BOOK IV.—TINY AND BABY GO HOME
18
So Tiny and Baby came back to That Country, and staid with the mothers, one hour with each mother: for that is one of the rules.
And when they were gone, each mother sat down all day in the table in the window in the sun, and wrote round: four sheets to everybody, four hundred sheets in all.
And Baby's mother chuckled, because she was so happy; and she thumped her envelope with her fist: but Tiny's mother cried, because she loved that best; and she smoothed hers with the flat of her hand.

Then Tiny went down the Tumbledown Hill to the Town, Baby on arm.
And the Town is an old ancient street with the Church on one side, and the Inn on the other, and the Policeman between; and that is all: for it is only a country town, although the capital of That Country.
And at the back of the Inn is the market with pens inside a wall.
