Alan Alexander Milne,
A Gallery of Children — Miss Waterlow in Bed
(1925)
“ Miss Waterlow sighed. She never seemed to get very near. "Perhaps I shall never tell them," said Miss Waterlow sadly "Perhaps they don't have the word." "Perhaps they don't," said Teddy. "It's a funny thing about them," he went on, waking up slightly, "what a few words they have got. Take 'condensedmilk' as an example. It does, but it isn't really, if you see what I mean. That's why I never talk to 'em now. They don't get any richness into their words—they don't get any what I call flavour. There's no bite." ”
