I
was
n't
such
a
jolly
fool
!
Jim
could
never
understand
how
Mother
could
have
been
clever
enough
to
do
it
.
To
the
others
it
seemed
nice
,
but
natural
.
You
see
they
had
always
been
used
to
having
a
mother
who
could
write
verses
just
like
the
way
people
talk
,
even
to
the
shocking
expression
at
the
end
of
the
rhyme
,
which
was
Jim
's
very
own
.
Jim
taught
Peter
to
play
chess
and
draughts
and
dominoes
,
and
altogether
it
was
a
nice
quiet
time
.
Only
Jim
's
leg
got
better
and
better
,
and
a
general
feeling
began
to
spring
up
among
Bobbie
,
Peter
,
and
Phyllis
that
something
ought
to
be
done
to
amuse
him
;
not
just
games
,
but
something
really
handsome
.
But
it
was
extraordinarily
difficult
to
think
of
anything
.
"
It
's
no
good
,
"
said
Peter
,
when
all
of
them
had
thought
and
thought
till
their
heads
felt
quite
heavy
and
swollen
;
"
if
we
ca
n't
think
of
anything
to
amuse
him
,
we
just
ca
n't
,
and
there
's
an
end
of
it
.
Perhaps
something
will
just
happen
of
its
own
accord
that
he
'll
like
.
"
"
Things
DO
happen
by
themselves
sometimes
,
without
your
making
them
,
"
said
Phyllis
,
rather
as
though
,
usually
,
everything
that
happened
in
the
world
was
her
doing
.
"
I
wish
something
would
happen
,
"
said
Bobbie
,
dreamily
,
"
something
wonderful
.
"
And
something
wonderful
did
happen
exactly
four
days
after
she
had
said
this
.
I
wish
I
could
say
it
was
three
days
after
,
because
in
fairy
tales
it
is
always
three
days
after
that
things
happen
.
But
this
is
not
a
fairy
story
,
and
besides
,
it
really
was
four
and
not
three
,
and
I
am
nothing
if
not
strictly
truthful
.
They
seemed
to
be
hardly
Railway
children
at
all
in
those
days
,
and
as
the
days
went
on
each
had
an
uneasy
feeling
about
this
which
Phyllis
expressed
one
day
.
"
I
wonder
if
the
Railway
misses
us
,
"
she
said
,
plaintively
.
"
We
never
go
to
see
it
now
.
"
