Even home-taught children ought to know something about putting greater into lesser,\" observed Bob. \"Would you mind telling us what you're driving at, Keren-happuch, my dear?\"\u003cbr\u003eHappie groaned. \"This room is quite squeedged enough with us six Scollards in it, without crowding in my dreadful name, Robert, my dear,\" she retorted. \"What I was driving at was a harmless little humorous joke. This kitchen is eight feet wide, and we have twelve feet, we six, haven't we? I was wishing we had more space to stand on; that's all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"That's right; always make humorous jokes,\" approved Bob. \"I've heard lots of jokes that hadn't a touch of humor. Yours isn't so very—but never mind! You know we needn't put all the twelve feet into the eight. This room is nine feet long. What's the matter with putting a few of our feet down the length of it? Say seven of the twelve, for instance?\"\u003cbr\u003eHappie laughed. \"I hadn't thought of dividing them that way,\" she said. \"But the worst of standing any of your feet lengthwise of the room is that it brings some of you in between the range and the sink, and then I can't stir the fudge. Though to be sure if you all stand widthwise I can't get to the closet.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068160786672,"sku":"2940149909544","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149909544_p0.jpg?v=1763727039","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149909544","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
