"Ungry" is worse than "nungry"; you mustn't get into the way of dropping your "h's," whatever you do. That matters more than baby talking; it's vulgar. 'It's very unkind of you to call me vulgar, said Eugene, in a very plaintive voice, 'and I'll tell you what, Jass, I'm getting so fir wursty, I mean, that I just can't go all the way back wifout a drink.
We've been here longer than you'd think, and Master Eugene will be getting tired. 'I'm not a bit tired, said the little boy, 'but I'll tell you what I am, or what I'm going to be, and that's awfully nungry. Talking of bringing our dinner or tea out with us next summer has put it into my head. If even I'd a bit of bread, I'd eat it.
'I'm not tired, said Eugene, 'I'm only firsty now; I can wait for being nungry till tea-time, quite well, but I must have somefin to drink. 'Is there any cottage along this lane, that we could ask for a glass of water at? Jacinth inquired of Phebe. But the girl shook her head.
And I'm afraid I'm beginning to be firsty too, and that's worser than being nungry. It always says so in shipwreck stories. They read us one at school the other day, and it said so. 'Eugene, how silly you are! said Frances, 'as if your feeling a little hungry and a tiny atom thirsty could compare with dreadful sufferings like sailors have.
'And really, Eugene, considering you're past seven, you should try to speak better, added Jacinth. 'I hope you don't say "nungry and firsty" at school. How they must laugh at you! 'They don't then, said the little boy, 'and they don't need to. I'm very pertickler at school, and I always say 'ungry and wursty properly.
