CHAPTER VII.
THE QUARREL BETWEEN MR. ADJECTIVE AND MR. PRONOUN AND LITTLE INTERJECTION.
ADJECTIVE-PRONOUN
A | P
IT is sad to tell that nearly the first thing Mr. Adjective did when he was set free was to have a quarrel with Pronoun.
When the Judge came into court the next day he found them both much excited.
“It is mine, I know it is,” said Pronoun.
“And I know it is mine,” cried Adjective. “I’ll ask the Judge if it is not.”
“I’ll ask him, too,” said Pronoun. “My lord,” he continued, coming forward, “her is mine, and Adjective wants to take it from me. But when I claimed it in court before, he said nothing about it.”
“I thought the more,” returned Adjective, “but I supposed that you would give it up quietly without all this fuss in court.”
“I would willingly give it up if it were yours,” said Pronoun; “but it is not.”
