"Oo's tummin' to see Yaya's toys," said Sara. "Am I, darling? When?" "Now." "But Aunt Woggles has got something for you," I said in a triumphant voice. Sara showed no interest and pulled me by the hand toward the door. "Hand me that, Betty," I said, pointing to the parcel on the table. Betty handed it to me. "Here, Sara, I said, "I have got a darling white rabbit for you! Sara! A bunny!" "Yaya's got a blush upstairs, a lubbly blush," she said, disdaining even to look at the parcel. I held it toward her, undid it, I squeaked the squeak, I called the rabbit endearing names; but to no purpose. Sara looked the other way. A look I at last persuaded her to bestow upon the rabbit; but she gazed at its charms, unmoved. "Yaya doesn't yike nasty bunnies, only nice blushes," she said. |
