Don't think I'm the only one that knows you why, good Lord, Stella, I've no monopoly on the knowledge! Do you know what they'll say of you, all these fair weather friends that've dropped you like a smashed toy? I DO they'll say you've wrung me dry, and that now I'm ruined you've chucked me just as they thought you would.

At last that worthy made his appearance. "Well?" cried Tommy eagerly. "It's all right. While they was a-running of you out the window opened, and something was chucked out."
This last was addressed to Prince Inga, whom he chucked familiarly under the chin, to the boy's great embarrassment. "Why do you not ride a horse?" asked King Kitticut. "I can't climb upon his back, being rather stout; that's why. Kee, kee, keek, eek! rather stout hoo, hoo, hoo!"
