ОглавлениеOn the Mappin Terraces.
AUNTIE (who is giving a treat to a collection of small nephews and nieces). Those are the Bears. Stand well back, dear, there's nothing to prevent their jumping right over the ditch, as far as I can see, to the very spot we're standing on.... Better take Auntie's hand, Willie, in case you're frightened. Joan, I wouldn't go up there, dear, or you may fall over and break your neck. Keep together, chicks, and don't lose sight of Auntie whatever you do. There's many a poor child got lost in the Zoo through lagging behind, and never been heard of again.
WILLIE (green with alarm). And what happened to them, Auntie? Did the lions get them?
AUNTIE (absentmindedly, but anxious to please the child). I expect so, dear.
