She would have given a great deal to have been left alone just then to have her cry out, but Timmy's scared little face touched her. "I can't think why you did it," she sobbed.

"I never thought of them," he said woefully.
Only a few of them behave horridly " There was a pause. Betty was trying to bring herself to introduce the subject which filled her mind. But Miss Pendarth was still full of the new tenant of The Trellis House. "I hear that Timmy's dog gave her a fearful fright." Betty felt astonished, well used as she was to the other's almost uncanny knowledge of all that went on in the village.
Tosswill and his three sons came into the drawing-room, and they were all talking and laughing together happily when a most unlucky, and untoward, accident happened! Timmy's dog, Flick, having somehow escaped from the stable, suddenly ran in from the dark garden, straight through the window opposite the sofa round which the whole of the party was now gathered together.

I think he slipped up when he commented on that helical what's-it, then covered his slip by pretending he'd only leafed through the texts and picked up a bit here and there.

Whitefoot thought longingly of the good things in Timmy's storehouse in that same tree, but decided that it would be wisest to keep away from there. So he scurried about to see what he could find for a breakfast. It didn't take him long to find some pine cones in which a few seeds were still clinging. These would do nicely.

But much as he ate, he never grew fat. "Hurry up!" said Betty absently. "I want to take off the table-cloth. We can wash up presently."
His voice sank almost to a whisper, but Enid Crofton felt as if the terrible sentence was being shouted for all the world to hear. Timmy's eyes were now fixed on the gay-looking blue rug spread out before the fender to his right. He was remembering something he had done of which he was ashamed. Then he lifted his head and began again staring at the space between Mrs. Crofton's chair and the wall.
Josephine is not fit to come back here yet; you know what Dr. O'Farrell said." The colour was coming back into Timmy's face. He had a touching belief in his mother's power of saving him from the consequences of his own naughty actions. "I'm very sorry," he began whimperingly. "It was not my fault, Mum.
