You must wear a pink
wrapper, and drink tea out of a pink cup, and eat pink wintergreen
candy!"
Snubby Nose liked the idea of wintergreen candy. He hugged Doctor
Cotton-Tail and stopped crying at once.
Susan got a pink wrapper and got a pink china cup for his tea. Grandpa
Grumbles felt in his overcoat pocket and took out sixteen pieces of
Wintergreen candy. It was pink wintergreen candy of course!
Susan said to Doctor Cotton-Tail, "How did you happen to come out in
this big snowstorm?"
Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "I had a call to make, I was going to visit--"
Just then Susan began to sneeze. She sneezed so hard she nearly sneezed
her head off!
Doctor Cotton-Tail said,
"Susan that is quite absurd,
Such sneezing I have never heard."
Susan said by and by, "I beg your pardon, what were you saying when I
started to sneeze?"
Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "I had a call, I was going to visit--"
At this very minute Snubby Nose set up a shout, for dear Bunny
Cotton-Tail leaned too near the candle and burned one of his whiskers!
Then Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella fiercely and
said,
"Such a noise I never heard,
I cannot hear a single word."

HUNDRED AND SIX YEARS"]
Grandpa Grumbles had been sitting very still in a corner and Doctor
Cotton-Tail had not seen him up to this minute.
