Chapter 15 Part 3

Part 3

A

1.There came a knock on the bedroom door.

2."Vot is it this time?" shouted The Grand High Witch.

3."It is we ancient ones," said a meek voice from behind the door.

4."It is six o'clock and we have come to collect the bottles that you promised us, O Your Grandness."

5.I saw her crossing the carpet towards the door.

B

1.The door was opened and then I saw a whole lot of feet and shoes beginning to enter the room.

2.They were coming in slowly and hesitantly, as though the owners of those shoes were frightened of entering.

3."Come in! Come in!" snapped The Grand High Witch.

4."Do not stand out there dithering in the corrri-dor! I don't have all night!"

5.I saw my chance.I jumped out from behind the bedpost and ran like lightning towards the open door.

C

1.I jumped over several pairs of shoes on the way and in three seconds I was out in the corridor,still clutching the precious bottle to my chest.

2.No one had seen me.There were no shouts of Mouse! Mouse!

3.All I could hear were the voices of the ancient witches burbling their silly sentences about 

"How kind Your Grandness is" and all the rest of it.

4.I went scampering down the corridor to the stairs and up one flight.

5.I went to the fifth floor and then along the corridor again until I came to the door of my own bedroom.

D

1.Thank goodness there was no one in sight.

2.Using the bottom of the little bottle, I began tap-tap-tapping on the door.

3.Tap tap tap rap, I went.Tap tap tap...tap tap tap...

4.Would my grandmother hear me? I thought that she must.

5.The bottle made quite a loud tap each time it struck.Tap tap tap...tap tap tap...

E

1.Just so long as nobody came along the corridor.But the door didn't open.

2.I decided to take a risk."Grandmamma!" I shouted as loudly as I possibly could.

3."Grandmamma! It's me! Let me in!"I heard her feet coming across the carpet and the door opened.

4.I went in like an arrow."I've done it!" I cried, jumping up and down.

F

1."I've got it, Grandmamma! Look, here it is! I've got a whole bottle of it!"

2.She closed the door.She bent down and picked me up and hugged me.

3."Oh my darling!" she cried."Thank heavens you're safe!"

4.She took the little bottle from me and read the label aloud.

5." 'Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse-Maker!' " she read.

G

1." 'This bottle contains five hundred doses!'

2.You brilliant darling boy! You're a wonder! You're a marvel! How on earth did you get out of her room?"

3."I nipped out when the ancient witches were coming in," I told her.

4."It was all a bit hairy, Grandmamma.I wouldn't want to do it again."

5."I saw her too!" my grandmother said."I know you did, Grandmamma.

H

1.I heard you talking to each other.

2.Didn't you think she was absolutely foul?"

3."She's a murderer," my grandmother said.

4."She's the most evil woman in the entire world!"

5."Did you see her mask?" I asked."It's amazing," my grandmother said.

I

1."It looks just like a real face.

2.Even though I knew it was a mask, I still couldn't tell.

3.Oh, my darling!" she cried, giving me a hug.

4."I thought I'd never see you again! I'm so happy you got away!"
