Minny

"My scissors, please, if you can renounce the great pleasure of persecuting my poor Minny."

"You are going to change Minny's diet, and give him three ratafias soaked in a dessert-spoonful of cream daily?"

He gave me my Minny when I lost Lolo; and papa is very fond of him: he says Tom has excellent principles.

Minny's mistress was charmed; but Minny, who had intrenched himself, trembling, in his basket as soon as the music began, found this thunder so little to his taste that he leaped out and scampered under the remotest chiffonnier , as the most eligible place in which a small dog could await the crack of doom.

"What's the matter, then, Minny?" she said, stooping in answer to some whimpering of that small quadruped, and lifting his glossy head against her pink cheek.

'And I should delight to look round me from the brow of that tallest point: my little pony Minny shall take me some time.'

Come, let us seek for Minny ourselves, and begone.'
