Christopher and Mrs. Alexander

- No.
- I have a rat.
- You'd probably like a dog, wouldn't you?
- You don't have a dog, do you?
- He's called Toby.
- Most people don't like rats because they think they carry diseases like bubonic plague. But that's only because they lived in sewers and stowed away on ships coming from foreign countries where there were strange diseases.
- But rats are very clean. Toby is always washing himself. And you don't have to take him out for walks. I just let him run around my room so that he gets some exercise. And sometimes he sits on my shoulder or hides in my sleeve like it's a burrow. But rats don't live in burrows in nature.
- Oh.
- A rat?
- I don't go into other people's houses.
- Do you want to come in for tea?
- I only like orange squash.
- I don't know because I don't know what Battenberg is.
- Well, maybe I could bring some out here. Do you like lemon squash?
- I only like orange squash.
- Is it a long cake with a square cross section which is divided into equally sized, alternately coloured squares?
- Yes, I think you could probably describe it like that.
- It's a kind of cake. It has four pink and yellow squares in the middle and it has marzipan icing round the edge.
- I think I'd like the pink squares but not the yellow squares because I don't like yellow. And I don't know what marzipan is, so I don't know whether I'd like that."
- Yes. Some sorts of biscuits.
- I'm afraid marzipan is yellow, too. Perhaps I should bring out some biscuits instead. Do you like biscuits?
- I'll get a selection.
