Not of bit of it. "There's no chimney," Peter said; "we must
have a chimney."

"It certainly does need a chimney," said John importantly.
This gave Peter an idea. He snatched the hat off John's head,
knocked out the bottom [top], and put the hat on the roof. The
little house was so pleased to have such a capital chimney that,
as if to say thank you, smoke immediately began to come out of
the hat.

Now really and truly it was finished. Nothing remained to do
but to knock.

"All look your best," Peter warned them; "first impressions are
awfully important."

He was glad no one asked him what first impressions are; they
were all too busy looking their best.
