The Story of the Amulet

CHAPTER 13
33/34

'Don't you remember December 3rd ?' 'Jinks!' said Cyril, 'I'd forgotten that.' 'I don't believe it,' said Jane, 'and I don't feel at all well.' 'If I were you,' said the Psammead, 'I should not go out into the Past again till that date.

You'll find it safer not to go where you're likely to meet that Egyptian any more just at present.' 'Of course we'll do as you say,' said Anthea soothingly, 'though there's something about his face that I really do like.' 'Still, you don't want to run after him, I suppose,' snapped the Psammead.
