The Wishing chair (14)

THE GRABBIT GNOMES

It was such fun to have a real pixie to play with !

Mollie and Peter went to their playroom every day and talked with Chinky, whom they had so cleverly rescued from the giant's castle.

He refused to have anything to eat, because he said he knew the fairies in the garden, and they would bring him anything he needed.

"Chinky, will you do something for us ? " asked Mollie.
"You know we can't be with the magic chair always to watch when it grows wings, but if you could watch it for us, and come  and tell us when you see it has wings, then we could rush to our playroom and go on another adventure.
It would be lovely if you'd do that. "

" Of course, " said Chinky, who was a most obliging, merry little fellow.
"I'll never take my eyes off the chair ! "

Well, will you believe it, that very night, just as Chinky was going off to sleep, and the playroom was in darkness, he felt a strange little wind blowing from somewhere; it was the chair waving its wings about !

Chinky was up in  trice, and ran out of the playroom to the house.

He knew which the children's room was, and he climbed up the old pear tree and knocked on the window.
