The Railway Children

By Edith Nesbit

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.
There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.
Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.
These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.
You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.
The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

Which phrase from the excerpt most clearly suggests what Tommy thinks a life at sea will bring?

The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes
Moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants
What strange things would they have seen
They came back to anchor at Kingsbridge

Kyle liked Lucy more than any other girl in the school, but he had an odd way of showing it.
When she walked ahead of him in line, he kicked at her shoe. When she passed him on the
school yard, he called her "Lucy the Loser." He even wrote a mean word on her homework
during the bus ride to school. But what puzzled Lucy the most was receiving an invitation to
Kyle's birthday party. Figuring that he was just planning a mean trick on her, Lucy decided not to
go. As Kyle eagerly awaited Lucy's arrival, Lucy talked on the phone to Jacob. When Kyle
finally realized that Lucy was not coming to his party, he was devastated.

The little grey mouse that lived in my wall prospered for many days on nibbles of my lunch. I'd
pack a meal before bed and, while I slept, he would take small bites of my lunch, which I left on
the counter. He'd take a cracker crumble here, and a bread crumb there, but he wouldn't take too
much and he'd always clean up after himself. Things were going quite well for him and I didn't
even know that he existed, until he got sloppy. One night while I slept, he ate all my chips and
left a big mess. When I awoke to this sight, I knew what had happened to my chips. The next
night he returned for another snack. He found a nice, delicious piece of cheese... lightly balanced
on a mousetrap. Now I don't have to share my chips anymore.

out again, but he did read about friends in his books.

The poem below describes an artist who idealizes his subjects - meaning he paints them as he would like to remember them, not as how they are in real life. The poem is a Petrarchan sonnet, which would normally follow the rhyme scheme noted at the left. How does the poem's break in this rhyme scheme in its final line help provide greater meaning in the poem?

a One face looks out from all his canvases,
b One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans:
b We found her hidden just behind those screens,
a That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
a A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
b nameless girl in freshest summer-greens,
b saint, an angel; -every canvass means

a The same one meaning, neither more nor less.
c He feeds upon her face by day and night,
d And she with true kind eyes looks back on him,
c Fair as the moon and joyful as the light: d Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim;
c Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright
d Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
