He wanders around the large building and finally finds a ballroom. The boy still wants to train his mice, which will require having them out of the cage, so he goes looking for a private, abandoned room in the hotel to practice with them. She replies that she has seen rats in the building, and gets him to permit the mice to stay, although they must be kept in their cage at all times. She screams and makes a fuss and the manager tells the boy's grandmother that they can't have mice in the building. He starts to teach them some tricks, such as crawling through his sleeve and up onto his head.Īt the hotel, the chambermaid finds one of the mice on their first day. Before they leave, the boy's grandma buys him two white mice, which he names William and Mary. They book two rooms at the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth. The doctor suggests that instead of going to Norway, the boy and his grandmother go to the south coast of England. His grandmother gets better over the next week but the doctor still stays that she is not strong enough to travel back to Norway for the summer. Finally, after about ten days, the boy is allowed in to see his grandmother. She must stay in bed and the boy is not allowed to see her because she is too sick. However, just three weeks before summer break, the grandmother gets very sick with pneumonia.
She and her brother used to go out all day in a boat fishing and visiting small islands.
He and his grandmother plan to return to Norway in the summer and stay in a cabin on the coast, like she and her family used to when she was young. The boy attends school in England through the spring and into the summer.
