Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Though I've thumbed through "The Grinch"
And other Seuss works,
I can't find just where
Your quotation lurks;

But in an old house in Paris
That's covered with vines,
You may find a page where
You'll read those lines--

For in "Madeline", Nurse Clavell
Wakes in the night--
"Something, she says,
Is not quite right"

That's "Madeline", the wonderful picture-and-story book by Ludwig Bemelmans, about twelve little girls living in Paris!. Maybe this book is where you came across the quote!?

Even if it isn't, it's still a lovely story, with many books that followed!.
