Matilda
froze
in
horror
.
The
father
kept
going
.
There
seemed
little
doubt
that
the
man
felt
some
kind
of
jealousy
.
How
dare
she
,
he
seemed
to
be
saying
with
each
rip
of
a
page
,
how
dare
she
enjoy
reading
books
when
he
couldn
t
?
How
dare
she
?
152
"
That
s
a
library
book
!
"
Matilda
cried
.
"
It
doesn
t
belong
to
me
!
I
have
to
return
it
to
Mrs
.
Phelps
!
"
153
"
Then
you
ll
have
to
buy
another
one
,
won
t
you
?
"
the
father
said
,
still
tearing
out
pages
.
"
You
ll
have
to
save
your
pocket
-
money
until
there
s
enough
in
the
kitty
to
buy
a
new
one
for
your
precious
Mrs
.
Phelps
,
won
t
you
?
"
With
that
he
dropped
the
now
empty
covers
of
the
book
into
the
basket
and
marched
out
of
the
room
,
leaving
the
telly
blaring
.

Most
children
in
Matilda
s
place
would
have
burst
into
floods
of
tears
.
She
didn
t
do
this
.
She
sat
there
very
still
and
white
and
thoughtful
.
She
seemed
to
know
that
neither
crying
nor
sulking
ever
got
anyone
anywhere
.
The
only
sensible
thing
to
do
when
you
are
attacked
is
,
as
Napoleon
once
said
,
to
counter
-
attack
.

Matilda
s
wonderfully
subtle
mind
was
already
at
work
devising
yet
another
suitable
punishment
for
the
poisonous
parent
.
The
plan
that
was
now
beginning
to
hatch
in
her
mind
depended
,
however
,
upon
whether
or
not
Fred
s
parrot
was
really
as
good
a
talker
as
Fred
made
out
.
156
Fred
was
a
friend
of
Matilda
s
.
He
was
a
small
boy
of
six
who
lived
just
around
the
corner
from
her
,
and
for
days
he
had
been
going
on
about
this
great
talking
parrot
his
father
had
given
him
.
157
So
the
following
afternoon
,
as
soon
as
Mrs
.
Wormwood
had
departed
in
her
car
for
another
session
of
bingo
,
Matilda
set
out
for
Fred
s
house
to
investigate
.
She
knocked
on
his
door
and
asked
if
he
would
be
kind
enough
to
show
her
the
famous
bird
.
Fred
was
delighted
and
led
her
up
to
his
bedroom
where
a
truly
magnificent
blue
and
yellow
parrot
sat
in
a
tall
cage
.

"
There
it
is
,
"
Fred
said
.
"
It
s
name
is
Chopper
.
"
159
"
Make
it
talk
,
"
Matilda
said
.

"
You
can
t
make
it
talk
,
"
Fred
said
.
"
You
have
to
be
patient
.
