The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle (9)

" What are these dear soft fluffy things ? " said Lucie.

"Oh these are woolly coats belonging to the little lambs at skelghy ! "

" Will their jackets take off ? "

" Oh, yes, if please'm;
look at the sheep-markon the shoulder. And here's one marked for Gatesgarth, and three that come from Little-town.

They're always marked at washing ! " said Mrs.Tiggy-winkle.




And she hung up all sorts and sizes of clothes
ーsmall brown coats of mice;
and one vevetly black mole-skin waist coat;
and a red tail-coat with no tail belonging to Squirrel Nutkin;
and a very much shrunk blue jacket belonging to Peter Rabbit;
And a petticoat, not marked, that had gone lost in the washing
ーand at last the basket was empty !
