CHAPTER ONE Christmas Eve at Kirrin Cottage- and the Five were all there together! They were up in the boys' bedroom, wrapping Christmas presents in bright paper. Timmy was very excited, and nosed about the room, his long tail wagging in delight. 'Don't keep slapping my legs with your tail, Tim,' said Anne. 'Look out, George, he's getting tangled up with your ball of string!'

'Don't look round, Anne, I'm wrapping up your present, said Dick. 'There'll be a lot to give out this Christmas, with all of us here- and everyone giving everyone else something!' 'I've a B-O-N-E for Timmy,' said Anne, 'but it's downstairs in the larder. I was afraid he'd sniff it out up here. 'Woof,' said Timmy, slapping his tail against Anne's legs again.

'He knows perfectly well that B-O-N-E spells bone,' said Julian. Now you've made him sniff all about my parcels! Timmy- go downstairs, please!' 'Oh no- he does so love Christmas time, and helping us to wrap up parcels,' said George. 'Sit, Timmy. SIT, I say. That's the third time you've knocked down my pile of presents.'

Downstairs, her father and mother were wrapping up parcels, too. They seemed to have as many as the four cousins upstairs! Mrs Kirrin looked at the pile of packages on the table.
