The children did not play with it. It sat at the bottom of the old wooden toy box,

which was the same size and age as a pirate's treasure-chest, or so the

children thought. The Jack-in-the-box was buried beneath dolls and trains,

clowns and paper stars and old conjuring tricks, and crippled marionettes with

their strings irrevocably tangled, with dressing up clothes (here the tatters of a

long-ago wedding dress, there a black silk hat, crusted with age and time) and

costume jewellery, broken hoops and tops and hobbyhorses. Under them all

was the Jack's box.
