The Muffletumps tells the story of four living dolls who live in trunks in the attic of the Beddigan family's house.

When the Beddigans go on vacation to Pear Lake, the dolls - Edward, Henrietta, Elsie, and Maud - come to life and engage in various activities. They take care of the house, mend their clothes, write poetry, cook, feed the neighborhood dogs, and so on. One strange event is the arrival of a package of lavender scented soaps: "Chewing it made them sleepy." When the Beddigans return, the dolls rush to get back in their trunks.

Excerpts

When the people family go, then the Muffletumps take over. The house is theirs.
added by eyemyth.

The phrase "people family" seems unique.

It was Maud who liked to look wistfully out at the tulip tree. She didn't know why. Maybe she wanted to climb it.
added by eyemyth.
Up in the attic there were large trunks from long ago.
Muffle!
Thump!
Mysterious noises came from the trunks!
The lids would open just as the Beddigans disappeared.
Mysterious, brown sounds!
Soft and rustling!
Down from the attic they step in a row!
added by eyemyth.

A few odd things: the exclamation for "Soft and rustling!" and "brown sounds"
