Teeny-bits, still looking upward, suddenly realized that the room into which Snubby had broken was Tracey Campbell's; confusing thoughts were still sweeping through his mind when he became aware that some one who was stepping swiftly along the walk that passed close behind the hall was almost upon him. Teeny-bits never knew just why he followed the sudden impulse that came over him.
You wouldn't believe the bad things that freckly-faced Norah said. She told Ruth Giant that she wasn't going to have nasty little mice around, running up her skirts, not if she knew it. She stuck her snubby nose up in the air and said it seemed as if the room smelled mousey.
They put it on in turn and guessed and guessed what kind of a shop Grandpa Grumbles would open. Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes said, "Will it be a candy-shop?" Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella fiercely and grumbled, "I told you, you could not guess. I am going to open a Toy Shop!" "A Toy Shop!" shouted the Seventeen Little Bears at the top of their lungs. "A Toy Shop!"
Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes danced this way, and danced that way, and said, "Lemon candy is good to eat, We always think it quite a treat." Susan said, "Hush; be still. Don't wake the Seventeen Little Bears; they are all asleep." The Seventeen Little Bears took cold when they fell through the ice into the water, so they had to stay in bed all day.
The Seventeen Little Bears formed a circle and skated round. Suddenly the ice gave way. Splash, dash, they all fell into the water! Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes danced this way, and they danced that way, and shouted, "Help, help, help! The Seventeen Little Bears have fallen into the water!" Doctor Cotton-Tail was riding by in his sleigh. He said, "Come, we will pull them out of the water."
He woke early one morning and danced before the mirror and asked, "Who is so ugly? Nobody knows." The mirror answered, "Tippy Toes." Snubby Nose cried, "That settles it, broken nose, or no broken nose, I will go out and find Tippy Toes to-day. Perhaps he will be a fine playmate for me." Snubby Nose crept down stairs. He ran down the road and was soon out of sight.
Grandpa Grumbles thought it was Snubby Nose, of course, and he shouted, "You're a careless Bunny, it is not funny, The Doctor costs us a lot of money." Then whisk! Before Tippy Toes or Doctor Cotton-Tail could say a word, Grandpa Grumbles opened his green cotton umbrella and set Tippy Toes inside and carried him through the woods. The wind whistled in their ears as they went.
All this time Bunny and Susan were coming nearer every minute. They said, "What if we should meet Bushy-Tail?" In less time than it takes to tell it, Bushy-Tail came down the bend of the road scolding and waving his beautiful tail to and fro. He howled, "Bring out Snubby Nose, bring out Tippy Toes or I will eat you up."
Snubby Nose was so little he could not climb up into the merry-go-round without help. He cried and he screamed and he howled! Tippy Toes was so little he could not climb in either but he waited patiently below. Grandpa Grumbles saw what was the matter. He lowered his green cotton umbrella and helped Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes up into the merry-go-round. Now they were ready to start.
Susan said by and by, "I beg your pardon, what were you saying when I started to sneeze?" Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "I had a call, I was going to visit " At this very minute Snubby Nose set up a shout, for dear Bunny Cotton-Tail leaned too near the candle and burned one of his whiskers! Then Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella fiercely and said,
