Peter and Ann had gone off to a party, wearing their best clothes and looking ever so fancy. The house was very quiet and still. It felt as though it were thinking its own thoughts, or dreaming perhaps.
Down in the living-room Mother was reading the paper with her spectacles perched on her nose. Father was in the garden busily doing nothing. Grandfather was on the kitchen sofa with his feet up. And the house stood very quietly around them all, dreaming its own dreams, or thinking perhaps.
Upstairs in the nursery the sunlight poured in at the window, flickering on the white walls, dancing over the beds where the babies were lying.
“I say, move over! You’re right in my eyes,” said William in a loud voice.
“Sorry!” said the sunlight. “But I can’t help it. I’ve got to get across this room somehow. Orders is orders. I must move from East to West in a day and my way lies through this nursery. Sorry! Shut your eyes and you won’t notice me.”
The gold shaft of sunlight lengthened across the room. It was obviously moving as quickly as it could in order to oblige William.
“How soft, how sweet you are! I love you,” said Maria, holding out her hands to its shining warmth.
“Good girl,” said the sunlight approvingly, and moved up over her cheeks and into her hair with a light, caressing movement. “Do you like the feel of me?” it said, as though it loved being praised.
“Dee-licious!” said Maria, with a happy sigh.
“Chatter, chatter, chatter! I never heard such a place for chatter. There’s always somebody talking in this room,” said a shrill voice at the window.
William and Maria looked up. It was the Rook who lived on the top of the chimney.
“I like that,” said William, standing up quickly. “What about yourself? All day long on the roofs and telegraph poles. Roaring and screaming and shouting — you’d talk the leg off a chair, you would. Worse than any sparrow.”
The Rook cocked his head on one side and looked down at him from his perch on the windowframe. “Well,” he said, “I have my business to attend to. Consultations, discussions, arguments, bargaining. And that, of course, necessitates a certain amount of — er — quiet conversation—”
“Quiet!” exclaimed Maria, laughing heartily.
“And I wasn’t talking to you, young lady,” said the Rook, hopping down on to the window-sill. “And you needn’t talk — anyway. I heard you for several hours on end last Saturday week. Goodness, I thought you’d never stop — you kept me awake all night.”
“That wasn’t talking,” said Maria. “I was—” She paused. “I mean, I had a pain.”
“Humph!” said the Rook, and hopped on to the back of Maria’s bed. He sidled along it until he came to the head of the bed. Then he said in a soft, wheedling voice: “Well, Maria Smith, anything for the old fellow today, eh?”
Maria brought herself into a sitting position by supporting her body with her both hands. “There’s the other half of my arrowroot biscuit,” she said, and held it out in her round, fat fist. The Rook swooped down, plucked it out of her hand and flew back to the window-sill. He began nibbling it greedily.
“Thank you!” said William, meaningly, but the Rook was too busy eating to notice the rebuke. “I said ‘Thank you!'” said William a little louder.
The Rook looked up. “Eh — what? Oh, get along, boy, get along. I’ve no time for such frills and furbelows.” And he gobbled up the last of his biscuit.
