Looking at it from this point of view of the future, there seems to be something radically wrong at present with the play provided for children of nursery age. In a very few years we shall surely look back and wonder how we could have endured, for the children, the perverse reign of the Golliwog dynasty and the despotism of Teddy-bears.
"She isn't like a golliwog, really. That's not fair. And I bought the dress to please you, of course. It's mighty pretty. I've got it in my room." "I wonder what your steward thinks? Well, I'll thank you when I see it. But what an idea, to introduce one of those girls to me! Lord Raygan said they were all bleached and painted, except the one who wasn't pretty." "That's my one.
They make our voices sound grating and our expressions crude." "Our ways for mine!" "You can have them. Now run away, Petro. I'll see the 'Young Moon' later. I need a nap. Lay awake last night worrying!" But when he had gone she lay awake planning. This golliwog was undoubtedly dangerous.
Bigger than a big collie, it was furry all over even to its tail. And it was black as ink. In fact with its tiny prick ears and small sharp pointed muzzle all lost in a huge soft black ruff and nothing to be seen but red tongue, white teeth and beady black eyes, it was a regular golliwog of a dog.
"Well, now, about this Golliwog haha I should say Guru, my dear," he began, "what's going to happen?" Daisy Quantock drew in her breath sharply and winced at this irreverence, but quickly remembered that she must always be sending out messages of love, north, east, south, and west.
"I do not like that Golliwog," breathed Mrs. Jasher to her host, when Cockatoo was at the sideboard. "He gives me the creeps." "Imagination, my dear lady, pure imagination. Why should we not have a picturesque animal to wait upon us?" "He would wait picturesquely enough at a cannibal feast," suggested Archie, with a laugh. "Don't!" murmured Lucy, with a shiver.
So after that everybody called the golliwog dog Tumbu, and the fluffy cat Down. This was the beginning of a whole week on camel back; a very pleasant week too, though the minds of the elders were rather on the stretch concerning the fate of King Humâyon and Queen Humeeda. Still the sky was as blue as blue could be, the sun shone bright and the air was crisp with coming winter.
Of course, if the girl were coming to New York to be a Salamander, the weapon would be useless. Ena must find another. She could not be sure until she had met Miss Child; but she told herself that no glorified golliwog, however sly, could fool her for five minutes! She would soon know whether Peter were right or wrong about this daughter of a clergyman whose mother was dead.
Bring those things to me immediately and put them on my desk!" With a crimson face Ingred obeyed, and handed over into the teacher's custody: 1. A black velvet cat. A small golliwog. A piece of four-leaved clover. A stone with a hole in it. An ivory pig. Miss Strong smiled cynically.
You can buy Hekt, too, and funny old Bes, nurse-goddess of children, quite the golliwog of her day; and all the other gods and goddesses will be offered to you, to say nothing of the kings who were entitled to worship themselves as gods if they wanted to. "It's easy, you see, to make fun of the ancient religion, and other nations did make fun of it.
