Tippy sowed that seed the same winter that she taught Georgina "The Landing of the Pilgrims"; but surely, no matter how long a time since then, Tippy should be held accountable for the after effects of that planting. If Georgina persevered it was no more than could be expected considering her rigorous up-bringing.
"My fur and whiskers," said Bunny, "I never had a grandchild named Tippy Toes!" "Bless my buttons," said Susan, "What a cute little name." Then Grandpa Grumbles got up waving his green cotton umbrella and shouted, "Though the stormy north wind blows, I'll go with you to Tippy Toes." Then he and Doctor Cotton-Tail made a low bow and went out into the snowstorm.
Oh, no, I can stand a lot; but you'll find oot that Mag Robertson hasna selt her a' tae you, without driving a hard bargain afore she lets you alone. You can gang back to your tippy wee baggage! Gang to hell, baith you an' her, an' joy be wi' you baith! But I'll put a sprag in your wheel afore you gang far. Mind that! By I will! She'll nae toss her heid as she gangs past me as if I was dirt.
It's a shame for any self-respecting woman to have to look at, much less wear it." "Tippy dear, not so loud." "Look at that low-cut back, will you! And white hair, too. I wouldn't live in this town if you gave it to me! Sixty cents for string beans the menu read to-night. I can buy a bushel at home for that. If I had been alone I know what I would have done. Walked out.
"Look what Uncle Darcy brought me for my birthday. See how it puts a rainbow around every blessed thing, even the old black pots and pans!" In showing it to Tippy she discovered a tiny hole in the end of the prism by which it had been hung from the lamp, and she ran upstairs to find a piece of ribbon to run through it.
The friendly negro sidled his beast up to the Colonel, and whispered to him. "We are going to halt presently, Belmont," said Cochrane. "Thank God! They may give us some water. We can't go on like this." "I told Tippy Tilly that, if he could help us, we would turn him into a Bimbashi when we got him back into Egypt. I think he's willing enough if he only had the power.
"No, just being in Kentucky is all I remember, and your going away for a while." "And the next time some business affairs of his own kept him in Washington, something very important. You were just getting over the measles and I didn't dare take you, so you stayed with Tippy. So you see it wasn't your father's fault that he didn't see you. He had expected you to be brought down to Washington."
"Speak into my other ear, 'Tis very hard indeed to hear." Then Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes shouted into his other ear, "Please come back upstairs and tell us about the Toy Shop. We will be good, indeed we will." Grandpa Grumbles said, "Speak a little louder, please, If you do not want to tease."
It was tantalizing not to be able to hear them all. It made her think of times when she rummaged through the chests in the attic, pulling out fascinating old garments and holding them up for Tippy to supply their history. But this was as bad as opening all the chests at once. While she was busy with one she was missing all that was being hauled out to the light of day from the others.
"Who is telling this story?" asked Grandpa Grumbles. He began to tell the story in real earnest. He said, "I am going to open a Toy Shop in the woods." "Not a real Toy Shop," said Snubby Nose. "You don't mean a real Toy Shop," said Tippy Toes. Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella and grumbled, "Now, I shall have to start all over again."
