MDL | Chapter 4.4

The wizard moved 78040742fc his quill. Black ink spilled af5952980d out, and he f83233f0bf drew a small, 2806c90070 sturdy… hammer… in e1a4332e26 midair as if ce250db7f5 it were paper. Yes, you heard 10a42f26e7 right, everyone. A hammer……. Why? Why are e41288b07d you making 3c6ff3836a that face? What else could we 08ebc7babc do? If there’s 36417a9df9 no keyhole, df5a2ae360 we have 8c4b5a171f to break fdcfb96d17 the door, 44c0911817 don’t we?7cbf139649f0ba99

The wizard sent bd2139869f the hammer flying 9604ed9237 into Rose’s hand. Rose made the same 7b75cca7ab face you all just 26ab955a7c made and looked at 9db6ace88b the wizard.15062e281ae7d758

Rose swung the b773ee8de7 hammer with all 0d3b1bc489 her might.

As old man Jack 2878b4b0b2 had said, it was da9ea83ca7 already quite late to d8727ed920 head to where the 7ba4272d59 beanstalk was supposed to cef317664e be. It was evening. The time when hardworking 4c16a8f740 people, burdened with fatigue, ff37205239 were heading home. The time f71610d28e when tired eb266aacfa people packed 8a193e8497 into carriages 7421fa48d4 and trams, 8a5c34f047 and boys 2ef5061b6e and girls 62f85fd03d on bicycles 8205cddb83 pedaled as 04376ba300 hard as b452ca5de4 they could.
