　　Chapter 12 JULIAN LOOKS ROUND
　　The woman brought them some food. It was only bread and butter and jam, with some hot coffee todrink. The four children were not really hungry, but they were very thirsty, and they drank the coffeeeagerly.
　　George opened the window and called softly down to Timmy. 'Tim! Here's something for you!'
