at which point did gip father think it was time to leave the shop?
Answers
Answer:
While on a walk with his son Gip, they happen upon a Magic Shop. Now, the father had seen this particular shop several times. Gip was determined to go in, pulling his father by the finger. They entered, seeing a marvelous assortment of moving papier-mache tigers, magic hats, magic mirrors and the like. Behind the counter was a strange figure, with one ear bigger than the other and a chin like a toe-cap of a boot. The father and the shopkeeper spoke about what they want, and the shopkeeper preformed a few magical feats, to the amusement of the father. After speaking for a bit, the shopkeeper makes a remark about how Gip was the Right Sort of Boy. He then says that it is only the right sort of boy that gets through that door-way. At that instant, almost with perfect timing, a child banged on the door, demanding entrance, but the door had locked somehow. The shopkeeper gifted them with more items, and preformed several more feats of magic. Suddenly, the shopkeeper paused, and wouldn't move. Gip and his father went behind the counter, thinking he was messing with him, but there was no one there. The shopkeeper reappeared Gip went with him to the show room, with the father not far behind. The shopkeeper showed Gip a whole array of wonderful things, much to Gip's own amusement. The shopkeeper put a box of toy soldiers Gip had requested in a bag, that had Gip's full name and address on the paper. This distressed the father greatly. Without warning, the shopkeeper put a big drum over Gip, with Gip exclaiming "Hide and seek, dadda!". When the drum was raised, Gip was nowhere to be found. The father flew into a rage, chasing after the shopkeeper, who led him through a door, into utter darkness.
Answer:
Gip's father thought it was really time to leave the shop when the shopman disappeared with his hat; when he wanted to show them around the showroom; when he made magic that seemed too genuine, like when he made Gip disappear.
