But the Peeler, winking said,
"Won't he get it by-and-bye."
Then they placed him on the bed,
Called him "Jolly dog," "old boy!"
Placed the pillows 'neath his head—
Yet she showed nor grief, nor joy.
Stole her daughter from her seat
Up to where her father slept,
Pulled the boots from off his feet,
Yet she neither moved nor wept.
