"But you're not a galloping horse," objected Johnnie, laughing and clutching the comb away from her.
"Tut, tut!" he remonstrated good-naturedly. "That's just mood again. We're out of the woods, literally and figuratively. If you're hungry, let's go and see what we can make this hotel produce in the way of grub, before we do anything else."
