The Phoenix lowered its voice impressively. "My boy, we are going to install this bell in your room, and the pushbutton on the base of that telephone pole. When I arrive here at night, I shall press the button to let you know that I am ready to go. A magnificent idea, isn't it?" It did not seem very practical to David. "Well, Phoenix, that's a good idea," he said carefully. "But how are we going to hide the wires? And what about the noise of the bell?" "Nothing to it, my boy! The wires? There are wires between your house and the telephone pole already--one more would not be noticed. The noise? You have a pillow on your bed, under which the bell can be muffled." "Yes, that's true." It still sounded impractical. "Just imagine it!" the Phoenix continued enthusiastically. "Perhaps later we can install another bell at this end. RKNESS I CAN DO IT QUITE SAFELY THE QUESTION NOW IS HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE ARRIVED THAT MY BOY IS THE NUB OR CRUX OF THE SITUATION A DIFFICULT PROBLEM YOU WILL ADMIT BUT I HAVE WORKED OUT THE SOLUTION THE PHOENIX LOWERED ITS VOICE IMPRESSIVELY MY BOY WE ARE GOING TO INSTALL THIS BELL IN YOUR ROOM AND THE PUSHBUTTON ON THE BASE OF THAT TELEPHONE POLE WHEN I ARRIVE HERE AT NIGHT I SHALL PRESS THE BUTTON TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM READY TO GO A MAGNIFICENT IDEA ISN'T IT IT DID NOT SEEM VERY PRACTICAL TO DAVID WELL PHOENIX THAT'S A GOOD IDEA HE SAID CAREFULLY BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO HIDE THE WIRES AND WHAT ABOUT THE NOISE OF THE BELL NOTHING TO IT MY BOY THE WIRES THERE ARE WIRES BETWEEN YOUR HOUSE AND THE TELEPHONE POLE ALREADY ONE MORE WOULD NOT BE NOTICED THE NOISE YOU HAVE A PILLOW ON YOUR BED UNDER WHICH THE BELL CAN BE MUFFLED YES THAT'S TRUE IT STILL SOUNDED IMPRACTICAL JUST IMAGINE IT THE PHOENIX CONTINUED ENTHUSIASTICALLY PERHAPS LATER WE CAN INSTALL ANOTHER BELL AT THIS END
