"You didn't think anything at all," said Peter, "it's just spite. You've always liked being ____ to anyone smaller than yourself; we've seen that at school before now."
"That is more than I know," said the Professor, "and a ____ of lying against someone whom you have always found truthful is a very serious thing; a very serious thing indeed."
"Nothing is more probable," said the Professor, taking off his ____ and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, "I wonder what they do teach them at these schools."
But the moment they were inside they heard voices in the passage—and then someone ____ at the door—and then they saw the handle turning.
Mrs. Macready was not ____ of children, and did not like to be interrupted when she was telling visitors all the things she knew. She had said to Susan and Peter almost on the first morning (along with a good many other instructions) "And please remember you're to keep out of the way whenever I'm taking a party over the house."
"We thought there might be something wrong with Lucy." "____, you mean?" said the Professor quite coolly.
But when they had got out into the Green Room and beyond it, into the library, they suddenly heard voices ahead of them, and realised that Mrs. Macready must be bringing her party of sight-seers up the back stairs—instead of up the front stairs as they had expected.... until at last Susan said, "Oh bother those ____! Here—let's get into the Wardrobe Room till they've passed. No one will follow us in there."
Edmund, who was becoming a nastier person every minute, thought that he had scored a great success, and went on at once to say, "There she goes again. What's the matter with her? That's the worst of young kids, they always—" "Look here," said Peter turning on him ____, "shut up!”
This house of the Professor's—which even he knew so little about—was so old and famous that people from all over England used to come and ask permission to see over it. It was the sort of house that is mentioned in ____ and even in histories.
And Edmund gave a very superior look as if he were far older than Lucy (there was really only a year's difference) and then a little ____ and said, "Oh, yes, Lucy and I have been playing—pretending that all her story about a country in the wardrobe is true. Just for fun, of course. There's nothing there really."
