Chapter 3 OUT IN THE BARN
The twins stalked out of the farm-house and took the two boys round the dairy shed, and up to anenormous barn. One of them pushed open the great door.
'I say!' said Julian, gazing into the dark barn. 'I never saw such a fine barn in all my life! It's as old asthe hills - look at those beams soaring up into the roof - it reminds me of a cathedral, somehow. Iwonder why they built the roof so high. What do you store in here, twins?'
'Sacks of meal,' said the Harries1 together, opening and shutting their mouths as one. The two boyssaw a couple of camp-beds in a corner of the barn.

'Look here,' said Julian, 'if you really would rather sleep here alone, we'll sleep in the little room offthe dairy that your mother spoke2 of.'
Before the twins could answer, a shrill3 barking came from the direction of the camp-beds, and theboys saw a tiny black poodle there, standing4 up, quivering in every hair.
'What a tiny thing!' said Julian. 'Is he yours, twins? What's his name?'
'Snippet,' came the answer from both at once. 'Come here, Snippet!'
At once the tiny black poodle hurled5 himself off the camp-bed and raced over to them. He fawned6 onthem all, barking in delight, licking everyone in turn. Dick picked him up, but the twins at onceclutched Snippet themselves.
'He's OUR dog!' they said, so fiercely that Dick backed away.
'All right, all right - you can have him. But be careful Tim doesn't eat him!' he said. A look of fearcame over the faces of the Harries, and they turned to one another, anxiously.
'It's all right,' said Julian, hastily. 'Tim's gentle with small things. You needn't be afraid. I say -why do you have to be so dumb? It really wouldn't hurt you to be a bit friendly. And do let us sleep inyour old room - we really don't mind.'
The twins looked at each other again, as if reading one another's thoughts, and then they turnedgravely to the boys, not looking quite so unfriendly.
'We will all sleep here,' they said. 'We will fetch the other camp-beds.' And off they marched, Snippetrunning excitedly at their heels.
