["Oh look, look, Baby's made Peepy-Snoozle into

[He sat with one arm propped on the table, and his
round head leaning on his hand, while the other
held the piece of bread and butter—butter downwards,
of course]
[There was one trunk which took my fancy more
than all the others]
[For a minute or two Baby could not make out what

["Zou will p'omise, Betsy, p'omise certain sure,
