“This is why I shall not tell you in this story about all the days when nothing happened. You will not catch me saying, 'thus the sad days passed slowly by'--or 'the years rolled on their weary course'--or 'time went on'--because it is silly; of course time goes on--whether you say so or not. So I shall just tell you the nice, interesting parts--and in between you will understand that we had our meals and got up and went to bed, and dull things like that.” YearsStoriesCoursesInterestingNiceHappenedGoes OnBedSillyMealsDullWearyCatch MeTime Goes OnSad Day Book:The Railway Children Source: The Railway Children
“The ones as big as sheep were easier to avoid, because you could see them coming, but when they flew in at the window and curled up under your eiderdown, and you did not find them till you went to bed, it was always a shock. The ones this size did not eat people, only lettuces, but they always scorched the sheets and pillowcases dreadfully.” PeopleBigsEasierBedWindowSizeShockDragonsSheepSheetsFlewLettucePillowcases Book:THE BOOK OF DRAGONS: 8 Dragon Tales from Edith Nesbit author The Railway Children Source: THE BOOK OF DRAGONS: 8 Dragon Tales from Edith Nesbit author The Railway Children
