"
I
ve
heard
it
here
before
!
This
room
is
haunted
!
I
thought
you
knew
that
.
"
202
"
Save
us
!
"
the
mother
screamed
,
almost
throttling
her
husband
.
203
"
I
m
getting
out
of
here
,
"
the
father
said
,
greyer
than
ever
now
.
They
all
fled
,
slamming
the
door
behind
them
.

The
next
afternoon
,
Matilda
managed
to
get
a
rather
sooty
and
grumpy
parrot
down
from
the
chimney
and
out
of
the
house
without
being
seen
.
She
carried
it
through
the
back
-
door
and
ran
with
it
all
the
way
to
Fred
s
house
.
205
"
Did
it
behave
itself
?
"
Fred
asked
her
.
206
"
We
had
a
lovely
time
with
it
,
"
Matilda
said
.
"
My
parents
adored
it
.
"
207
Matilda
longed
for
her
parents
to
be
good
and
loving
and
understanding
and
honourable
and
intelligent
.
The
fact
that
they
were
none
of
these
things
was
something
she
had
to
put
up
with
.
It
was
not
easy
to
do
so
.
But
the
new
game
she
had
invented
of
punishing
one
or
both
of
them
each
time
they
were
beastly
to
her
made
her
life
more
or
less
bearable
.

Being
very
small
and
very
young
,
the
only
power
Matilda
had
over
anyone
in
her
family
was
brainpower
.
For
sheer
cleverness
she
could
run
rings
around
them
all
.
But
the
fact
remained
that
any
five
-
year
-
old
girl
in
any
family
was
always
obliged
to
do
as
she
was
told
,
however
asinine
the
orders
might
be
.
Thus
she
was
always
forced
to
eat
her
evening
meals
out
of
TV
-
dinner
-
trays
in
front
of
the
dreaded
box
.
She
always
had
to
stay
alone
on
weekday
afternoons
,
and
whenever
she
was
told
to
shut
up
,
she
had
to
shut
up
.
209
Her
safety
-
valve
,
the
thing
that
prevented
her
from
going
round
the
bend
,
was
the
fun
of
devising
and
dishing
out
these
splendid
punishments
,
and
the
lovely
thing
was
that
they
seemed
to
work
,
at
any
rate
for
short
periods
.
The
father
in
particular
became
less
cocky
and
unbearable
for
several
days
after
receiving
a
dose
of
Matilda
s
magic
medicine
.

The
parrot
-
in
-
the
-
chimney
affair
quite
definitely
cooled
both
parents
down
a
lot
and
for
over
a
week
they
were
comparatively
civil
to
their
small
daughter
.
But
alas
,
this
couldn
t
last
.
The
next
flare
-
up
came
one
evening
in
the
sitting
-
room
.
Mr
.
Wormwood
had
just
returned
from
work
.
