• Tolly : Have you seen the green man? Over there, by the fish platform. Taller than the stone man.

  Linnet : He means Green Knowe.

  Toby : Keep away from him.

  Linnet : I'm not afraid of him. I call him St. Christmas.

  Toby : I didn't mean you, little flibbertigibbet. I mean him.

• Tolly : Where is the peacock?

  Alexander : I expect it's sulking because you and Granny laughed at it so much.

  Toby : The only thing the peacock's good for is that it gives warning if Green Knowe walks.

  Tolly : [to Alexander]  How did you know that we were laughing at it?

  Toby : I was in the inglenook. Alexander was in your chair.

  Tolly : Yesterday? How come I couldn't see him?

  Toby : Well, you were sitting in the same place so how could you? It's as if you were in the same person.
