Then Baby yelled and ran upstairs; and Tiny yelled, and ran after her; till they came to the topmost stair of all. And Baby put her head out and cried,
"I say! this is tip-top!" which was a very favourite saying of Baby's.

"This is tip-topper!" for lovers are lovers just the same in That Country, only nicer.

"Tiny! Tinee!"

And Baby's mother, who couldn't be good-and-go-to-sleep because of the racket, woke up, and climbed out of the cupboard, and ran after Tiny as hard as she could pelt.
