They were in the big dark room with the red cur- tains. Uncle David walked in from the room with the bookcases, holding a box in his uplifted hand. "Look here," he said to Stephen. "What's become of all my balloons?"

Ia bersandar berat dan berharap ia bisa meletakkan kepalanya di pangkuannya, tapi mungkin ia pergi tidur, dan itu akan salah untuk pergi ke tidur sementara David paman masih berbicara. Paman David berjalan tentang ruang dengan tangan di saku, berbicara dengan nenek. Sekarang dan kemudian dia akan berjalan ke lampu dan miring, mengintip ke atas tempat teduh, mengedipkan mata di dalam terang, seolah-olah ia diharapkan untuk menemukan som ething sana."Itu adalah hanya dalam darah, saya mengatakan kepadanya," kata David paman. "Aku bilang dia hanya perlu datang dan mendapatkan dia, dan membuatnya tetap.
