Emil And the Detectives (1929)
“They stood in front of the flower shop, right where they said they would be, and kept looking at the clock. A lot of people walked past, with suitcases and trunks and boxes and briefcases and bouquets of flowers. But Emil was nowhere to be seen.
“He’s probably gotten a lot bigger, huh?” said Pony the Hat, pushing her little nickel-plated bicycle back and forth. She actually wasn’t supposed to take it, but she whined for so long that Grandma finally said, “Oh go on, bring it along, you silly goo...se!” Now the silly goose was in a good mood and couldn’t wait to see the look of admiration on Emil’s face. “He’ll think it’s the best bike ever,” she said, and she couldn’t have been more sure of herself.
Grandma was getting nervous. “I just wish I knew what was happening. It’s already twenty past six. That train should have been here by now.”
She hemmed and hawed a few more minutes. Then she sent the little girl off to find out what happened.
Naturally, Pony the Hat took her bicycle with her.MoreLess
