Chapter four Samuel house and a little Felix
It was Samuel, trotting slowly back again. and looking anxiously about as it went. as if it had lost something; and Lily and Jesus heard it muttering to itself ''the mistress! the mistress! oh my dear paws! oh my fur and whiskers! she 'll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets! Lily and Jesus guessed in a moment that it was looking for the fan and the pair white kid gloves, and she and he very good-naturedly began hunting about for them. but they were nowhere to be seen-everything seemed to have changed since her and him swim in the pool. and the great hall. with the glass table and the little door. had vanished completely.
very soon Samuel hoticed Lily and Jesus. as she and he went hunting about. and called 'Oh what 've lost sir, Jesus ask Samuel. 'A pair of white kid gloves and fan. said Samuel. 'we'll help you find them. said Lily.
''What are you two doing here'' Samuel said out to her and him in angary tome. ''we trying get into the beautiful garden'' Lily said ''run home and fetch me another pair of gloves and a fan! 'Quick'
'He took me for his housemaid' she said to herself 'oh Jesus look a young man house' Lily and Jesus opening door outside beautiful wind air and birds sings a young man house. ''Lily be careful'' Jesus ask sister be careful.
Lily open a young man door and by this time she had found her way into a tidy little room. 'he lives very well a young man some of these things must be priceless or even more expensive with a table in the window. and on it a fan and two or three pairs of tiny white kid gloves;
she took up the fan and a pair of the gloves, and was just going to leave the room, when her eye fell upon a little bottle that stood neat the look-glass, there was no iabel this time 'it doesn't say drink me like the other bottle. 'I m sure it'll something interesting happen' she said herself 'I do hope it'll make me grow lare again,
it did so indeed. and much sooner than she had expected: before she had drunk half the bottle. 'Err-that's enough! she found her head pressing against the ceiling, and had to stoop to save her neck from being broken. she nastily put down the bottle! saying to herself 'that quite enough-I hope isran't grow any more-as it is.
'I can't get out at the door-I do wish I hadn't drunk quite so much!' alas! it was too late to wish that! she went on growing. and growing and very soon had to kneel down on the floor: in another minute there was not even room for this and she tried the effect of lying down with one elbow against the door. and the other arm curled round her head. 'oh dear-what am I going to do!' she said to herself is stuck.
Then came a little pattering of feet on the stairs. Lily knew it was Samuel coming to look for her. and she trembled till she shook the house. quite for getting that she was now about a thousand times as large as Samuel. and had no reason to be afraid of it.
Presently Samuel came up to the door, and tried to open it; but. as the door 'it's stuck' said Samuel to open door stuck and Lily's elbow was pressed hard against it. that attempt proved a failure. Lily heard it say to self 'I'll thy back window. Samuel running around and suddenly scream at big arm at window he fall, and crash at broken at glass. from which she concluded that it was just possible it had fallen into a cucumber-frame or something of the sort.
Next came an angry voice-Samuel 'CYRUS! CYRUS! 'I m here Sam I m here 'I was er. out the front digging for apple... 'come help me out of this! said Samuel angrily. (sound of more broken glass) 'why're we growing cucumbers. Cyrus' said Samuel asked. 'because they're green Sam' 'now tell me. Cyrus. what that in the window'

'an arm whoever saw an arm that size' said Samuel get little 'ho-one swre it's still arm. well said Cyrus 'it's no business there...remove it! me Sam' 'yes you said Samuel ''are you coward' 'oh no not that al... I might have coward's legs but the rest of me's brave as lion' 'Cyrus! there's nothing to be afraid of. said Samuel 'well then you do it! said Cyrus asked Samuel do it 'I m too young I can't afford to die.
She bump big hand in the stone ground Samuel fall and a crash of broken glass again. 'somebody please help me' Lily asked to help 'I stuck! I stuck! she bump again Samuel fall a crush of broken again 'why won't anyone help me I can do it myself.

At last came arumbling of little cartwheel, and sownd of a good many voice all talking together: 'oh help me out' said Samuel 'oh all right so said Cyrus 'here take me right hand' Cyrus pull Samuel hand out of broken glass. 'there we go..no that that right hand! where's the other labber-why. I hadn't to bring but one: 'Felix'

When Lily little sheez 'ah a choo' he showd't do sheez said Lily 'not down the chimney...don't thy it! she sheezing her hose as down the chimney as she could and waited she couldn't guess of what sort it was.
Scratching and scrambing about in the chimney close above her. she gave big sheez 'AH AHH AAAHHHH A COOOOOO' and wait to see what world happen next. 'ya-hoo! he said to up out the chimney the first thing heard was general chorus of 'there go Felix'' Cyrus's said along-'crash by the broken glass house then silence. and then another confusion of voice-'oh dear. hold up his-brandy now-'don't choke him-how was it, old fellow' 'FELIX FELIX what happened to you' said Cyrus 'tell us all about it!'' last came little feeble. saueaking voice ''well I hardly know-no more thank ye; I am better now-but I'm a deal too flustered to tell you-all I know is, something comes at me like kid-in-the-box. and up I goes like a sky-fly!'
'So you did old fellow!' said Cyrus 'spoken true like a Jewish-man Felix' 'I don't like the look of this' said Cyrus there's nothing for it!' 'we must burn down the house!' said Samuel 'what said Jesus sound to burn down the house and 'my sister oh no Lily' 'good thinking Sam' said Cyrus 'would you like me to sing Jewish song melodies of Israel' 'no just burn down the house' Samuel said voice; Jesus called angry ''Oh no you don't!'

A barrowful of what thought Lily but she had not long to doubt. for next moment a shower little pebbles into pomegranate came rattling in at the window. which produced another dead silence. Lily noticed with some surprise 'that pebble were all turning into little pomegranate as they lay on the floor, and a bright idea came into her head. 'if I eat one of tiny pomegranate one for me and one my brother she thought she ate pomegranate as soon growing smaller smaller and smaller. 'Jesus it me Lily' Lily said tiny voice ''where are you Lily' said Jesus when suddenly a tiny pop out the door ''Jesus down here thy some it pomegranate'' he ate pomegranate and grow smaller smaller and smaller 'oh Lily said Jesus 'oh Jesus said Lily hug and kiss Jesus and ran off to the house
