From
then
on
,
Matilda
would
visit
the
library
only
once
a
week
in
order
to
take
out
new
books
and
return
the
old
ones
.
Her
own
small
bedroom
now
became
her
reading
-
room
and
there
she
would
sit
and
read
most
afternoons
,
often
with
a
mug
of
hot
chocolate
beside
her
.
She
was
not
quite
tall
enough
to
reach
things
around
the
kitchen
,
but
she
kept
a
small
box
in
the
outhouse
which
she
brought
in
and
stood
on
in
order
to
get
whatever
she
wanted
.
Mostly
it
was
hot
chocolate
she
made
,
warming
the
milk
in
a
saucepan
on
the
stove
before
mixing
it
.
Occasionally
she
made
Bovril
or
Ovaltine
.
It
was
pleasant
to
take
a
hot
drink
up
to
her
room
and
have
it
beside
her
as
she
sat
in
her
silent
room
reading
in
the
empty
house
in
the
afternoons
.
The
books
transported
her
into
new
worlds
and
introduced
her
to
amazing
people
who
lived
exciting
lives
.
She
went
on
olden
-
day
sailing
ships
with
Joseph
Conrad
.
She
went
to
Africa
with
Ernest
Hemingway
and
to
India
with
Rudyard
Kipling
.
She
travelled
all
over
the
world
while
sitting
in
her
little
room
in
an
English
village
.

Matilda
s
parents
owned
quite
a
nice
house
with
three
bedrooms
upstairs
,
while
on
the
ground
floor
there
was
a
dining
-
room
and
a
living
-
room
and
a
kitchen
.
Her
father
was
a
dealer
in
second
-
hand
cars
and
it
seemed
he
did
pretty
well
at
it
.
73
"
Sawdust
"
,
he
would
say
proudly
,
"
is
one
of
the
great
secrets
of
my
success
.
And
it
costs
me
nothing
.
I
get
it
free
from
the
sawmill
.

"
What
do
you
use
it
for
?
"
Matilda
asked
him
.
"
Ha
!
"
the
father
said
.
"
Wouldn
t
you
like
to
know
.
"
75
"
I
don
t
see
how
sawdust
can
help
you
to
sell
second
-
hand
cars
,
daddy
.
"
76
"
That
s
because
you
re
an
ignorant
little
twit
,
"
the
father
said
.
His
speech
was
never
very
delicate
but
Matilda
was
used
to
it
.
She
also
knew
that
he
liked
to
boast
and
she
would
egg
him
on
shamelessly
.
77
"
You
must
be
very
clever
to
find
a
use
for
something
that
costs
nothing
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
wish
I
could
do
it
.

"
You
couldn
t
,
"
the
father
said
.
"
You
re
too
stupid
.
But
I
don
t
mind
telling
young
Mike
here
about
it
seeing
he
ll
be
joining
me
in
the
business
one
day
.
"
Ignoring
Matilda
,
he
turned
to
his
son
and
said
,
"
I
m
always
glad
to
buy
a
car
when
some
fool
has
been
crashing
the
gears
so
badly
they
re
all
worn
out
and
rattle
like
mad
.
I
get
it
cheap
.
Then
all
I
do
is
mix
a
lot
of
sawdust
with
the
oil
in
the
gear
-
box
and
it
runs
as
sweet
as
a
nut
.
"
79
"
How
long
will
it
run
like
that
before
it
starts
rattling
again
?
"
Matilda
asked
him
.
80
"
Long
enough
for
the
buyer
to
get
a
good
distance
away
,
"
the
father
said
,
grinning
.
"
About
a
hundred
miles
.
