"You ought to say 'took', not 'tooken'," corrected Toppin. He felt rather cross, and disinclined to dwell on the subject of his wrongs. "Ah, I am what is your one word? non-grammar-eesh?" "No, stupid," said Toppin. "Uhéi!" This sorrowfully. Then, drawing nearer, "But no mind! I love you oh, yes, I love you a great well, Top-peen! Shall we shall we keess?"
"And then there are some I've got to kiss, like aunts and people. But one doesn't put in any extra, if one can help it. When I'm grown-up I sha'n't have to kiss anybody, and that'll be jolly. I shall never, never kiss at all, only shake hands or bow, like Escombe does." "Top-peen, you did keess me once time, last week!" The Hare was timidly reproachful now. Toppin stood still and coloured.
The March Hare, who was shivering beside him, sobbed with joy when he saw one small leg draw itself up, and an arm move a few inches, at their owner's will. "Top-peen! Top-peen!" he cried. "You are not died!" Toppin stared at his friend over a tea-spoon. He was sipping hot spirits-and-water, and wondering what it was. But Jack turned upon the March Hare.
One or two youngsters, who had not got machines of their own yet, had begged leave to hire for the afternoon, so it happened that the March Hare and Toppin were the only boarders left behind. Mournfully they swung upon the gate, and watched the pack ride gaily away at the word "Time!" from Mr. Anderson. "I wish that they should have tooken us, eh, Top-peen?" said the March Hare.
