'Let the others think what they please,' said she, 'but _I_ don't believe in Santa Claus. I'm not going to bed, either. I'm going to creep out of this dark hole and have a quiet romp, all by myself, in the moonlight.' LET THE OTHERS THINK WHAT THEY PLEASE SAID SHE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS I'M NOT GOING TO BED EITHER I'M GOING TO CREEP OUT OF THIS DARK HOLE AND HAVE A QUIET RUMP ALL BY MYSELF IN THE MOONLIGHT
ently there were diverse opinions as to the kind of gift which Santa Claus should best bring; still, there was, as you can readily understand, an enthusiastic unanimity upon this point, namely, that the gift should be cheese of some brand or other. "'My dears,' said our mother, 'what matters it whether the boon which Santa Claus brings be royal English cheddar or fromage de Bricquebec, Vermont sage, or Herkimer County skim-milk? We should be content with whatsoever Santa Claus bestows, so long as it be cheese, disjoined from all traps whatsoever, unmixed with Paris green, and free from glass, strychnine, and other harmful ingredients. As for myself, I shall be satisfied with a cut of nice, fresh Western reserve; for truly I recognize in no other viand or edible half the fragrance or half the gustfulness to be met with in one of these pale but aromatic domestic products. So run away to your dreams now, that Santa Claus may find you sleeping.' "The children obeyed,--all but Squeaknibble. TTLE ONES THEN AND CONSEQUENTLY THERE WERE DIVERSE OPINIONS AS TO THE KIND OF GIFT WHICH SANTA CLAUS SHOULD BEST BRING STILL THERE WAS AS YOU CAN READILY UNDERSTAND AN ENTHUSIASTIC UNANIMITY UPON THIS POINT NAMELY THAT THE GIFT SHOULD BE CHEESE OF SOME BRAND OR OTHER MY DEARS SAID OUR MOTHER WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER THE BOON WHICH SANTA CLAUS BRINGS BE ROYAL ENGLISH CHEDDA OR FROM HOMAGE DU BRIQUE QUEBEC ROMONT SAGE OR HERKIMER COUNTY SKIM MILK WE SHOULD BE CONTENT WITH WHATSOEVER SANTA CLAUS BESTOWS SO LONG AS IT BE CHEESE DISJOINED FROM ALL TRAPS WHATSOEVER UNMIXED WITH PARIS GREEN AND FREE FROM GLASS STRICT NINE AND OTHER HARMFUL INGREDIENTS AS FOR MYSELF I SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH A COST OF NICE FRESH WESTERN RESERVE FOR TRULY I RECOGNIZE IN NO OTHER VIAND OR EDIBLE HALF THE FRAGRANCE OR HALF THE GUSTFULNESS TO BE MET WITH IN ONE OF THESE PALE BUT AROMATIC DOMESTIC PRODUCTS SO RUN AWAY TO YOUR DREAMS NOW THAT SANTA CLAUS MAY FIND YOU SLEEPING THE CHILDREN OBEYED ALL BUT SQUEAK NIBBLE
