Chapter 10 Part 2

Part 2

A

1."I like watching them burn," he said."That's horrible!" I cried.

2."Stop doing it!" "Let's see you stop me,"he said.

3.At that point I had pushed him with all my might and he had crashed sideways on to the flagstones.

4.His magnifying-glass had splintered into many pieces and he had leapt up shrieking, "My father is going to get you for this!"

5.Then he had run off, presumably to find his wealthy dad.

B

1.That was the last time I had seen Bruno Jerkins until now.

2.I doubted very much that he was about to be turned into a mouse, although I must confess that I was secretly hoping it might happen.

3.Either way, I didn't envy him being up there in front of all those witches.

4."Darling boy," cooed The Grand High Witch from up on the platform.

5."I have your chocolates all rrready for you.

C

1.Do come up here firrrst and say hello to all these lovely ladies." Her voice was quite different now.

2.It was soft and gentle and absolutely dripping with syrup.

3.Bruno was looking a bit bewildered, but he allowed himself to be led up on to the platform, where he stood beside The Grand High Witch and said, "Okay, where are my six bars of chocolate?"

4.I saw the witch who had let him in quietly putting the chain back on the door-handles.

D

1.Bruno didn't notice this.He was too busy asking for his chocolate.

2."The time is now vun minute before half-past thrrree!" announced The Grand High Witch.

3."What the heck's going on?" Bruno asked.

4.He wasn't frightened, but he wasn't looking exactly comfortable either.

5."What is this?" he said."Gimme my chocolate!"

6."Thirty seconds to go!" cried The Grand High Witch, gripping Bruno by the arm.

7.Bruno shook himself clear and stared at her.

E

1.She stared back at him, smiling with the lips of her mask.

2.Every witch in the audience was staring at Bruno.

3."Tventy seconds!" cried The Grand High Witch.

4."Gimme the chocolate!" shouted Bruno, becoming suddenly suspicious.

5."Gimme the chocolate and let me out of here!"

F

1."Fifteen seconds!" cried The Grand High Witch.

2."Will one of you crazy punks kindly tell me what all this is about?" shouted Bruno.

3."Ten seconds!" cried The Grand High Witch.

4."Nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one...zero! Vee have ignition!"

5.I could have sworn I heard an alarm-clock ringing.I saw Bruno jump.

G

1.He jumped as though someone had stuck a hatpin deep into his bottom and he yelled "Ow!" 2.He jumped so high that he landed on a small table up there on the stage, and he started hopping about on the top of this table, waving his arms and yelling his head off.

3.Then suddenly he became silent.

4.His whole body stiffened.

5."The alarm has gone off!" shrieked The Grand High Witch.

H

1."The Mouse-Maker is beginning to vurrrk!"

2.She started hopping about on the platform and clapping her gloved hands together and then she shouted out,"This smelly brrrat, this filthy scum This horrid little louse Vill very very soon becomeA lovely little MOUSE!"

3.Bruno was getting smaller by the second.

I

1.I could see him shrinking...

2.Now his clothes seemed to be disappearing and brown fur was growing all over his body...

3.Suddenly he had a tail...And then he had whiskers...Now he had four feet...

4.It was all happening so quickly...It was a matter of seconds only...

5.And all at once he wasn't there any more...A small brown mouse was running around on the table top...

J

1."Bravo!" yelled the audience.

2."She's done it! It works! It's fantastic! It's colossal! It's the greatest yet! You are a miracle, O Brainy One!"

3.They were all standing up and clapping and cheering and The Grand High Witch produced a mouse-trap from the folds of her dress and started to set it.

4.Oh no! I thought..I don't want to see this! Bruno Jenkins may have been a bit of a stinker but I'm dashed if I want to watch him having his head chopped off!

K

1."There is he?" snapped The Grand High Witch, searching the platform.

2."Vhere has that mouse got to?She couldn't find him.

3.Clever Bruno must have jumped down off the table and scampered off into some corner or even down a small hole.

4.Thank heavens for that.

5."It matters not!" shouted The Grand High Witch."Silence and sit down!"
