Mr. Pinn almost had a heart attack. Suddenly the door of his house was broken down, after being knocked on several times. Terrible vibrations, in the unaided darkness.
"Who knocked on the door?" shouted the old man, stooping over to peek through a hole in the door. "Did the giant do it?"
"Gerald isn't that stupid, sir," said Weggie, appearing out of nowhere. "He will only come to make up for the debt you owe. After that, he'd better sneak if he wanted to take his friend away. How could he be banging on the door?"
"Then who is it?" whispered the old man while peeking. His eyes couldn't see clearly.
Weggie took his place, peeking through the door. Her body backed away in shock shortly after.
"What is it? Are there robbers outside?" asked Mr. Pinn after seeing Weggie running to a corner for a broom. Then he did the same thing, even though he only found a duster that looked worn out.
