BOOK III.—TINY AND BABY IN MOONLAND
11
Tiny came to the Station, Baby on arm.
And there the train was waiting with a white rosette on the puff part.
And they got in, and Tiny leaned out, and shook hands confidentially with the nice old guard, who locked the door in return, though there was nobody else to go, only a milk-can.
For it is a private train that goes once a day loaded with honeymoon couples only, by order of the King, who is very good and kind, although he has to be so strict.
Then Tiny said to the driver,
"Moonland, please!" and came in, and shut all the windows without asking Baby's leave, and turned up his collar, and sat down in the cosiest corner, and after a good big yawn went to sleep: for that is what you do if you are a man even in That Country.
But Baby played with the window-strap in the corner furthest away, and smiled.
