It was really an unnecessary precaution, he said, since the holder was a non-conductor of dimple-waves, and not even the Snimmy could detect their presence when they were inside of it. "Still," said Schlorge, "I'll feel safer about 'em when they're on the pedestal out of his reach," and with that he took the globe from Sara's hands and fastened it deftly on the pedestal.
She would have strayed right on into the Garden without removing them, except that as soon as she saw the Snimmy's wife, absorbed in some simple domestic task, and sitting on her own toadstool at the door of the prose-bush with her tail wrapped so tightly around the base, she felt that she might smile after a while, and then it might be too late to save the dimples from the Snimmy.
Then he picked up from his bench the dimples, which he had been mending as he talked. "It's a good thing the Snimmy can't see 'em now," he said, holding them off at arm's length and looking at them with frank admiration. "They're as good as new. Now let me show you what to do with 'em next time you come."
She's still got on her dimples! Won't you learn, Sara? Course I didn't notice 'em while you frowned. Come, now " "And it's time for the Snimmy to be back," interrupted the Teacup, who had fluttered down and perched on the edge of the moon-dial to see what time it was. "They said they'd only be gone two hours." "Then there's no time to lose," said Schlorge.
"Well," she said aloud, "I'm glad they're cheek-dimples, anyhow. But what in the world shall I do about the onions?" "What in Zeelup," corrected the Teacup gently, counting her stitches. "Milder than swearing, my dear, more becoming, and quite as effective." Sara wanted to tell her she wasn't swearing, but just at that moment the wife of the Snimmy remarked, with some disgust in her voice,
So there was Sara, with five dolls in her arms, and the Snimmy shuddering deliciously from head to foot because he was beginning to smell dimples in his sleep. "What in the world shall I do?" wondered Sara, half aloud. "What in Zeelup, my dear," corrected the Teacup, leaning out from her perch with sympathetic interest. And then, what do you think the Teacup saw?
But the Gunki felt themselves honored beyond any Snimmy who had ever sniffed. They stuck their noses into the air and strutted along like drum-majors. "Dimples is for folks with tails," said the First Gunkus. It was blue dusk and starlight when they reentered the Garden.
While Sara was looking after him, and wondering where the shop might be, and whether she dared try to get up without waking the Snimmy, the Koopf suddenly stopped running, and started thoughtfully back up the path toward her. "Don't know how I happened to forget it," he said, "but I well, fact is, I'm where's a stump? Where's a stump?"
