“But you do think it is interesting, don't you, Miss Honey?” “Oh, it is interesting all right,” Miss Honey said.
“It is more than interesting. But we must tread very carefully from now on, Matilda.” “Why must we tread carefully, Miss Honey?”
“Because we are playing with mysterious forces, my child, that we know nothing about. I do not think they are evil.”
“They may be good. They may even be divine. But whether they are or not, let us handle them carefully.”
These were wise words from a wise old bird, but Matilda was too steamed up to see it that way.
“I don't see why we have to be so careful?” she said, still hopping about.
“I am trying to explain to you,” Miss Honey said patiently, “that we are dealing with the unknown. It is an unexplainable thing.”
“The right word for it is a phenomenon. It is a phenomenon.” “Am I a phenomenon?” Matilda asked.
“It is quite possible that you are,” Miss Honey said. “But I'd rather you didn't think about yourself as anything in particular at the moment.”
“What I thought we might do is to explore this phenomenon a little further, just the two of us together,”
“but making sure we take things very carefully all the time.” “You want me to do some more of it then, Miss Honey?”
“That is what I am tempted to suggest,” Miss Honey said cautiously. “Goody-good,” Matilda said.
