"Oh, let's crawl in and see the cave!" now begged Barbara eagerly. "You know you'd get stuck in that narrow tunnel, Bob!
He patrolled the cañon walls, the roadmasters behind him, with so good an eye for loose bowlders, and fragments such as could be moved readily with a gad, that his assistants before a second round had spotted every handy chunk of rock within fifty feet of the water.

And then the Whale signed himself, "Your great big-hearted friend, the Whale." Uncle Bullfrog sings a song That is never very long. All he says is, "Chunk, ker-chunk!" Then he splashes in ker-plunk, And the little fishes swim, Oh, so fast away from him! If they didn't, don't you think He would eat 'em in a wink? Now who do you suppose was singing this song?

"You got the middleman's chunk, at any rate," retorted Zurich. "I did the middleman's work," said the gambler tranquilly. "Now, gentlemen, we have not been agreeing very well of late. Eric, in particular, has been far from flattering in his estimates of my social and civic value. We are agreed on that? Very well. I may have mentioned my intelligence? And that I rate it highly?
