And
she
started
the
race
,
though
she
hated
doing
it
.
YOU
know
why
Bobbie
did
that
.
Mother
only
thought
that
Bobbie
was
tired
of
walking
slowly
.
Even
Mothers
,
who
love
you
better
than
anyone
else
ever
will
,
do
n't
always
understand
.
"
That
's
a
likely
little
brooch
you
've
got
on
,
Miss
,
"
said
Perks
the
Porter
;
"
I
do
n't
know
as
ever
I
see
a
thing
more
like
a
buttercup
without
it
WAS
a
buttercup
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Bobbie
,
glad
and
flushed
by
this
approval
.
"
I
always
thought
it
was
more
like
a
buttercup
almost
than
even
a
real
one
--
and
I
NEVER
thought
it
would
come
to
be
mine
,
my
very
own
--
and
then
Mother
gave
it
to
me
for
my
birthday
.
"
"
Oh
,
have
you
had
a
birthday
?
"
said
Perks
;
and
he
seemed
quite
surprised
,
as
though
a
birthday
were
a
thing
only
granted
to
a
favoured
few
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Bobbie
;
"
when
's
your
birthday
,
Mr.
Perks
?
"
The
children
were
taking
tea
with
Mr.
Perks
in
the
Porters
'
room
among
the
lamps
and
the
railway
almanacs
.
They
had
brought
their
own
cups
and
some
jam
turnovers
.
Mr.
Perks
made
tea
in
a
beer
can
,
as
usual
,
and
everyone
felt
very
happy
and
confidential
.
"
My
birthday
?
"
said
Perks
,
tipping
some
more
dark
brown
tea
out
of
the
can
into
Peter
's
cup
.
"
I
give
up
keeping
of
my
birthday
afore
you
was
born
.
"
"
But
you
must
have
been
born
SOMETIME
,
you
know
,
"
said
Phyllis
,
thoughtfully
,
"
even
if
it
was
twenty
years
ago
--
or
thirty
or
sixty
or
seventy
.
"
"
Not
so
long
as
that
,
Missie
,
"
Perks
grinned
as
he
answered
.
"
If
you
really
want
to
know
,
it
was
thirty-two
years
ago
,
come
the
fifteenth
of
this
month
.
"
"
Then
why
do
n't
you
keep
it
?
"
asked
Phyllis
.
"
I
've
got
something
else
to
keep
besides
birthdays
,
"
said
Perks
,
briefly
.
