Immediately
the
last
clang
had
died
away
Maimie
distinctly
heard
a
voice
say
,
'S
o
that
's
all
right
.
'
It
had
a
wooden
sound
and
seemed
to
come
from
above
,
and
she
looked
up
in
time
to
see
an
elm-tree
stretching
out
its
arms
and
yawning
.
She
was
about
to
say
,
'
I
never
knew
you
could
speak
!
'
when
a
metallic
voice
that
seemed
to
come
from
the
ladle
at
the
well
remarked
to
the
elm
,
'
I
suppose
it
is
a
bit
coldish
up
there
?
'
and
the
elm
replied
,
'N
ot
particularly
,
but
you
do
get
numb
standing
so
long
on
one
leg
,
'
and
he
flapped
his
arms
vigorously
just
as
the
cab-men
do
before
they
drive
off
.
Maimie
was
quite
surprised
to
see
that
a
number
of
other
tall
trees
were
doing
the
same
sort
of
thing
,
and
she
stole
away
to
the
Baby
Walk
and
crouched
observantly
under
a
Minorca
holly
which
shrugged
its
shoulders
but
did
not
seem
to
mind
her
.
She
was
not
in
the
least
cold
.
She
was
wearing
a
russet-coloured
pelisse
and
had
the
hood
over
her
head
,
so
that
nothing
of
her
showed
except
her
dear
little
face
and
her
curls
.
The
rest
of
her
real
self
was
hidden
far
away
inside
so
many
warm
garments
that
in
shape
she
seemed
rather
like
a
ball
.
She
was
about
forty
round
the
waist
.
There
was
a
good
deal
going
on
in
the
Baby
Walk
,
where
Maimie
arrived
in
time
to
see
a
magnolia
and
a
Persian
lilac
step
over
the
railing
and
set
off
for
a
smart
walk
.
They
moved
in
a
jerky
sort
of
way
certainly
,
but
that
was
because
they
used
crutches
.
An
elderberry
hobbled
across
the
walk
,
and
stood
chatting
with
some
young
quinces
,
and
they
all
had
crutches
.
The
crutches
were
the
sticks
that
are
tied
to
young
trees
and
shrubs
.
They
were
quite
familiar
objects
to
Maimie
,
but
she
had
never
known
what
they
were
for
until
to-night
.
She
peeped
up
the
walk
and
saw
her
first
fairy
.
He
was
a
street
boy
fairy
who
was
running
up
the
walk
closing
the
weeping
trees
.
The
way
he
did
it
was
this
:
he
pressed
a
spring
in
the
trunks
and
they
shut
like
umbrellas
,
deluging
the
little
plants
beneath
with
snow
.
'
O
you
naughty
,
naughty
child
!
'
Maimie
cried
indignantly
,
for
she
knew
what
it
was
to
have
a
dripping
umbrella
about
your
ears
.
Fortunately
the
mischievous
fellow
was
out
of
earshot
,
but
a
chrysanthemum
heard
her
,
and
said
so
pointedly
,
'
Hoity-toity
,
what
is
this
?
'
that
she
had
to
come
out
and
show
herself
.
Then
the
whole
vegetable
kingdom
was
rather
puzzled
what
to
do
.
'
Of
course
it
is
no
affair
of
ours
,
'
a
spindle-tree
said
after
they
had
whispered
together
,
'
but
you
know
quite
well
you
ought
not
to
be
here
,
and
perhaps
our
duty
is
to
report
you
to
the
fairies
;
what
do
you
think
yourself
?
'
'
I
think
you
should
not
,
'
Maimie
replied
,
which
so
perplexed
them
that
they
said
petulantly
there
was
no
arguing
with
her
.
'
I
would
n't
ask
it
of
you
,
'
she
assured
them
,
'
if
I
thought
it
was
wrong
,
'
and
of
course
after
this
they
could
not
well
carry
tales
.
They
then
said
,
'
Well-a-day
,
'
and
'S
uch
is
life
,
'
for
they
can
be
frightfully
sarcastic
;
but
she
felt
sorry
for
those
of
them
who
had
no
crutches
,
and
she
said
good-naturedly
,
'
Before
I
go
to
the
fairies
'
ball
,
I
should
like
to
take
you
for
a
walk
one
at
a
time
;
you
can
lean
on
me
,
you
know
.
'
At
this
they
clapped
their
hands
,
and
she
escorted
them
up
the
Baby
Walk
and
back
again
,
one
at
a
time
,
putting
an
arm
or
a
finger
round
the
very
frail
,
setting
their
leg
right
when
it
got
too
ridiculous
,
and
treating
the
foreign
ones
quite
as
courteously
as
the
English
,
though
she
could
not
understand
a
word
they
said
.
They
behaved
well
on
the
whole
,
though
some
whimpered
that
she
had
not
taken
them
as
far
as
she
took
Nancy
or
Grace
or
Dorothy
,
and
others
jagged
her
,
but
it
was
quite
unintentional
,
and
she
was
too
much
of
a
lady
to
cry
out
.
So
much
walking
tired
her
,
and
she
was
anxious
to
be
off
to
the
ball
,
but
she
no
longer
felt
afraid
.
The
reason
she
felt
no
more
fear
was
that
it
was
now
night-time
,
and
in
the
dark
,
you
remember
,
Maimie
was
always
rather
strange
.
