"
You
're
a
brick
,
"
cried
Bobbie
;
"
it
's
a
splendid
present
.
"
She
said
no
more
aloud
,
but
to
herself
she
said
:
--
692
"
That
was
awfully
jolly
decent
of
Peter
because
I
know
he
did
n't
mean
to
.
Well
,
the
broken
half
shall
be
my
half
of
the
engine
,
and
I
'll
get
it
mended
and
give
it
back
to
Peter
for
his
birthday
.
"
--
"
Yes
,
Mother
dear
,
I
should
like
to
cut
the
cake
,
"
she
added
,
and
tea
began
.
693
It
was
a
delightful
birthday
.
After
tea
Mother
played
games
with
them
--
any
game
they
liked
--
and
of
course
their
first
choice
was
blindman
's
-
buff
,
in
the
course
of
which
Bobbie
's
forget-me-not
wreath
twisted
itself
crookedly
over
one
of
her
ears
and
stayed
there
.
Then
,
when
it
was
near
bed-time
and
time
to
calm
down
,
Mother
had
a
lovely
new
story
to
read
to
them
.

"
You
wo
n't
sit
up
late
working
,
will
you
,
Mother
?
"
Bobbie
asked
as
they
said
good
night
.
695
And
Mother
said
no
,
she
would
n't
--
she
would
only
just
write
to
Father
and
then
go
to
bed
.
696
But
when
Bobbie
crept
down
later
to
bring
up
her
presents
--
for
she
felt
she
really
could
not
be
separated
from
them
all
night
--
Mother
was
not
writing
,
but
leaning
her
head
on
her
arms
and
her
arms
on
the
table
.
I
think
it
was
rather
good
of
Bobbie
to
slip
quietly
away
,
saying
over
and
over
,
"
She
does
n't
want
me
to
know
she
's
unhappy
,
and
I
wo
n't
know
;
I
wo
n't
know
.
"
But
it
made
a
sad
end
to
the
birthday
.

The
very
next
morning
Bobbie
began
to
watch
her
opportunity
to
get
Peter
's
engine
mended
secretly
.
And
the
opportunity
came
the
very
next
afternoon
.
699
Mother
went
by
train
to
the
nearest
town
to
do
shopping
.
When
she
went
there
,
she
always
went
to
the
Post-office
.
Perhaps
to
post
her
letters
to
Father
,
for
she
never
gave
them
to
the
children
or
Mrs.
Viney
to
post
,
and
she
never
went
to
the
village
herself
.
Peter
and
Phyllis
went
with
her
.
Bobbie
wanted
an
excuse
not
to
go
,
but
try
as
she
would
she
could
n't
think
of
a
good
one
.
And
just
when
she
felt
that
all
was
lost
,
her
frock
caught
on
a
big
nail
by
the
kitchen
door
and
there
was
a
great
criss-cross
tear
all
along
the
front
of
the
skirt
.
I
assure
you
this
was
really
an
accident
.
So
the
others
pitied
her
and
went
without
her
,
for
there
was
no
time
for
her
to
change
,
because
they
were
rather
late
already
and
had
to
hurry
to
the
station
to
catch
the
train
.
700
When
they
had
gone
,
Bobbie
put
on
her
everyday
frock
,
and
went
down
to
the
railway
.
She
did
not
go
into
the
station
,
but
she
went
along
the
line
to
the
end
of
the
platform
where
the
engine
is
when
the
down
train
is
alongside
the
platform
--
the
place
where
there
are
a
water
tank
and
a
long
,
limp
,
leather
hose
,
like
an
elephant
's
trunk
.
She
hid
behind
a
bush
on
the
other
side
of
the
railway
.
She
had
the
toy
engine
done
up
in
brown
paper
,
and
she
waited
patiently
with
it
under
her
arm
.
