Frances Hodgson Burnett Quote
Don’t chirrup so loud, Donald, Janet said. When you come to cheer an ill person up you don’t cheer him up at the top of your voice. Perhaps cheering up is too loud, Mr. Carrisford? turning to the Indian gentleman. But he only patted her shoulder.No, it isn’t, he answered. And it keeps me from thinking too much.I’m going to be quiet, Donald shouted. We’ll all be as quiet as mice.Mice don’t make a noise like that, said Janet.Donald made a bridle of his handkerchief and bounced up and down on the tiger’s head.A whole lot of mice might, he said cheerfully. A thousand mice might.I don’t believe fifty thousand mice would, said Janet, severely; and we have to be as quiet as mouse.Mr. Carrisford laughed and patted her shoulder again.
