
it
was
the
smallest
voice
that
ever
spoke
.
“
What
are
you
doing
here
?
”
“
I
am
come
to
see
my
aunt
.
But
,
please
,
North
Wind
,
why
didn
’
t
you
come
back
for
me
in
the
church
that
night
?
”
“
I
did
.
I
carried
you
safe
home
.
All
the
time
you
were
dreaming
about
the
glass
Apostles
,
you
were
lying
in
my
arms
.
”
“
I
’
m
so
glad
,
”
said
Diamond
.
“
I
thought
that
must
be
it
,
only
I
wanted
to
hear
you
say
so
.
Did
you
sink
the
ship
,
then
?
