"He doesn't like me, Tops, not one little bit. He never wants me round, only to run and get things for him. You don't be bad to Tops just 'cause she's littler than you, do you, Tiger? But I guess you like Topsy, and Hal don't like me. He don't like me one little teenty bit." Here a sob choked him, and through the green branches Harold could see a big tear-drop upon Topsy's velvet coat.
But it did not take much stuff for their dresses and they could steal through the tiniest, teentiest holes, which was often very handy for the whole family." How they all clapped for Tiny and Teenty! "Hush!" cautioned Mother Graymouse. "If we make too much noise, the Giant may be angry and turn us out of our cosy home."
I guess he's not very light, or very dark, but I think he'll be tall and SOME stout. Don't you know how the lawyer that lives on our street looks? Just as if he owned all the houses on the avenue. I think he'll give us a teenty little bow like this," and she gave a jerky little nod, "but I think he'll be quite nice to us after we are in."
A happy New Year to you all!" "Happy New Year, Uncle Squeaky!" they called in chorus. "Bring your fiddle next time, uncle," coaxed Silver Ears, as he pulled his fur cap down snugly. "And don't forget the checkermints," drawled Buster from his little red stool. Tiny and Teenty were inquisitive little twins.
I didn't go in, Mammy, truly I didn't. Teenty and I were peeping through the littlest hole." When Mother Graymouse had gone, Silver Ears was eager for another adventure. "We need that nice new spool of thread," she argued, "and I mean to get it. No, Buster, you are too fat to run fast, and Limpy-toes is lame. I shall not let the twins venture, for old Tom is often in the play-room.
"Here's one trunk," she continued, as a servant brought up and set down, a little contemptuously, the small hair-cloth box containing Maddy's wardrobe. "Here's one; where's the rest?" and she was flying after Tom, when Maddy stopped her, saying: "I have but one that's all." "Only that little, teenty thing? How funny. Why, mamma carried three most as big as my bed to Saratoga.
Webbie, Spinnie, Tony, and Patty Spider! You will have a big school, Cousin Dot." "Fidelia Cricket is going with Sammie," added Granny. "Ah, I see that Mr. Jack Rabbit is sending his two boys Bunny and Bobsey. I fear you will have your paws full, Dot." "If I can manage my two small brothers, I'll not fear the others." "Tiny and Teenty are great gigglers," said Silver Ears.
"We'll stay just as long as we wish," planned Tiny. "So we will. It will be good fun," answered Teenty. Silver Ears heard them whispering and giggling together, but she was busy making herself a blue velvet hood from some pieces that Mother Graymouse had found in an old trunk. So she never noticed when Tiny and Teenty slipped through a hole that led to the play-room.
Do you suppose there are little teenty ones, Grandpapa dear, and I might get her a pair?" "Yes, indeed," cried Grandpapa, nodding his white head in delight, "there are shoals of them, Phronsie, of all sizes." "What are shoals?" queried Phronsie. "Oh, numbers and numbers so many we can't count them," answered Mr. King, recklessly.
"Mebby if you think hard you'll remember it," he added encouragingly. "What color was it?" "Brown." "Did it sing like a robin?" "No." "Can't you remember one little, teenty speck of it?" incredulously. "No." "Aw, think hard. That's what the Dook tells me in school, and then it comes to me.
