Peter Nimble And His Fantastic Eyes - Plot & Excerpts
They tumbled to the ground, sending scrolls everywhere. The princess was furious, and not a little startled. “You could have gotten us killed!” She swatted Peter’s ear with a map. “I sent Simon down to check on you and he was nearly spotted—and what are these ridiculous papers?” “We had to find out what they were talking about,” the boy said, quickly slipping the box of Fantastic Eyes back into his bag. He retied the bandage over his sockets before the others could notice. Simon hopped closer. “Your head bleeds, Sir Tode.

Why, another minute, and I’d have given that ape a gash to match my own!” Peg returned to the subject at hand. “That was incredibly stupid—both of you. I knew you weren’t ready for this task.” Peter, who had fought so hard to win the princess’s trust, resented this. “Sorry if we inconvenienced you. I figured we might want to know the king’s plans before we rushed into anything.”
