“That’s talking, not going to sleep,” said Alice.
All was still for a little, then Jaques half uncoiled himself and looked at Ranulf.
Ranulf uncoiled himself and looked at Norval.
Norval raised his head, and looked at Jaques.
On finding that they were all awake, the three burst out laughing.
“That’s laughing, not going to sleep,” said Alice.
Down they all flopped again, and then Alice, to help them, said, “Hushaby baby, on the tree-top!”
“I’m not a baby,” said Ranulf, much offended, as he was nearly six.
“I’m not on a tree-top,” said Jaques.
“You’ve waked me up,” said Norval.
