Tom expected,  I am still telling you what happened to the famous water baby,  Tom expected (like some grown people who ought to know better) that he would find Mother Carey snipping, piecing, fitting, stitching, cobbling, basting, filing, planing, hammering, turning, polishing, moulding, measuring, chiselling, clipping, and so forth, as men do when they go to work to make anything. But instead of that she sat quite still with her chin upon her hand, looking down into the sea with two great blue eyes as blue as the sea itself. TOM EXPECTED I AM STILL TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FAMOUS WATER BABY TOM EXPECTED LIKE SOME GROWN PEOPLE WHO OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER THAT HE WOULD FIND MOTHER CAREY SNIPPING PIECING FITTING STITCHING COBBLING BASTING FILING PLANING HAMMERING TURNING POLISHING MOULDING MEASURING CHISELING CLIPPING AND SO FORTH AS MEN DO WHEN THEY GO TO WORK TO MAKE ANYTHING BUT INSTEAD OF THAT SHE SAT QUITE STILL WITH HER CHIN UPON HER HAND LOOKING DOWN INTO THE SEA WITH TWO GREAT BLUE EYES AS BLUE AS THE SEA ITSELF
table Tom the Water Baby swims past Shiny Wall, and reaches at last Peacepool? Peacepool, where the good whales lie, waiting till Mother Carey shall send for them "to make them out of old beasts into new"? Tom swims up to the nearest whale and asks the way to Mother Carey. "There she is in the middle," says the whale, though Tom sees nothing but a glittering white peak like an iceberg. "That's Mother Carey," spouts the whale, "as you will find if you get to her. There she sits making old beasts into new all the year round." "How does she do that?" asks Tom. "That's her concern, not mine!" the whale remarks discreetly. And when Tom came nearer to the white glittering peak it took the form of something like a lovely woman sitting on a white marble throne. And from the foot of the throne, you remember, there swam away, out and out into the sea, millions of new-born creatures of more shapes and colors than man ever dreamed. And they were Mother Carey's children whom she makes all day long. OU REMEMBER WHERE KINGSLEY'S REDOUBTABLE TONE THE WATER BABY SWIMS PAST SHINY WALL AND REACHES THAT LAST PEACEPOOL PEACE POOL WHERE THE GOOD WHALES LIE WAITING TILL MOTHER CAREY SHALL SEND FOR THEM TO MAKE THEM OUT OF OLD BEASTS INTO NEW TOM SWIMS UP TO THE NEAREST WHALE AND ASKS THE WAY TO MOTHER CAREY THERE SHE IS IN THE MIDDLE SAYS THE WHALE THOUGH TOM SEES NOTHING BUT A GLITTERING WHITE PEAK LIKE AN ICEBERG THAT'S MOTHER CAREY SPOUTS THE WHALE AS YOU WILL FIND IF YOU GET TO HER THERE SHE SITS MAKING OLD BEASTS INTO NEW ALL THE YEAR ROUND HOW DOES SHE DO THAT ASKS TOM THAT'S HER CONCERN NOT MINE THE WHALE REMARKS DISCREETLY AND WHEN TOM CAME NEARER TO THE WHITE GLITTERING PEAK IT TOOK THE FORM OF SOMETHING LIKE A LOVELY WOMANITTING ON A WHITE MARBLE THRONE AND FROM THE FOOT OF THE THRONE YOU REMEMBER THERE SWAM AWAY OUT AND OUT INTO THE SEA MILLIONS OF NEW BORN CREATURES OF MORE SHAPES AND COLORS THAN MAN EVER DREAMED AND THEY WERE MOTHER CAREY'S CHILDREN WHOM SHE MAKES ALL DAY LONG
