Oh! I remember, it was a spool of thread.
Yes, Mrs. Twistytail got so interested talking to the duck lady
about a new way to make a tight dress loose that she forgot all
about the spool of thread.
"Well, mamma is staying quite a long time," said Baby Pinky after a
bit, as she sat by the window. "I hope nothing has happened to her."
She looked, but she could not see her mamma coming back, and then
Pinky said:
"I guess I'll just dust off the piano, to keep busy, and it won't
seem so long until mamma comes home."
So she began knocking the dust off the piano to the floor just as
Jennie Chipmunk did it with her tail brush, and Pinky made so much
noise that she did not hear the door open and some one come in. That
is she did not until she heard some one walking in the room behind
her, and then the little piggie girl turned around and exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma! How you frightened me."
But, oh my! when she saw who was in the room, poor Pinky was
frightened more than ever.
