"Oh, schoolboys at home for the holidays are always a nuisance.

"I don't care what she looks like, she'll fly," said Sahwah stoutly. "Well, I care what she looks like," returned Agony. "I tell you everybody will laugh at us and our one-eyed kite."

To the best of Hanlon's recollection the little fellow wore a mackinaw jacket, but he did not notice this in particular.
