"We mostly do," squeaked the Tails.
There were eighteen of them, and they were all very frisky.
The Kite first winked one eye, then the other, then winked both together.
I'm afraid he was rather a vulgar sort of a Kite, but he was very jolly. His eyes were inclined to be goggly, yellow round the outside, with red in the middle. He was not a particularly good-looking Kite—in fact, he was really ugly—but he was very funny, and loved a joke.
The string suddenly wakened up out of a nap, hearing talk going on, "Eh, what's that?" said he.
"Don't know," said the Tails.
The Kite laughed again, and shook his round ears, and showed all his teeth in one wide grin. "We'll have a game this afternoon," said he, once more.
"Oh," said the String. "We mostly do."
The Kite stuck up his pointed chin, and shook his red paper beard. "I mean a different sort of game to what you mean," said he. "You mean, we have a game when young Walter takes us out. But I don't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" said the String, who didn't care about guessing.
