Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lucy who looked at a farm called Little Town. She was a good little girl. Only she was always losing her pocket hangar shifts. One day little Lucy came to the farm yard crying. Oh, she did quite so. I've lost my pocket hankin. Three hankin than a penny. Have you seen them type of kitten? The kitten went on washing her white paws. So Lucy asked a speckled hen. Sally, honey, honey, have you found three pocket hankins?
But a speckled hen ran into a barn, clucking. I go barefoot. Barefoot. Barefoot. And then Lucy asked cock robin sitting on a twig. Cock robin looked sideways at Lucy with his bright black eye. And he flew over a style in a way. Lucy climbed up on the style looked up at the hill behind Little Town. A hill that goes up, up into the clouds, as though it had no top. In a great way up the hillside, she thought she saw some white things spread up on the grass. Lucy scrambled up the hill as fast as her stout legs would carry her. She ran along a steep pathway up and up until Little Town was right away down below. She could have dropped a pebble down the chimney. Presently she came to a spring, bubbling up from the hillside. Someone had stood a tin can upon a stone to catch the water. But the water was already running over, for the can was no bigger than an egg cup.
And where the sand upon the path was wet, there were footmuffs of a very small person. Lucy ran on and on. The path ended under a big rock. The grass was short and green, and there were clothes. Props cut from back and stems with lines of plated rushes, and a heap of tiny clothespins. But no pocket hankerships. But there was something else, a door straight into the hill, and inside it, someone was singing. Lily White and a clean home, with little fills between the walls. Smooth and hot, red rusty spot, never here be seen. Lucy knocked once, twice, and interrupted the song. A little frightened voice called out, who's that? Lucy opened the door, and what do you think there was inside the hill?
A nice clean kitchen, with a flanged floor, and wooden beams. Just like any other farm kitchen. Only the ceiling was so low, that Lucy's head nearly touched it, and the pots and pans were small. And so was everything there. There was a nice hot, syngy smell, and at the table, with an iron in her hand, through the very stout, short person, staring anxiously at Lucy. Her print gown was tucked up, and she was wearing a large apron over her striped pedicote. Her little black nose went sniffle, sniffle, snuffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle. And underneath her cap, where Lucy had yellow curls, that little person had prickles. Who are you, said Lucy? Have you seen my pocket hankens? The little person made a bob curtsy. Oh yes, if you please them.
My name is Mrs. Teggie Winkle. Oh yes, if you please them. I am an excellent queer starter, and she took something out of a clothes basket, and spread it on the ironing blanket. What's that thing, said Lucy? That's not my pocket hankens. Oh no, if you please them. That's a little squallant waistcoat belonging to Cobb Robin, and she ironed it and folded it. I put it on one side. Then she took something else out of a clothesource. That is in my penny, said Lucy. Oh no, if you please them. That's a domestic tablecloth belonging to Jenny Red. Look how it's staying with current wine. It's very bad to wash. So Mrs. Teggie Winkle. Mrs. Teggie Winkle's nose went sniffles, sniffles, snuffles, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle. And she patched another hot iron from the fire. There's one of my pocket hankens, quite Lucy, and there's my penny.
Mrs. Teggie Winkle ironed it and got her it and she got the frills. Oh that is lovely, said Lucy. And what are those long yellow things with fingers like gloves? Oh that's a pair of stockings belonging to Sally Henney Penny. Look how she swung the hills out with scratching in the yard. Showed very soon called Brefford, said Mrs. Teggie Winkle. Why? There's another hankers sniff. But it isn't mine. It's red. Oh no, if you please them. That one belongs to Ole Mrs. Rabbit, and it did so smell of onions. I've had to wash it separately. I can't get out the smell. There's another one of mine, said Lucy. What are those funny little white things? That's a pair of mittens belonging to Taby Kitten. I only have to iron them. She washes them herself. There's my last pocket hankens, said Lucy. And what are you dipping into the paves end of starch?
There little Deggie Shirt Friends belonging to Tom Tegmouse, most terrible particular. Mrs. Teggie Winkle. Now we've finished my ironing and going to air some clothes. What are those deer socks? Lovely things, said Lucy. Oh, those are woolly coats belonging to the little lambs at Skiggyl. Well, their jackets take off as Lucy. Oh yes, if you please them. Look at the sheep mark on the shoulder. And here's one mark for Gid's scarf. And three that came from little town. They're always marked at washing. So Mrs. Teggie Winkle. And she hung up all sorts and sizes of clothes. Small brown coats of mice. And one velvety black mullskin waistcoat. And a red tellcoat was no tail belonging to Squirrel Lodkin. And a very much shrunk blue jacket belonging to Peter Rabbit. And a petty coat not marked. That I'd gone lost in the washing. And at last the basket was empty. Then Mrs. Teggie Winkle made tea.
A cup for herself and a cup for Lucy. They sat before the fire on a bench and looked sideways at one another. Mrs. Teggie Winkle's hand holding the tea cup was very, very brown. And very, very wrinkly with the soap-suts. And all through her gown and her cape. There were hairpins sticking wrong end out. So that Lucy didn't like to sit too near her. When they had finished tea, they tied up the clothes and bundles. And Lucy's pocket hangerships were folded up inside her clean penny. And fastened with a silver safety pin. And then they made up the fire with turf. And came out and locked the door. And hit the key under the door sill. Then away down the hill, tried to Lucy and Mrs. Teggie Winkle with the bundle of clothes. All the way down the path little animals came out of the fern to meet them. The very first that they met were Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.
And she gave them their nice clean clothes. And all the little animals and birds were so very much obliged to dare Mrs. Teggie Winkle. So that at the bottom of the hill, when they came to the style, there was nothing left to carry except Lucy's one little bundle. Lucy scrambled up the style with the bundle in her hand. And then she turned to say goodnight and to thank the washerwoman. What a very odd thing. Mrs. Teggie Winkle had not waited either for thanks to for the washing bill. She was running, running, running up the hill. And where was her white-filled cap and her shell and her gown and her penny coat? And how small she had ground and how brown and covered with briggles. Why? Mrs. Teggie Winkle was nothing but a hedgehog. Now some people say that little Lucy had been asleep upon the style. But then how could she have found three clean pocket hankens and a penny,
pinned with a silver safety pin? And besides, I have seen that door into the back of the hill called Cat Bells. And besides, I am very well acquainted with dear Mrs. Teggie Winkle.
