The band struck up a merry waltz, and the fairies and brownies began to dance with vigour. "Its past belief," said Mrs. Martin "and did you make all them wings, Miss Annie?" "Oh, dear, no," replied Annie; "they were made by the mothers of the fairies at least, I presume so. Now come into the supper-room and let me get you a comfortable seat." Mrs. Martin was glad enough to comply.
You have a kind, willing heart, and a wise little head, and these are of more value than money, for no money can buy them, but you have given them both to us all this time, asking no return. And you know, dear, brownies are always repaid in this way. You can soon pay for these things, by taking care of Mrs. Perry, doing all you can to help her, and making her happy and comfortable.
Don't you think it would be a nice plan these rainy, dreary days to write down all the cheerful bits of poetry you know or happy thoughts that come to you, or the pretty little fairy tales you and Allee love to make up about the moon lady and the brownies in the dell? You see, I have painted little brownies all along the margins of the various pages "
"I have become perfectly sure," said I "that there are spiteful little brownies, intent on seducing good women to sin, who mount guard over the special idols of the china closet.
She takes too many, and the very best into the bargain!" "Coo! coo!" "How she puts up her top-knot, the ugly, mischievous creature!" "Coo! coo! coo!" And every eye sparkled with malice.

"You didn't suppose I let those girls come in here and spend their morning on that nonsense for nothing, did you? This is some of their work, the work that's crowding all the frolic out of their lives. I've found out where they keep it, and I've stolen some. I'm Scotch, you know, and I believe in brownies. They're good to believe in. Old fables are generally all but true.
"No, no, my blunderbuss is loaded, and the villains cannot escape. You are nervous go back, Eliza." "Dearest I'll never leave you to meet the danger alone!" The handle creaked as it was slowly turned round, and Whiskerandos exclaiming, "We'd better be off!" followed the example of the Brownies.
I am the brownie myself." The longer he thought about it the surer he was that he must be a brownie. "Why," he said, "if I am one, Johnnie must be another; then there are two of us. I'll go home and tell Johnnie all about it." Off he ran as fast as his legs could carry him, and just as he was calling, "Johnnie, Johnnie! We are brownies!
The poor little fairy queen certainly looked most charming, and when the moment came for giving away the presents, she would enjoy herself to the full; but just now she could not help envying those fairies and brownies, who could jump about and skip and dance and have a very good time, without being in quite such a grand position as she was.
"Lots of things have happened since yesterday, brownie; but even the brownies could not make the violets spring up and open in one night." "But God could," thought Huldah to herself. After all that happened in the last twenty-four hours, she felt that nothing was beyond His power, but she was too shy to say so aloud.
