And that is that, there is no more

[MrsPernicious]

"And that is that, there is no more"

Where does this come from?
Beatrix Potter
Tales of the unexpected
Roald Dahl
Alfred Hitchcock
pre 1991 quote so not easy to google

Help
Please
DH and I are feeling useless and potentially argumentative.

Could you mean “ That's all there is, there isn't any more”

@WingBingo ,maybe.
Tell me more.

It sounds quite Dr Seuss to me but that's a guess

@doctorhamster, a possibility.
But I think DD has them all memorised.
DH and I are thinking it is something from our youth.

It's Bagpuss isn't it?

The end bit is 'there isn't anymore' with emphasis on the 'isn't'

Spoken by an older male, quite well spoken and cultured voice. At the end of an episode

The last line in all the " Madeline " books.

Was it really bagpuss?

No no no

It's Madeline!!! Absolutely. Previous poster is spot on

@LisaLemon argh you beat me to it! Definitely Madeline. Fantastic little poem-story.

Yes it is Madeline.

But DH and I would both have gone for the older male bit...

My money was on Pigling Bland

It's definitely an older man who speaks the poem so you're right there

‘In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines’

Yes, the old Madeline programmes, they were a wee bit dark. Before it became a bit happy clappy.

That's what I thought too.

Bagpuss always finished with

And so their work was done.
Bagpuss gave a big yawn and settled down to sleep
And, of course, when Bagpuss goes to sleep,
All his friends go to sleep too.
The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.
Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.
And Professor Yaffle was a carved, wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker.
Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat,
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams,
But Emily loved him.

I can’t even read that without crying @jessbow

Bagpuss makes he howl

"That's all there is, there isn't any more" was a phrase Ethel Barrymore used to rebuff curtain calls. The line entered the national consciousness of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s and has often been referenced and parodied."

"In literature it was the closing line for every book in the children's series Madeline, and it would become the franchise's most famous phrase."

Bagpuss makes my cry
As does 'and over the hills and far away, she danced with Pigling Bland'

Madeleine.
