Winkle, Twinkle and Lollypop meet Mr. Ebb and Mr. Flood
"In the nursery of the big house on the hill there was a great, wide, enormous bed with pineapple posts. And in this bed slept three children, called Winkle, Twinkle, and Lollypop. Of course, these were not there real names, but everyone called them so, because the names suited them.
"Winkle and Twinkle were boys, and Lollypop was their sister. All three were the same age, having come to their lovely mother at the very same time.
"They were great chums. All three ate together, and dressed together, and slept in a row in the great wide enormous bed with pineapple posts."
