　　At the farmhouse1
　　That first meal in the Welsh farmhouse was a very happy one. Mrs Evans was excited to havevisitors, and Effans, her husband, beamed all round as he carved great slices of ham, tongue andchicken. There were a lot of ‘look yous’ and ‘whateffers’, and Kiki was especially interested in theup-and-down song-like way the two Welsh folk talked.
　　‘Wipe your feet, whateffer,’ she said to Mrs Evans suddenly. Mrs Evans looked surprised. Shehadn’t heard the parrot speak before.
　　‘Shut the door, look you,’ commanded Kiki, raising her crest2. The children squealed3 withlaughter.
　　‘She’s speaking Welsh already!’ said Dinah. ‘Hey, watch her, Jack4 – she’s absolutely wolfingthose raspberries!’
　　Jack put a plate over the bowl, and Kiki was angry. She made a noise like the car changing gearand Effans looked startled.
　　‘It’s all right – it’s only Kiki,’ said Jack. ‘She can make all kinds of noises. You should hear hergive her imitation of a train whistling in a tunnel.’
　　Kiki opened her beak5 and swelled6 up her throat as if she was about to make this horrible noise.
　　Mrs Mannering spoke7 hastily. ‘Jack! Don’t let Kiki make that noise. If she does you’ll have totake her upstairs and put her in your bedroom.’
　　‘Bad Kiki, naughty Kiki,’ said the parrot solemnly, recognizing the stern tone in MrsMannering’s voice. She flew to Jack’s shoulder and cuddled there, eyeing the plate that he had putover the bowl of raspberries. She gave his ear a little nip.
　　What a meal that was for six very hungry travellers who had had nothing but sandwiches all daylong! Even Mrs Mannering ate more than she had ever eaten before at one meal. Mrs Evans keptbeaming round as she filled the plates.
