12 Pop-Pop Pops!

CHAPTER 12 Pop-Pop Pops! 'The video phone is ringing,' says Terry. 'I know!' says Madam Know-it-all. 'You should answer it,' I say. 'It will probably be Mr

Big Nose!' 'I know!' says Madam Know-it-all. 'He probably wants Alice and Albert and the baby back,' says Terry. 'I know,' says Madam Know-it-all. 'You really should answer it,' I say. 'He doesn't like to be kept waiting.' 'I know!' says Madam Know-it-all.

Madam Know-it-all answers the phone. Mr Big Nose's face—and nose—fills the screen.

'Hello!' he yells. 'It's Mr Big Nose here!' 'I know who you are,' says Madam Know-it-all. 'I want to speak to Andy and Terry.' 'I know that too,' says Madam Know-it-all. 'Then put them on,' he says. 'I'm a very busy man, you know.' 'I know,' she says.

'Put them on at once,' he says. 'I'm getting impatient.' 'I know you are,' says Madam Know-it-all. 'I've had just about enough of this,' he says. 'I know you have,' she says. 'I am Madam Know-it-all and I know everything. Is there anything you'd like to know? All you have to do is ask.'

'Well, listen up, Madam Whoever-you-are,' says Mr Big Nose. 'Here's something you don't know: if you don't stop wasting my time and put Andy and Terry on the phone I'm going to get very angry!' 'Actually, I do know that,' says Madam Know-it-all.
