Madam How and Lady Why

CHAPTER XII--HOMEWARD BOUND
18/68

But that belongs to the second volume of Madam How's Book of Kind; and you have not yet learned any of the first volume, you know, except about a few butterflies.

Look here! Here are more whales coming.

Don't be frightened.

They are only little ones, mackerel-hunting, like the big one.
What pretty smooth things, turning head over heels, and saying, "Hush, Hush!" They don't really turn clean over; and that "Hush" is their way of breathing.
Are they the young ones of that great monster?
No; they are porpoises.

That big one is, I believe, a bottle-nose.
