The story starts with the death of Edmund's grandfather, they visit him and later he dies. Mr. Hooper and Edmund went to live in the house of Edmund's grandfather, it was a big ugly house made of dark, red brick, it was called Warings, and there were no other houses near it. The next day Mr. Hooper told Edmund that someone would come to look after the house because Mr. Hooper has to go to London very oft. He also told him that the one who comes here to look after house has a boy the same age as himself, he doesn't like this, he doesn't want a friend.
When the Kingshaws arrive Edmund throws a piece of paper out of the window which said "I DID NOT WANT YOU TO COME HERE" Charles picked up the paper and he read it, he was afraid. When the two boys first meet they have a fight because Edmund says he owns everything in the house. Charles has been at Warings now for over a week, he wanted to go away from there so he decided to go to Hang wood for a walk. During the walk he saw a very big crow, the crow flew right over his head and he ran into the cornfield. Charles ran a fast as he could towards the house and then suddenly he fell. The crow landed on Charles' back and he began to scream. Edmund was standing at the window of his bedroom, watching him. Edmund teased Charles because he had been afraid of a crow. Charles found a room on top of the corridor, and he found dozens of dolls. He wanted this room to be his. Charles hated Edmund Mr. Hooper had told Edmund that he had to be friendly to Charles. Mrs. Kingshaw told Charles that he had to be very polite to Mr. Hooper. When Charles met Mr. Hooper in the main staircase Mr. Hooper told Charles that they could play a game of draughts together. After playing and after lunch Charles went to his room, the one that could be locked. When he walks to the door he sees Edmund sitting on the floor. He asked about the room, Charles was afraid of him and he gave him the key and they entered the room. Mr. Hooper and Mrs. Kingshaw would go to London for a day and Mrs. Boland would be at Warings to look after the boys. Charles made an escape plan, he would leave very early and take some food out...
