"Oh, I'm going to seek my fortune!" said Billy Bobtail. "May I go, too?" said the sheep. "No," said Billy Bobtail. "Yes, I will," said the sheep. "Well, then, come along," said Billy Bobtail. So the sheep followed on after Billy Bobtail. They went along a little way farther and met a pig. "Wee, wee, wee!" said the pig. "Where are you going, Billy Bobtail?"
Bab was vexed that Peter Dillon's careless Irish manners had also charmed this little Oriental maiden. But Bab was wise enough to understand that Wee Tu's interest was only that of a child who was grateful to the young man for his kindness. Barbara rose to join her friends, who were at this moment saying good-bye to their hostess.
Betty will be all right, and she'll get a chance to see the well come in. MacDuffy will look after her." Bob, of course, was glad to do Dave a service, and the old Scotchman, MacDuffy, promised to see that Betty did not get into any danger. "You'll like to see the well shot off," he told her pleasantly. "'Tis a bonny sight, seen for the first time. The wee horse is not afraid? That is gude, then.
Now Peter Rabbit, who can do little but run and jump, used sometimes to feel a wee bit of envy in his heart when he thought of all the things that Billy Mink could do and do well.

They had dined and supped together, walked the bridge together, and together they had bedded. "Och!" he muttered to that grim companion, "I'm quit of you, an' wull quit . . . for a wee." Ashore he passed the last of the seamen with their bags, and, at the agent's, with the usual delays, put through his ship business. When asked out by them to drink he took milk and soda.
The furtive life is not only perilous, it outrages every feeling of an honest dog. It is hard for him to live at all without the approval and the cordial consent of men. The human order hostile, he quickly loses his self-respect and drops to the pariah class. Already wee Bobby had the look of the neglected. His pretty coat was dirty and unkempt.
Not one man but two or three had appeared from behind the rocks of the hills, and the heart of Wee Willie Winkie sank within him, for just in this manner were the Goblins wont to steal out and vex Curdie's soul. Thus had they played in Curdie's garden, he had seen the picture, and thus had they frightened the Princess's nurse.
