. The round circle of the flashlight found him in the middle of the courtyard. After studying him for a moment, William picked him up. Tell me again," William said at dinner. "That's Mom. It's missing." "Sir Simon." "Aw, come on, I just got here," Jason said. she asked. Soon there will be no person left in this godforsaken kingdom to follow his laws." The apple came off easily in his hand, and when he had maneuvered down to the sturdier branches, he stopped to study it. She doesn't think she has to THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 29 concentrate on you the way my mother does." "According to the riddle, you must cross the drawbridge as a squire. I will spot you for the front somersault this time. You get back on your feet a little faster that way." He had not even seen her since the first day he brought her to the attic. William brings Sir Simon and the rest of the statues to life. William listened to her raspy whisper without moving. "What are you doing?" "William, Chicken with cashew nuts tonight. "Too many times to count. The ground is so uneven." Are you ready to go?" Desperate to stop Mrs. Phillips from going away, William has Sir Simon shrink her with a magic token he stole from the wizard, Alastor. The door closed, and the bolts were shot across on the other side. The heavy wooden doors were pushed slowly open by two soldiers, who marched across in front of him without raising their eyes to meet his. It was the Silver Knight and the son of the apple-tree man. Round-off, two back handsprings, Arabian dive roll. Around the next corner, he came to a bridge that crossed what must once have been a pleasant stream. "Find your seats, please," the teacher said as he closed the door behind him. But that was all right, too, because Mrs. Phillips was always there on weeknights. "Please be careful, Sir Simon. Sir Simon asked. When he looked back from the corner, Jason was still standing there, his bike leaning against his hip, staring after him. He got to his feet and packed away the food in his leather pouch. The little man, looking desperate, got stiffly down on his hands and knees and began to search the floor. He found himself drawn to the gallery of lead people again and again. Before William could stop her, Calendar had snatched the necklace that dangled from his left hand. The smell of her perfume hung in the air after she'd left. They swayed in the lightest breeze. Only one word. The wizard nodded at him. The little knight produced the token from his pouch and handed it over. "I'm not going to be scared by a lead 20 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC knight that's two inches high." He lay curled under the bushes, 134 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC listening to the occasional crackling of the dry undergrowth. "Her room is right through here," he said, indicating the door William was facing. I was dressed in a full suit of armor, as I was about to review the guard. Sir Simon reminds William of the riddle on the wall. "My subjects will have completely forgotten me by the time I return." THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 43 Robert walked across the room and put both hands on William's shoulders. 0. The knight popped them in his mouth and chewed thoughtfully. Lord Luck, good luck charms and luck in general are also referenced in the story. At last, he saw Sir Simon, lying face down in the main aisle that led to the altar, his arms outstretched. He keeps the important people or the beautiful maidens or the particularly bad villains in a special gallery so that he can admire them whenever he wishes." She's the one who gave me the castle." To the left is the buttery, where food and drink are kept cold, and to the right is the scullery where the dishes are washed up. This man says his children are cold, but cutting down trees is against the law, is it not?" "There's some food in there and your recorder and your binoculars." He flipped on the light switch and left his flashlight on the bottom step. Then he worked on the flower bed with her. Then she'd be on her way to England and the Silver Knight could go on his mad quest by himself. He nodded. It was rumored that he would return one day with a boy, and so he has. "Didn't the tapestry show you?" He sat up so that his face was the right height and distance from theirs. Nobody should have the power to look at the secrets inside another person." William laughed. But nothing seemed to work. On that last trip out of the castle, Calendar looked haggard and worn. The man's tiny arm fell across his chest. "I haven't been reading you King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table all these years for nothing." He and Bear slipped through without a sound. You are too squeamish for your own good, young William. "Do you see that apple way at the very top?" "No, not exactly. In the castle, Sir Simon practices his swordsmanship skills. To William," he shouted. He grinned at William. This book has been reviewed by Focus on the Family’s marriage and parenting magazine. CHAPTER 9 But she didn't change her mind the next day or the one after that. "Thank you for your help. "Maybe," he said. "I said I was sorry, Sir Simon. "What's your name?" "The one you call Dad. He could see the small man's body pacing up and down along the wall walk. "I realize now that Calendar deserted me in the end. "Yes," he said. With that, he reached into a sack under the bench and produced a series of small bundles wrapped in rags. "What's it look like?" I know how busy you are with everything." "Please, sir, could I have a bite of it? he asked one afternoon. "Where is that lever? On either side of the fireplace, the walls of the large banquet hall were draped with cloth tapestries. I'll let you know my address when I get there. When he looked back at the table, the sow bugs were gone. You can see it from this side through the stainedglass window." At last, the dagger found flesh and was slowly pulled from his hand as the beast fell over on to his side in a heap of green scales. William's father asked. It no longer scared him. "I'll convince her," William said firmly. When she saw the direction of William's eyes, she turned around, but Sir Simon's head was bent close to his work. "Good night, William," Sir Simon said at last. Gradually, they warmed and turned to flesh. STUDY. William asked. The man shrugged. "I want you to get in here," he explained, unzipping the belt pack he had strapped onto his waist. Each person is given the right weapon. I could feel it, and any judge would see it. She knelt down and picked him up very carefully. So this is where Calendar sent him." It leaves other people out." Two flip-flops and both shoulders touched the mat evenly for the dive roll. "That depends on you." The knight did not let go immediately, so William held himself very still, the way he had once when Jason's parakeet had landed on his outstretched palm. It would probably take Mrs. Phillips a while to get used to her new arrangement, and he wasn't quite ready to face her. "He's added an Arabian dive roll at the end of my floor routine. Sir Simon sat in one corner, watching while he sharpened the blade of his dagger. William froze. This old crone annoys me, though I've gotten used to her company," he said, pushing Calendar out of the way. Alastor is a wizard and casts spells on people. He drew his hand back just in time. They were both watching me, he with a terrible smile on his face, and Calendar . We have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps. To his amazement, the figure felt soft and wrinkled and warm. His arms and shoulders ached. William asked, splashing his face. The table seemed larger and less welcoming without the knight. His eyes made William 142 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC shiver. They both could hear the roar of the bus's engines as it started up the last hill toward them. Mrs. Phillips left last week. William stood watching as the thick planks came down toward him and settled with a thump into the notch of the outer wall. He watched as the small man rolled slowly over on to his side and pushed himself up into a sitting position. "You have done well." "Come with me to view your booty." . "I have no wish to fight you," he said. Sure enough, when William picks up the tiny silver knight, Sir Simon comes alive in his hand and tells William a mighty story of wild sorcery, wizards, and a kingdom in need of saving. "William, it had nothing to do with me," she said. "And I'm not going to say one more word about it." "Hello, William. "We want to hear all about your life there." "That's enough for today," she said at last. The old man jumped to his feet. Oh, here it is." There were, after all, more important matters to attend to," he added, glaring at William. He longed for a bite. William asked. THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 143 "Perform, fool," the wizard ordered, his deep voice bouncing off the walls of the room. "It will never look this way again." Mrs. Phillips stood at the door and waved them away in the car, as if they were little children leaving for school. Then he took the boy too. One recorder, one pair of binoculars, one stale piece of bread. "Until then," Sir Simon said weakly. He wasn't ready for that. "Sure." She started to get up. "You say that every night." "There, Muggins," the wizard spat when the man fell to the floor, a twisted metal statue. She had attended William's meets ever since he started gymnastics at the age of six. Are you ready?" he said. "Be ever loyal in love." "Enter, young William," was all he said. From the highest branch hung one dark apple. "Where are we?" "I made this for you in woodworking last year. "You know how I hate goodbyes," she said, "so I don't want you to wait for the bus. "Think about the flowers." "Really?" You knew him better as the dragon that guarded the castle gates." When the tumult had subsided, he raised his own tankard and shouted, "To the Lady Elinore." THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 85 "We'll each lift one side and push the platform under with our feet. "What did he do to the man?" Muggins, this man was found cutting down a tree for firewood. At the same time, she gives grace and space for William to own up to choices, make better decisions and apologize as needed. "I still can't do it," he said. The question was a fair one. A truly courageous person is the one who must first conquer fear within himself." "Will I be all right?" "Can you sit on this suitcase for me, William? The soldiers were clustered together, whispering and pointing at him fearfully. "I believe we were talking about Alastor's spell," Sir Simon said. He let a little more time go by, just to be on the safe side, and then got very quietly out of bed. At a signal from Sir Simon, Tolliver led his grandmother off to a comer of the room, where they sat down immediately and began to talk. It's my goodbye present." William hesitated. One half of the token made things small, and the other restored them to their normal size. "I gave Lady Elinore the master chamber, as I sleep downstairs on the kitchen floor to guard the fire," Sir Simon explained as they stepped on to the landing. Maybe it would work again. "Did you have a horse before, Sir Simon?" "What's this all about?" Get free discussion questions for this book and others, at FocusOnTheFamily.com/discuss-books. We'll have to expand our repertoire, though," he said with a smile. But he had not gone far before his steps slowed and stopped. 82 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC Jason shook his head. When the lady doth ply her needle And the lord his sword doth test, Then the squire shall cross the drawbridge And the time will be right for a quest. . " "The same," was his inevitable reply. Calendar scuttled along behind them, sniffing at him occasionally like a curious dog. He's cold." "No, I expect not. "Why?" Save. "There's no use staying here anymore. Is that you?" Be compassionate to the needy, said Sir Simon's code. We have defeated him." "I don't think she knows how," William said. She must have noticed they were gone right away because the first thing she always did on Monday morning was open her top bureau drawer and take them out. When she turned back to the sink, William slipped a cookie into his napkin. No bird sang, no night-prowling animal called out. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Calendar roll over to crouch in her usual position in the corner. It's dinnertime." he called. "Order him to perform," she said. The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop, 1985. Soon after her exhortation, I had a dream that I was standing in a room in my bare feet. He didn't even raise his hand to wave goodbye. William nodded. He was terrified. You will have to see it. He was pulled back by Brian. "Yes. William went and buried his nose in her newly washed dress. On Friday afternoon when he went up to the attic, he found Sir Simon had zapped a mouse with it. "Sure you don't want to stay this way?" You might forget one day and pick him up." I doubt you would take it too kindly. He waited for a minute, half expecting to hear the clank of the small man's metal shoes on the stone staircase. "When he stated his business, we directed him to 144 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC the side entrance, my lord. "Can you tell me what you do know, then?" Reprinted by permission of Viking Penguin, Inc. Are you ready?" "That's a good sign." But the whole time I played with the castle, he was as stiff and cold as lead." "You're late today." There is only one way to defeat Alastor." A THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 151 young man stood in front of the wizard's throne, his hands bound in front of him. Learn how we and our ad partner Google, collect and use data. It seems silly." But he couldn't hear anything. "Now about the castle. THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 87 William had a funny feeling in his chest. One day last week, he took me aside at the end of practice. "Then don't blame me for what happens," he said as he left. Remember, you are my fool. We won't forget you," Tolliver said. "Precisely," Sir Simon said. A tower stood at each corner, and arrow windows dotted the exterior walls in a random pattern. What role, if any, did he play in the illness and eventual death of Sir Simon’s father? His moves were faster and more graceful than anyone else's, which improved the team's scores at the meets. "Don't think about walking," she said. I must go tell Lady Elinore at once." "You are alive." They reminded him for a moment of Sir Simon, but again he shook the thought away. I could THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 179 do it right here on the grass," he said. Our partners will collect data and use cookies for ad personalization and measurement. "Oh, yes. "Now, when I head down that path to the bus stop tomorrow afternoon, William, no funny business, right?" I wouldn't feel this way if she hadn't decided to leave. He sat down on the top step and waited. I am no longer made of lead." While they waited for all to be seated, William asked 166 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC Sir Simon something he'd been wanting to know. William ate a quick breakfast with Sir Simon, who was quiet after the revelry of the night before. He winked at William. Meanwhile, the noises grew more intense with every step. She handed him the trowel. "Close the doors," he ordered the guard in a steely voice, and the man jumped to obey. Then I'd be sure it wasn't just a dream." "Time to start dinner. "Remember, she isn't gone," he cried out suddenly. She stopped and looked at him. "Chase it away, will you, William? "I'm coming," he said quickly. What was it?" It didn't seem proper to put a knight's food on the floor. William didn't say anything for a moment. He alone has defeated the curse of a man who held our kingdom prisoner for far too long. CHAPTER 14 William heard the crank of the windlass as the portcullis was raised. "Be careful riding home on your bike this afternoon." Everyone they passed greeted them cheerfully, and often people pressed food on them or directed them to the nearest source of water for a cool drink. Alastor turns the castle guards against each other; the guards are scared of him. "That will do, won't it, Calendar?" What did she mean by all that stuff about a gentle soul? "I am William Edward Lawrence. He hadn't thought yet whether he should tell her about Sir Simon. Mrs. Phillips cried. William asked. William got into bed without checking on the lord and lady in the attic. "We have a big meet next month. "Bravo," cried the knight, putting down his dagger to clap. THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC 165 William slipped the lead medal off the ribbon. William decided to say no more about Sir Simon. William glanced at the ramparts. We can pick out the recipes the night before, and I'll buy the food on the way home from the office." He stuffed everything into a backpack and went to bed. William sank to his knees in the dirt and let the recorder drop from his mouth. The outer frame is a wall so that when you let down the drawbridge it can rest right here." His last drink had been the stagnant water in the streambed, and this endless climb in the sun had made the sweat stand out on his face and neck. A single black pennant flew from the corner of one tower. Mrs. Phillips, his nanny, is leaving for good! "She already knows where they are," William said, smiling at the knight, who seemed to have lost ten years in the last hour. "I hate goodbyes," she muttered as she folded layers of tissue paper between her clothes. CHAPTER 17 "My warrior has returned," Mrs. Phillips said, holding him at arm's length. He came in shaking like a dog and blowing the raindrops off the tip of his nose. Coming out of the second one, he punched up high in the air for the line of back handsprings that brought him closer and closer to the silver robes. "Well, I'm not most fathers and you're not most sons. It distracts William, and he needs to concentrate very hard right now." William begged for a little water and continued on his way despite their urgings. William’s dad builds a moat for the castle. He turned his back on the dreadful scene and began to walk away down the road. "I thought it would make you stay," he said at last. When he said goodbye to Jason at the end of the day, his friend frowned at him. "Can I come over this afternoon and see it?" Pack up the rest and take it with you. I made such haste to catch up with him that I must have passed him altogether." 49 50 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC The Silver Knight watched from the lowered drawbridge as William connected two extension cords and dragged an old bedside lamp over to the castle. Forgetting that this wasn't really the end, he stood without moving, imprinting her on his brain. . William stayed quiet, waiting. "You might break something." "He is gone. He could make her small and keep her. Looking down from above, he could see the terrified face of the Silver Knight staring up at him from behind the stable door. William hadn't noticed that before. I can play the recorder. 154 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC Her silence seemed to last forever. "Do you think it's still there?" "I need your help," he said. As the figure got closer, he could see the picture of Mrs. Phillips imprisoned inside his heart. Tiny hinges stuck out from either edge at the level of the man's ears. He took her suitcase, and they walked out the same path they had taken before. He had gauged the distance. It was better, he knew that. "I am usually the only one who likes to be in here. William smiled. William hesitated. "Want to see my floor routine for the meet? I have something else for you to eat, and anything that is mine, you are welcome to." William’s gymnastics coach works the team hard and challenges William to work with excellence. Sir Simon looked indignant at the thought that anybody could forget about him. "Hold on," William said as he ran forward and dropped to his knees. If he let himself believe that, he would lie down in the middle of the road and give up. The knight didn't reply. And not a very good one at that," he grumbled. Surely one little bite wouldn't hurt. He screamed and clawed at his legs. "My parents were asking me the usual questions. If Alastor is warned . "What's the cookie for?" he asked. The knight was still standing on the wall walk. Hanging out together had helped them develop tough skins and deaf ears. Before Simon could lift his sword, the wizard pulled out the lead disk and froze him." Mrs. Phillips took his arm and led him gently away. The adventure continues in this exciting companion to The Castle in the Attic.As William turns twelve, he wonders if Jason is still his best friend. "Thank you," William said, starting off in the direction the boy had indicated. I have not eaten since yesterday, and the emptiness in my stomach has begun to pain me terribly." It wasn't just my idea." William shuddered at the thought and turned abruptly away. She leaned over and hugged him. There was no answer. he asked. The knight was the first to stick his head out. William asked. "You're home early," Mrs. Phillips said. She poured some honey into her tea. The dragon nodded and took up his old position. They settled down at the kitchen table with two big bowls of cold cereal. William had finished his homework and his supper. For a moment, he stood with his eyes closed, centering his body. William smiled to himself. "Then I don't want it." Holding the medallion carefully in his palm, William moved close to the light to look at it. He swept his hand around the room to indicate the motionless audience. "Robert made me do the first part of my routine five times in a row," William said. We were convinced Alastor controlled my father's every action, but my father would not even see us to listen to our arguments. As William watched, the dragon spied a bird that had flown too close, and he shot his tongue of flame high into the sky. On the first try, he fell in the middle of the front somersault. William glanced at the knight. "I would have thought that land behind the school was very flat." This was turning into a party. Sir Simon roasted... Castle in the Attic - CH 7-8 DRAFT. My weapon is the needle and thread." And I'm all alone." 126 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC In just a few minutes, he had spread a picnic of bread and cheese and dark cider beneath the tree. "Try the word 'small,'" William suggested. I'd like to take a closer look at it under my magnifying glass." "Okay. "Oh, William, don't tempt me," she said. If he looked at her, he might start crying. Then they moved directly to the floor exercises. "Everybody else I've seen is trying to get away from Alastor." "You will stay here. Everything about her made him feel safe and happy. "Then why are you here now?" 118 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC William didn't answer right away. William grabbed her by the arms. He stopped at the door of Mrs. Phillips's room. The boy didn't seem to be listening. As William watched, the man began to turn to lead. "I wouldn't have to keep a fire going all night if I had those magic sticks," Sir Simon said. She took her dark blue raincoat out of the front hall closet and walked through the kitchen, William trailing 68 THE CASTLE IN THE ATTIC along behind. Elinore encourages William, but also gently expresses her disappointment when William makes bad choices. The old woman knew now that he was acquainted with the Silver Knight. He looked up to see an old man sitting on a rock under a tree. "Then this chain raises the portcullis, that metal grating just beyond the double wooden doors." He reached up with his dagger and plunged it in the direction of the right thigh. "Enough," he growled. "Look at that fireplace. "William's going to show me the castle," Jason offered.
