15 Good-bye Georgina
When Mr Wonka had finished reading the recipe, he carefullyfolded the paper and put it back into his pocket. 'A very, verycomplicated mixture,' he said. 'So can you wonder it took meso long to get it just right?' He held the bottle up high andgave it a little shake and the pills rattled1 loudly inside it, likeglass beads2. 'Now, sir,' he said, offering the bottle first toGrandpa George. 'Will you take one pill or two?'
'Will you solemnly swear,' said Grandpa George, 'that it will dowhat you say it will and nothing else?'
Mr Wonka placed his free hand on his heart. 'I swear it,' hesaid.
Charlie edged forward. Grandpa Joe came with him. The twoof them always stayed close together. 'Please excuse me forasking,' Charlie said, 'but are you really absolutely sure you'vegot it quite right?'
'Whatever makes you ask a funny question like that?' said MrWonka. 'I was thinking of the gum you gave to VioletBeauregarde,' Charlie said.
'So that's what's bothering you!' cried Mr Wonka. 'But don'tyou understand, my dear boy, that I never did give that gumto Violet? She snatched it without permission. And I shouted,"Stop! Don't! Spit it out!" But the silly girl took no notice ofme. Now Wonka-Vite is altogether different. I am offering thesepills to your grandparents. I am recommending them. Andwhen taken according to my instructions, they are as safe assugar-candy!'
'Of course they are!' cried Mr Bucket. 'What are you waitingfor, all of you!' An extraordinary change had come over MrBucket since he had entered the Chocolate Room. Normally hewas a pretty timid sort of person. A lifetime devoted3 toscrewing caps on to the tops of toothpaste tubes in atoothpaste factory had turned him into a rather shy and quietman. But the sight of the marvellous Chocolate Factory hadmade his spirits soar. What is more, this business of the pillsseemed to have given him a terrific kick. 'Listen!' he cried,going up to the edge of the bed. 'Mr Wonka's offering you anew life! Grab it while you can!'
'It's a delicious sensation,' Mr Wonka said. 'And it's very quick.
You lose a year a second. Exactly one year falls away fromyou every second that goes by!' He stepped forward andplaced the bottle of pills gently in the middle of the bed. 'Sohere you are, my dears,' he said. 'Help yourselves!'
'Come on!' cried all the Oompa-Loompas together.
'Come on, old friends, and do what's right!
Come make your
lives as bright as bright!Just take a dose of this delight!Thisheavenly magic
