By MARGARET MAHY
But it wasn't! It couldn't be!
Somewhere at the very back of the drawer, somewhere behind that first empty openness, something that clonked softly.
Sophie tugged at the drawer, trying to pull it right out, but it remained obstinately jammed halfway.
Reaching in once more, her searching fingers spidered left, then spidered right. Nothing!
But then, by flattening her arm, Sophie managed to reach just a little further and her fingertips brushed something smooth.
Whatever it was, was also icy cold, which was unexpected on such a warm morning. After all, here in New Zealand it was nearly midsummer - nearly Christmas.
