Sometimes she took no notice of the playthings lyingabout, and sometimes, for no reason whatever, she went swooping about like agreat wind and hustled them away in cupboards.

One evening, when the Boy wasgoing to bed, he couldn’t find the china dog that always slept with him. Nanawas in a hurry, and it was too much trouble to hunt for china dogs at bedtime,so she simply looked about her, and seeing that the toy cupboard door stoodopen, she made a swoop.

“Here,” she said, “take your oldBunny! He’ll do to sleep with you!” And she dragged the Rabbit out by one ear,and put him into the Boy’s arms.
