The
children
hugged
themselves
and
each
other
in
complicated
wriggles
of
silent
laughter
as
they
listened
on
the
stairs
.
They
had
all
forgotten
by
now
that
there
had
ever
been
any
doubt
in
Peter
's
mind
as
to
whether
coal-mining
was
wrong
.
But
there
came
a
dreadful
night
when
the
Station
Master
put
on
a
pair
of
old
sand
shoes
that
he
had
worn
at
the
seaside
in
his
summer
holiday
,
and
crept
out
very
quietly
to
the
yard
where
the
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
heap
of
coal
was
,
with
the
whitewashed
line
round
it
.
He
crept
out
there
,
and
he
waited
like
a
cat
by
a
mousehole
.
On
the
top
of
the
heap
something
small
and
dark
was
scrabbling
and
rattling
furtively
among
the
coal
.
The
Station
Master
concealed
himself
in
the
shadow
of
a
brake-van
that
had
a
little
tin
chimney
and
was
labelled
:
--
G.
N.
and
S.
R.
34576
Return
at
once
to
White
Heather
Sidings
and
in
this
concealment
he
lurked
till
the
small
thing
on
the
top
of
the
heap
ceased
to
scrabble
and
rattle
,
came
to
the
edge
of
the
heap
,
cautiously
let
itself
down
,
and
lifted
something
after
it
.
Then
the
arm
of
the
Station
Master
was
raised
,
the
hand
of
the
Station
Master
fell
on
a
collar
,
and
there
was
Peter
firmly
held
by
the
jacket
,
with
an
old
carpenter
's
bag
full
of
coal
in
his
trembling
clutch
.
"
So
I
've
caught
you
at
last
,
have
I
,
you
young
thief
?
"
said
the
Station
Master
.
