We'd better hurry up and find them, she advised us – and we only wished we could. Uncle Ernest, the cause of all the trouble, was big enough to look after himself and would probably emerge in the Spring to eat our lettuces as large as life. But Victoria and Albert – tucked, as we remembered them, side by side in their sleeping box like twin toy cars in a garage; emerging when the sun shone to eat their plums and take their baths; regarding us, when we picked them up, with inquisitively outstretched heads not the least like Tarzan and his spitting... Victoria on her first night with us, finding the door to the sleeping box by herself and going inside while Albert, with typical masculine blockheadedness, stuck his foreshell ostrich-fashion in a clump of grass and thought we couldn't see him... Tortoises do have character. We missed them very much.
