Little Men

CHAPTER VIII
7/16

Demi proposed that they should bury poor Annabella, and in the interest of the funeral Teddy forgot his fright.

Daisy was soon consoled by another batch of dolls from Aunt Amy, and the Naughty Kitty-mouse seemed to be appeased by the last offerings, for she tormented them no more.
"Brops" was the name of a new and absorbing play, invented by Bangs.
As this interesting animal is not to be found in any Zoological Garden, unless Du Chaillu has recently brought one from the wilds of Africa, I will mention a few of its peculiar habits and traits, for the benefit of inquiring minds.

The Brop is a winged quadruped, with a human face of a youthful and merry aspect.

When it walks the earth it grunts, when it soars it gives a shrill hoot, occasionally it goes erect, and talks good English.

Its body is usually covered with a substance much resembling a shawl, sometimes red, sometimes blue, often plaid, and, strange to say, they frequently change skins with one another.
