"Which one played that low-down trick on us?" demanded Pete Quash angrily. "I reckon it was Fatty," said Polly. "He's the one that would have thought of a thing like that.

"Even among the brutes, Quash," he remarked, as he patted the nose of his own steed, "we are meant to `overcome evil with good.
