A Magic Castle

“The tables and chairs,” said Avon, “are just the way I like them. Even the pictures on the wall are to my fancy. Oh, Edward, someone has gone to a great deal of trouble...”

Suddenly, Avon felt very happy. “Just think,” he said, “to go on a long trip, to comes so far from where you live, and then—then to come upon a magic castle which has all the comforts of home. Oh, Edward, this has been the most exciting adventure of all. I believe I am happy at last.”

-Avi, The End of the Beginning, 128, 131.
