Now, everything in Giantland was so big, that the common people saw only a
mass of awful mountains and clouds; and no living man had ever come from
it, as far as anybody knew, to tell what he had seen in it.
"Somewhere near these borders, on the other side, by the edge of a great
forest, lived a labourer with his wife and a great many children. One day
Tricksey-Wee, as they called her, teased her brother Buffy-Bob, till he
could not bear it any longer, and gave her a box on the ear. Tricksey-Wee
cried; and Buffy-Bob was so sorry and ashamed of himself, that he cried
too, and ran off into the wood. He was so long gone, that Tricksey-Wee
began to be frightened, for she was very fond of her brother; and she was
so sorry that she had first teased him, and then cried, that at last she
ran into the wood to look for him, though there was more chance of losing
herself than of finding him. And, indeed, so it seemed likely to turn out;
for, running on without looking, she at length found herself in a valley
she knew nothing about.
