"What do you mean, little boy--closing up my window?" "What window?" asked Diamond. "You stuffed hay into it three times last night. I had to blow it out again three times." "You can't mean this little hole! It isn't a window; it's a hole in my bed." "I did not say it was a window: I said it was my window." "But it can't be a window, because windows are holes to see out of." "Well, that's just what I made this window for." "But you are outside: you can't want a window." "You are quite mistaken. Windows are to see out of, you say. Well, I'm in my house, and I want windows to see out of it." "But you've made a window into my bed." "Well, your mother has got three windows into my dancing room, and you have three into my garret." "But I heard father say, when my mother wanted him to make a window through the wall, that it was against the law, for it would look into Mr. Dyves's garden." |
