AN EXCERPT FROM VERA & LINUS Linus went to the chest in the room at the back of the house, the chest he had kept closed since 6 May. He unlocked it with a little iron key, saying, --Key, I have kept you on a string about my neck these many years. Serve me now. The chest opened. Inside was a girl, bound and gagged. She began to wriggle violently. Her eyes blinked and blinked in the sudden light. --Vera! called Linus. Vera came in from the next room wearing her dust-clothes as though recently come from a motorcar. --Here is your present, he said. Vera looked in the chest. A smile ran along her hand out onto Linus's shoulder. --What will we do with her? she asked. Linus reached down and caught the tied up girl by the throat. --That's not all, he said. There're two more beneath! He yanked the first up out of the box and threw her onto the ground by her neck. Sure enough, there were two others underneath. --How grand! Vera gave a little cry and did a jump in the air. --Can I name them? she asked. --They have names already, said Linus, but we can remove them if we want. And why shouldn't we? He yanked out the two remaining girls and threw them beside the first. All were furiously blinking and wriggling. Beneath the girls there was a lake and a sailboat. --Shall we? asked Linus, for the sun was shining and a proper breeze had just begun. --But won't they escape? asked Vera. --I shouldn't think so, said Linus, but to be sure . . . He gave Vera a knife, and she cut an ankle off of each. Then they went sailing.
