David would be needed to carry things. Regretfully, he waved his hand at the peak and whispered, "It shouldn't take long  I'll be back as soon as I can." Then he went around to the front door to see what could be done about speeding things up. [Illustration] Inside, everything was in confusion. DAVID WOULD BE NEEDED TO CARRY THINGS REGRETFULLY HE WAVED HIS HAND AT THE PEAK AND WHISPERED IT SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN THEN HE WENT AROUND TO THE FRONT DOOR TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT SPEEDING THINGS UP INSIDE EVERYTHING WAS IN CONFUSION
ight was almost too much to bear. He felt so tight and shivery inside that he didn't know whether he wanted to laugh, or cry, or both. And the really wonderful thing about the mountain was the way it _looked_ at him. He was certain that it was smiling at him, like an old friend who had been waiting for years to see him again. And when he closed his eyes, he seemed to hear a voice which whispered, "Come along, then, and climb." It would be so easy to go! The back yard was hedged in (with part of the hedge growing right across the toes of the mountain), but there was a hole in the privet large enough to crawl through. And just beyond the hedge the mountainside awaited him, going up and up in one smooth sweep until the green and tawny faded into hazy heights of rock. It was waiting for him. "Come and climb," it whispered, "come and climb." But there was a great deal to do first. They were going to move into the new house. The moving van was standing out in front, the car must be unloaded. NEVER SEEN A MOUNTAIN BEFORE THE SIGHT WAS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO BEAR HE FELT SO TIGHT AND SHIVERY INSIDE THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER HE WANTED TO LAUGH OR CRY OR BOTH AND THE REALLY WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN WAS THE WAY IT LOOKED AT HIM HE WAS CERTAIN THAT IT WAS SMILING AT HIM LIKE AN OLD FRIEND WHO HAD BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND WHEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES HE SEEMED TO HEAR A VOICE WHICH WHISPERED COME ALONG THEN AND CLIMB IT WOULD BE SO EASY TO GO THE BACK YARD WAS HEDGED IN WITH PART OF THE HEDGE GROWING RIGHT ACROSS THE TOES OF THE MOUNTAIN BUT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE PRIVET LARGE ENOUGH TO CRAWL THROUGH AND JUST BEYOND THE HEDGE THE MOUNTAIN SIDE AWAITED HIM GOING UP AND UP IN ONE SMOOTH SWEEP UNTIL THE GREEN AND TAWNY FADED INTO HAZY HEIGHTS OF ROCK IT WAS WAITING FOR HIM COME AND CLIMB IT WHISPERED COME AND CLIMB BUT THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL TO DO FIRST THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE NEW HOUSE THE MOVING VAN WAS STANDING OUT IN FRONT THE CAR MUST BE UNLOADED
