In a corner of the bedroom is a great big curtain,
⁠Someone lives behind it, but I don’t know who;
I think it is a Brownie, but I’m not quite certain.
⁠(Nanny isn’t certain, too.)

I looked behind the curtain, but he went so quickly—
⁠Brownies never wait to say, "How do you do?"
They wriggle off at once because they’re all so tickly
⁠(Nanny says they’re tickly too.)
