Summary Analysis
One of Gerry's favorite places is the crumbling wall that surrounds the garden. It's plastered brick, though the plaster is cracked and moss grows over the whole thing. He spends hours watching the different creatures that stalk along the wall. Gerry is especially entranced by the scorpions that live under the loose plaster. He finds them charming, unassuming, and mostly safe, assuming he doesn't touch them. He even observes bits of their courtship rituals, which they undertake at night. The family forbids Gerry from keeping a colony in the house much to his displeasure, as that would allow him to see all of their courtship.
In comparison to Gerry's other animal interests (doves, tortoises, dogs), scorpions are much scarier and working with them poses risks far greater than any of his other pets thus far. Despite this, Gerry's interest in them and the way he characterizes them as charming and unassuming shows that Gerry understands that creatures like scorpions aren't dangerous assuming one deals with them respectfully and properly.
Gerry convinces his family to not kill the scorpions and spends the next half hour collecting the babies. He reluctantly carries the mother back outside and releases her onto the wall. Larry is terrified of matchboxes after this, and Mother decides that it's time for Gerry to receive more education. She engages the Belgian consul to tutor Gerry in French.
