When you opened the door a bell tinkled, but just once, high and clear and small in the neat obscurity above the door, as though it were gauged and tempered to make that single clear small sound so as not to wear the bell out nor to require the expenditure of too much silence in restoring it when the door opened upon the recent warm scent of baking; a little dirty child with eyes like a toy bear's and two patent-leather pigtails.

A Tragic Story --- William M. Thackeray There lived a sage in days of yore, And he a handsome pigtail wore But wondered much, and sorrowed more, Because it hung behind him. He mused upon this curious case, And swore he'd change the pigtail's place, And have it hanging at his face, Not dangling there behind him. Says he, Ah, the mystery I've found-- I'll turn me round, --he turned him round But still it hung behind him. Then round and round, and out and in, All day the puzzled sage did spin In vain--it mattered not a pin-- The pigtail hung behind him. And right, and left, and round about, And up, and down, and in, and out He turned but still the pigtail stout Hung steadily behind him. And though his efforts never slack, And though he twist, and twirl, and tack, Alas Still faithful to his back, The pigtail hangs behind him.
