And still she sat, and still she reeled, and still she wished for company. In came a pair of huge huge hands, and sat down on the small small arms; And still she sat, and still she reeled, and still she wished for company. In came a small small neck, and sat down on the broad broad shoulders; And still she sat, and still she reeled, and still she wished for company. In came a huge huge head, and sat down on the small small neck. “How did you get such broad broad feet?” quoth the woman. “Much tramping, much tramping” (_gruffly_). “How did you get such small small legs?” “Aih-h-h!-late--and wee-e-e--moul” (_whiningly_). “How did you get such thick thick knees?” “Much praying, much praying” (_piously_). “How did you get such thin thin thighs?” “Aih-h-h!--late--and wee-e-e--moul” (_whiningly_). “How did you get such big big hips?” “Much sitting, much sitting” (_gruffly_). “How did you get such a wee wee waist?” “Aih-h-h!--late--and wee-e-e-moul” (_whiningly_). “How did you get such broad broad shoulders?” “With carrying broom, with carrying broom” (_gruffly_). “How did you get such small small arms?” “Aih-h-h!--late--and wee-e-e--moul” (_whiningly_.) “How did you get such huge huge hands?” “Threshing with an iron flail, threshing with an iron flail” (_gruffly_). “How did you get such a small small neck?” “Aih-h-h!--late--wee-e-e--moul” (_pitifully_). “How did you get such a huge huge head?” “Much knowledge, much knowledge” (_keenly_). “What do you come for?” “FOR YOU!” (_At the top of the voice, with a wave of the arm and a stamp of the feet._) THE LAIDLY WORM OF SPINDLESTON HEUGH In Bamborough Castle once lived a king who had a fair wife and two children, a son named Childe Wynd and a daughter named Margaret. Childe Wynd went forth to seek his fortune, and soon after he had gone the queen his mother died. The king mourned her long and faithfully, but one day while he was hunting he came across a lady of great beauty, and became so much in love with her that he determined to marry her. So he sent word home that he was going to bring a new queen to Bamborough Castle.
