Hunca Munca has had twins again—as usual; the rabbit-babies are fed up with blackberries from Mr. McGregor’s garden. You may go and see all these things for yourself.Narrator
You could not get her to look at anything except dolls—the dolls up-stairs, and the dolls down-stairs.Narrator
Presently the cupboard-door opened, and two ugly little black kittens came out. After that, another kitten, a very ugly, almost as big as a cat. It was Tom Kitten.Narrator
