He whirled round. “You shouldn’t cally big fings like vat,” he said sternly, grasping the parcel—somewhat astonished to find it weighed much less than he expected. Brownie had already noted that it dangled by its loop from one of Tommy’s fingers, and might therefore be carried by a gentleman four years old. She believed in the Billabong doctrine that men couldn’t be trained too early to look after their women-folk.
