"Dear Toddlekins," said little Trot,
"May I talk to you a while?"
"Why, yeth, of courthe," said Toddlekins,
With a bashful little smile.

"Now, Toddlekins," said little Trot,
"If we should meet a bear"——
"Good graciouth me!" said Toddlekins,
"You give me thuch a thcare!"

"If we should meet a bear," said Trot,
"Would you let me save your life?"
"Oh merthy! Yeth!" said Toddlekins,
"But I will not be your wife!"
