Dickie and the nurse sat most of the night talking by the replenished fire, for the tale seemed endless. DICKIE AND THE NURSE SAT MOST OF THE NIGHT TALKING BY THE REPLENISHED FIRE FOR THE TALE SEEMED ENDLESS
 said Dickie--"at least, it wasn't that I _noticed_ any difference so much as that I _felt_ something queer. I couldn't understand it--it felt stuffy--as if something was going to burst." "That was because they were not the cousins you knew at Deptford." "But where have the real cousins I knew at Deptford been then--all this time--while those other kids were here pretending to be them?" Dickie asked. "Oh, they were somewhere else--in Julius Cæsar's time, to be exact--but they don't know it, and never will know it. They haven't the charm. To them it will be like a dream that they have forgotten." "But the swans and the carriages and the voice--and jumping out of the window..." Dickie urged. "The swans were white magic--the white Mouldiwarp of Arden did all that." Then she told him all about the white Mouldiwarp of Arden, and how it was the badge of Arden's house--its picture being engraved on Tinkler, and how it had done all sorts of magic for Edred and Elfrida, and would do still more.
