Then Baby woke up quick, and stood up on her elbows in bed, and said,
"Why?"
So Tiny answered,
"Because I have had enough for now, thank-you," for he didn't want to frighten Baby; and he sat on the edge of the bed, and got into his sock.
And when that was done, he took up the bag full of luggage, and the canary by the cage, for Baby had taught him how to carry both now, and trotted downstairs with them.
But Baby crept up to the landlady's door on tip-toe, so as not to disturb her—for they had grown to love the landlady, because she was so good and fat—and shoved a note of paper under the crack.
And on it outside was,
With love
from
Baby and Tiny.
And in it inside was a sixpenny, which was a penny more than they owed her, so that she could retire on it if she liked.
Which she did.
