In the fourth book of the Borrowers series, Homily, Arrietty, Pod and the other little people, think they have at last found an ideal home. They've moved into a house in a miniature village built as a hobby by a retired railroad man. The village is the perfect size for the Borrowers, and after the hardships they've faced, the Clocks gratefully settle into the luxury of having a ""proper"" house. The easy life makes them careless.Or, rather, it makes Arrietty careless. She befriends a ""human bean,"" and the next thing Arrietty knows, she and her family have been kidnapped. Their captors are a greedy married couple, called the Platters, who have big plans for the little people. They have created their own miniature village in a glass case and plan to imprison the Borrowers within -- like animals in a zoo -- for the rest of their lives.
