Did you ever know a boy named Ebenezer J. carrottop?"
"Andiron Tales"

He used to get just as angry when we reminded him that he was quite as much of a Snoraloud as a carrottop, as you were when we called you Sleepyhead, and when my brother Lefty here said to him, 'Hullo, Weasel,' he didn't like it a bit better than you did when we said you were a Dormouse.
