Yassuh.

Presently she thought he was hard enough to be taken back into the
kitchen; and there they found Pirlaps, sitting with flushed face upon
his own fast-melting step, taking little muffin-pans full of
fresh-baked crumbs out of the oven. One panful, alas, was burnt to a
crisp, and some of the others were a shade too brown; but oh, they did
smell and look so very delightful! Considered as muffins (and they
looked so like them that Sara could not help being reminded of them)
they were certainly the tiniest things imaginable; considered as
crumbs (and that was what she had heard Pirlaps call them) they were
considerably above the average in size. For all that, what
discouragingly small crumbs for such appallingly large birds! No
wonder Pirlaps was so worried, and looked so unnaturally hurried and
strenuous!

"Here, Yassuh!" he called, without stopping to scold him. "You empty
these into the baskets and take them right out to the table; and then
you hurry right back and get another batch into the oven as quick as
you can. Roll!"

Yassuh, apparently quite refreshed by his nap, went tumbling out with
the fragrant baskets, and Sara hurried after Pirlaps in his anxious
search for Avrillia. At last they thought of the balcony; and as they
ran up the stairs, there, indeed, they saw Avrillia, with her white
arm outstretched above the balustrade, watching a curled rose-leaf as
it floated down, down, down.

"Avrillia!" called Pirlaps. "Where is the suet?"
