“Rather small, “ Noah repeated,sounding very British.
“Rather a wimp, is he?” said Simon in a different funny voice.
“No, he’s not a wimp, “ I said. “He’s just small. And he has a funny voice,” I blurted
out.
“A funny voice!” Noah said in a funny voice.
“A funny voice?” said Simon in a different funny voice.
“So he’s a little guy with a funny voice,” Hester said,
“So what? So what’s wrong with him?”
“Nothing!” I repeated.
“Why should anything be wrong with him, Hester?” Noah asked her.
“Hester probably wants to molest him,” Simon said.
“Shut up, Simon,” Hester said.
“Both of you shut up, “Noah said. “I want to know why Hester thinks there’s something wrong with everybody.”
