THE RAILWAY CHILDREN - 14

  "I'm not sending the pram back, Bert," said Mrs Perks, when she heard this. "So don't ask me to."

  'I - I won't," said Perks, quietly.

  "And other people said you  were kind and polite and hardworking," said Bobbie. "They wanted to give you a birthday present. The old gentleman gave Peter a pound for you. He said you were a man who was good at his work. We thought you would like -"

  "Stop!" Perks said suddenly. "I take back every word I said. I - I don't know if I was ever so pleased....not only with the presents, but with the kind thoughts of our neighbours. They're the best presents of all, aren't they, Nell?"

  "They are!" agreed his wife, happily.

  Perks looked at the children. "You'll stay to tea, won't you?" he said.

  "Oh, yes please!" they said.
