Perhaps
the
children
would
have
loved
the
canal
as
much
as
the
railway
,
but
for
two
things
.
One
was
that
they
had
found
the
railway
FIRST
--
on
that
first
,
wonderful
morning
when
the
house
and
the
country
and
the
moors
and
rocks
and
great
hills
were
all
new
to
them
.
They
had
not
found
the
canal
till
some
days
later
.
The
other
reason
was
that
everyone
on
the
railway
had
been
kind
to
them
--
the
Station
Master
,
the
Porter
,
and
the
old
gentleman
who
waved
.
And
the
people
on
the
canal
were
anything
but
kind
.
The
people
on
the
canal
were
,
of
course
,
the
bargees
,
who
steered
the
slow
barges
up
and
down
,
or
walked
beside
the
old
horses
that
trampled
up
the
mud
of
the
towing-path
,
and
strained
at
the
long
tow-ropes
.
Peter
had
once
asked
one
of
the
bargees
the
time
,
and
had
been
told
to
"
get
out
of
that
,
"
in
a
tone
so
fierce
that
he
did
not
stop
to
say
anything
about
his
having
just
as
much
right
on
the
towing-path
as
the
man
himself
.
Indeed
,
he
did
not
even
think
of
saying
it
till
some
time
later
.
Then
another
day
when
the
children
thought
they
would
like
to
fish
in
the
canal
,
a
boy
in
a
barge
threw
lumps
of
coal
at
them
,
and
one
of
these
hit
Phyllis
on
the
back
of
the
neck
.
She
was
just
stooping
down
to
tie
up
her
bootlace
--
and
though
the
coal
hardly
hurt
at
all
it
made
her
not
care
very
much
about
going
on
fishing
.
On
the
bridge
,
however
,
Roberta
felt
quite
safe
,
because
she
could
look
down
on
the
canal
,
and
if
any
boy
showed
signs
of
meaning
to
throw
coal
,
she
could
duck
behind
the
parapet
.
Presently
there
was
a
sound
of
wheels
,
which
was
just
what
she
expected
.
The
wheels
were
the
wheels
of
the
Doctor
's
dogcart
,
and
in
the
cart
,
of
course
,
was
the
Doctor
.
He
pulled
up
,
and
called
out
:
--
"
Hullo
,
head
nurse
!
Want
a
lift
?
"
"
I
wanted
to
see
you
,
"
said
Bobbie
.
