Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Land of Lost Toys It was certainly an aggravated offence. It is generally understood in families that "boys will be boys," but there is a limit to the forbearance implied in the i i extenuating axiom. Master Sam was condemned to the back nursery for the rest of the day. He always had had the knack of Breaking his own toys, - he not unfrequently broke other peoples; but accidents will happen, and his twin sister and factotum, Dot, was long-suffering. Dot was fat, resolute, hasty, and devotedly unselfish. When Sam scalped her new doll, and fastened the glossy black curls to a wigwam improvised with the curtains of the four-post bed in the best bedroom, Dot was sorely tried. As her eyes passed from the crownless doll on the floor to the floss-silk ringlets hanging from the bed-furniture, her round rosy face grew rounder and rosier, and tears burst from her eyes. But in a moment more she clenched her little fists, forced back the tears, and gave vent to her favorite saying, "I don´t care." That sentence was Dot´s bane and antidote; it was her vice and her virtue. It was her standing consolation, and it brought her into all her scrapes.
