Chapte Four-Private Peaceful💐
Chapter Four: Ten To Midnight
In this chapter the boys had realized that the stones Molly told their futures with was very correct. But unfortunately whenever they weren't with Molly, they were not so lucky. They had gone poaching for the first time without Molly and disaster struck. Tommo fell asleep as he was on the lookout, but usually the presence of Molly kept him awake. They were caught by the Colonel's lookout, Lambert. They were taken to Big house to the Colonel and were given a punishment. They also had to apologize to the Colonel for trespassing and as their punishment, they had to clean the colonel's dog kettles every Sunday till Christmas. Molly got better by then and continued going school. As Tommo turned 12, Molly and Charlie moved out of school to work at the big house and Tommo found that he hardly got to see any of them. He began to feel left out and the stories he told them didn't interest them. One day a plane landed near Charlie and Tommo and the pilot asked them for some directions. Later he had offered them some humbugs. His hum bugs are confiscated at school by Mr. Munnings and was given 6 whacks on his hand with a ruler. Charlie came home and told Tommo he had stolen Bertha because the Colonel was going to shoot her because she was too old so Charlie told her and hid her in his father's old shack.

Private Peaceful🌻🌻
Private peaceful is a delicate story. I recommend that anyone who comes upon this book may read this book. My reading group read a few pages and examined the pieces of the pages bit by bit. We found out that in the story were a lot of meaning and metaphors. As we got deeper into the story we were left gob smacked and wanting to read more. Hint: the story is about war which is why it is is so interesting.
