was very angry and I looked hard at the glass and eyes got all hot and strange. Then I said "Push it over and the glass fell over Children often get strange ideas,' Miss Hone thought to herself. But she put the empty glass in the middle of the tab e and said Oh? Can you do it again, Matilda? Matilda sat at her desk and looked hard at the glass on the table.

And the glass moved and fell over Miss Honey's mouth dropped open. She looked across at the child who was sitting behind the desk. Matilda smiled. "I did it much quicker that time Miss Honey shut her eyes to calm herself then she opened them and said to Matilda. Will you come back and have tea at my little house? I want to talk to you Miss Honey lived outside the village. Matilda walked next to her along the country road. Do you live by yourself, Miss Honey?' she asked. "Yes, I do, said Miss Honey. It's a very small house. Suddenly. Matilda saw it between the trees. It had very small windows, and a little green wooden doo. The grass in the garden was almost as high as Matilda, and the big tree next to the house seemed to be trying to hide it from the rest of the world. Miss Honey opened the door and they went inside. The ceilings were very low, and the kitchen was not much bigger han a cupboard. In the living-room there were three boxes on the floor. Two to sit on, and one for a table. There was no real furniture Sit down: Miss Honey told Matilda. We'll have a nice cup of tea. And she went
into the kitchen to make it.
