French phrases are detestable where there is any English equivalent, but in this case there is none, so I will explain to the youngest reader  who may speak only one language  that the base of Peter was always clean.

 not a great big boy!" cried Peter, "I'm only a great big little boy!" "Don't waste time, sweet Pete; go to work!" "_I want Joanna_!" roared Peter with the voice of an infant bull. "So we all do. It's because she had to go that I'm darning stockings." The net tightened round Peter's defenceless body and he hurled himself against his rocking horse and dragged it brutally to a corner. Having disposed of most of his strength and temper in this operation, he put away the rest of his goods and chattels more quietly, but with streaming eyes and heaving bosom. "Splendid!" commented Mother Carey. "Joanna couldn't have done it better, and it won't be half so much work next time." Peter heard the words "next time" distinctly, and knew the grim face of Duty at last, though he was less than five. The second and far more tragic time was when he was requested to make himself ready for luncheon,--Kathleen to stand near and help "a little" if really necessary. Now Peter _au fond_ was absolutely clean.
