"There, how do I look?" asked the goose gentleman. "Quite stylish and proper," replied Mr. Longears. "I'd like to see myself before I buy a hat like this," went on Grandpa Goosey. "I hope it doesn't make me look too tall." "Here's a spring of water over by this old stump," spoke Uncle Wiggily. "You can see yourself in that, for it is just like a looking glass." "Oh, dear!" cried Uncle Wiggily.
"I won't either!" cried Kitty, grasping her other arm. "Why, Mops, we simply couldn't live without you!" "I know it, you old goosey! And I couldn't live without you! The idea! As if any of us four Maynards could get along without any of each other!" "I just guess we couldn't!" exclaimed King, and then as far as the children were concerned, the subject was dropped.
You can't conceive how borne and prejudiced every one her who is used to something better! Don't you love art needlework? 'Maude Sefton has been working Goosey Goosey Gander on a toilet-cover.

"Matches his hair, too. Let's call him Brick." "Right it is. Brick for Mason. Where ye goin' to find treasure?" "You can come along, Chick. We're going to look for signs of water-courses running into the Hollow." "I won't come, then. I'm going with Goosey to look for a heap rock. We're after gold, we are." All the morning the two boys explored the Hollow.
To her great surprise, however, on looking at that interesting bird, she discovered that he was weeping copiously, and wiping with an elaborate lace handkerchief, which had evidently been concealed about his person, the tears which trickled slowly down his great beak. "What's the matter, poor goosey, goosey, gander?" said Fidge, sympathetically. "Don't!" snapped the Dodo, crossly.
Then he tried to hit the snake with a stick, but the crawly creature hid down behind Grandfather Goosey, and so got out of the way. "I have it!" suddenly cried Uncle Wiggily. "The popcorn balls. Snakes love them! I'll make him eat them, and then he'll let Grandpa Goosey go."
And I know Lulu meant to ask you, only she must have forgotten about it, because there is so much to do when you have a party." "I know there is," Uncle Wiggily said, "and I don't blame Lulu and Alice a bit for not asking me. Anyhow I couldn't go, for I promised to come over this afternoon and play checkers with Grandfather Goosey Gander."
"Yes, we ought to know about that, Goosey. See how he found the bread box." "Well, he admits he slipped up there. But this time it's different. He says he ain't soft enough to suppose Brick Mason is giving out information to help people find the treasure when " "Hold on, Goosey. Thought Matt didn't believe there was any treasure. He believes whole thing fake Matt does."
Then Grandfather Goosey-Gander went up to those two Wibblewobble children, and so did Alice, to lend Lulu her handkerchief. And Grandfather Goosey said: "It is better for tame ducks to stay on the water, or on land. They were not made for flying." So that was the end of Jimmie trying to become an air ship.
Tootity-toot-toot tunes they both played. "Now you are all right!" cried the bunny uncle. "Come along with me and you may have a piece of this pie for yourself. And you may stay with Grandpa Goosey Gander until summer comes, and then blow your horn for the sheep in the meadow and the cows in the corn.
