Then he and Monnie would play sledge journeys. Annadore would sit on the sled all wrapped in furs, while Menie drove the dogs, and Monnie followed after. Nip and Tup did not like this play very well, and they didn't always go where they were told to. Once they dashed right over the igloo and spilled Annadore off.
When the twins awoke, the sun was shining as brightly as ever, and Nip and Tup were barking at them through the hole in the roof. Kesshoo and Koolee were gone! Menie and Monnie were frightened. They were afraid they were left behind. They sat up in bed and howled! In a moment Koolee's face looked down at them through the roof. "What's the matter?" she said.
Pores to dilate dilating. Tup. The joy the feel the warm the. Tup. To pour o'er sluices pouring gushes. Flood, gush, flow, joygush, tupthrob. Now! Language of love. ... ray of hope is... Beaming. Lydia for Lidwell squeak scarcely hear so ladylike the muse unsqueaked a ray of hopk. Martha it is. Coincidence. Just going to write. Lionel's song. Lovely name you have. Can't write.
When the people had all gone away, Menie and Monnie sat down on the side of the sledge. Nip and Tup were busy burying bones in the snow. The other dogs had eaten all they wanted to and were now lying down asleep in the sun, with their noses on their paws. Everything was still and cold. It was so still you could almost hear the silence, and so bright that the twins had to squint their eyes.
Koko and Menie helped her catch the dogs and hitch them to the sledge. It took some time to catch them for the dogs did not want to work. They all ran away, and Tooky, the leader of the team, pretended to be sick! Tooky was the mother of Nip and Tup, and she was a very clever dog.
"Margaret pit him doon for three dances, and sat in a corner with him through 'em a'. I wonder the incomparable one's lugs" I knew what she meant because she pinched one "arena burnt off his head. You should hae seen Maclachlan ranting and raving like an auld doited tup!"
Nip and Tup ran, too, with their ears back and their little tails stuck straight out behind them! If they had looked back, they would have seen the bear stand up on his hind legs and look after them, then get down on all fours and start toward the Big Rock on a run. But neither the children nor the little dogs looked back! They just ran with all their might until they reached the twins' igloo.
The ancient term tup, for a ram, is in full use. Crone still signifies an old ewe. Of crock, I know nothing of the etymology, and little more of the signification, only that the London butchers of the old school, and some few of the present, call Wiltshire sheep horned crocks. I believe crock mutton is a term of inferiority.
And Koko's mother said she really must make one for Koko just like it. The twins and Koko talked about a trap to catch hares which they meant to made as soon as the long days began again, and the baby went to sleep on a pile of furs in the corner. Menie fed the pups with some of his own meat, and gave them each a bone. Nip and Tup buried their bones under the baby and then went to sleep too.
Kesshoo and Koolee and the twins and Nip and Tup were all in the igloo. When they saw the Angakok's face come through the hole they thought, of course, the rest of him would come too. But it didn't, and the Angakok was mad about it. "Why don't they build igloos the way they used to?" he growled. "Every year the tunnels get smaller and smaller! Am I to remain here forever?" he went on.
