as nice as ninepence. With joyful hearts they hurried inside, picked up
the saucepans, and cooked all the tomatuses and potatuses for dinner,
with an apple dumpling for dessert, made of some of the apples that had
fallen off the tree; and after that, the little old man and the little
old woman, and the bright green blinds, and the bright red walls, and
the bright blue door with the bright brass knocker, and the bright
yellow steps, all lived in peace and the middle of the village,
believing more firmly than ever in the existence of fairies, and never
doubting that their house had been moved solely by the miraculous power
of the fairy spell,
"Rorum corum torum snorum,
Highcum tickleme cockolorum!"
And if they're not dead they live there still! Don't you believe it?
Well I NEVER did!

Transcriber's Note:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
Page 18, the indentation of the third line on the stanza that begins, "I

layout. The original looked like:
"I can go, on busy feet,
Errands for her all day through;
Work for her, I feel, is sweet--
This can 'ittle Luly do!
Page 50, "_himed" changed to "chimed" (chimed both the little)
Page 68, "barege" changed to "barege" (barege dress, trimmed)
Page 74, there is a closing quote after Mrs. Montague speaks.
Although there is no opening quote, the closing quote indicates that
she's no longer speaking so it was retained.

accomodated)
Page 104, "litle" changed to "little" (little old tea tray)
