Stop talking Quote by Neil Gaiman
““She's not talking now," muttered the Rani's aunt, wagging one stick-like finger. "That tiger is throwing his voice." "Can no-one get that woman to stop talking?" asked the Rajah of the room. "Easier to stop 'em than start 'em," said the tiger, and he dealt with the matter.””
