He know so much, that make him able for the bad, see, like for the good.

Yes! Sometime, he steal the sugar; sometime he come in when we make music, and make wiz us yells, and spoil the music; sometime he make the horreebl' faces at the poppies and make scream them with fear." "Kin poppies scream ?" asked Petie, opening great eyes of wonder.

"My! ourn can't.

We've got big red ones, biggest ever you see, but I never heerd a sound out of 'em." Explanations ensued, and a digression in favour of the six puppies, whose noses were softer and whose tails were funnier than anything else in the known, world; and then-- "So Coquelicot, he come and he sit down before the poppies, and he open his mouth, so!" here Marie opened her pretty mouth, and tried to look like a malicious poodle,--with singular lack of success; but Petie was delighted, and clapped his hands and laughed.
"And then," Marie went on, "Lisette, she is the poppies' mother, and she hear them, and she come wiz yells, too, and try to drive Coquelicot, but he take her wiz his teeth and shake her, and throw her away, and go on to make faces, and all is horreebl' noise, to wake deads.
