Jill was just as indignant as you and I would have been t the mention of toys and dolls; and, though lollipops nd comfits might be all very well in their way, she very uch hoped that something more solid would be provided. he Queen‘s foolish speech, however, produced excellent esults, for Puddleglum and Scrubb were at once picked up y gigantic gentlemen.in.waiting, and Jill by a gigantic maid f honour, and carried off to their rooms.
Jill’s room was about the size of a church, and would ave been rather grim if it had not had a roaring fire on he hearth and a very thick crimson carpet on the floor. nd here delightful things began to happen to her. She was anded over to the Queen‘s old Nurse, who was, from the iants’ point of view, a little old woman almost bent double ith age, and, from the human point of view, a giantess mall enough to go about an ordinar y room without nocking her head on the ceiling. She was very capable,though Jill did wish she wouldn‘t keep on clicking her tongue and saying things like “Oh la, la! Ups.a.daisy” and “There’s a duck” and “Now we‘ll be all right, my poppet”.
