Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
“From the trunk of the car they took out a number of burglarious instruments—a telescopic aluminum ladder for climbing the walls of the hotel, a jimmy (this is a burglar's tool for opening windows and doors that looks rather like a very powerful can opener), and some rope. Joe the Monster whispered a series of commands and in a trice the gang had run the ladder up the hotel wall to the room where Jeremy and Jemima lay fast asleep. Then, while Man-Mountain Fink, who was as strong and as big as he... sounds, held the foot of the ladder, Soapy Sam, who was a very tiny man but a very strong one, crept softly up the ladder and, after some quick work with the jimmy, slipped over the window sill into the room where the twins lay sleeping.
He had had his orders. He went first to Jemima's bed, whirled up the four corners of the sheet on which she was lying, and with her bundled up inside it, tied a knot out of the four corners so as to make her look like a bundle of washing. And almost before she could awake, he handed her softly out of the window and into the arms of Man-Mountain Fink.MoreLess
