When the furniture went Mad - New Images Main Coursebook - Class 7 - English

Mr. and Mrs. Hall both had strange experience when on one Monday they both were noiselessly going towards the cellar. It was at this time that Mrs. Hall realized she had forgotten a bottle of Sarsaparilla in their joint room. She asked Mr. Hall to fetch it. He was surprised to see the stranger’s door open and after rapping twice he went in only to find scattered ferment and bandages on the floor. Even his slouch hat was on the bed post. He rushed to inform Mrs. Hall who followed him soon after. On the way to the room she heard a sneeze and considered it to be Mr. Hall on the other hand Mr. Hall considered it to be Mrs. Hall’s doing. She entered the stranger’s room and touched the bedding only to realize that it was cold and had not been used for sometime. It was at this moment they saw that all the clothes gathered themselves into a peak and then jumped headlong over the bottom rail. Even the hat whirled in air and dashed at Mrs. Hall’s face. Even the sponge from the washstand came towards her. Finally the chair threw the stranger’s clothes aside and charged at Mrs. Hall and firmly impelled her and Mr. Hall to be pushed out of the room.
