CHAPTER TWO The Big House
A cold wind blew rain into the tree house. Jack shivered.He was wearing an old overcoat and ragged trousers.Annie wore a scarf, a shawl, and a long red wool dress.They both wore scuffed, worn boots.
"So where are we?" said Jack. He and Annie looked out the window.
The tree house had landed in a tree at the edge of a green meadow dotted with woolly white sheep.Next to the meadow was a narrow lane. It ran uphill between low stone walls.Through the drizzle, Jack could see mist-covered mountains in the distance and a flash of silver sea.
"It looks like a scene in a fairy tale," said Annie.
"Yeah, a fairy tale with bad weather," said Jack.
"I wonder where the Big House is," said Annie.
"I don't know, but I'd like to get inside it now," said Jack.
"Me too," said Annie, shivering. "Let's go."
Jack crammed his cold hands into the pockets of his torn coat.In one pocket, he felt his notebook and pencil.In the other, he felt the Irish whistle. "I've got the whistle," he said.
"Good," said Annie. She held her red skirt and started down the rope ladder. Jack climbed down after her.
Annie pulled her shawl tightly around her shoulders.Jack turned up the collar of his coat.As they tramped through the wet meadow, he felt cold water seeping through holes in his boots.
