"My poppa's pet name for me at dinner was ostrich," said wee mouse, rapidly discussing breast and wing of duck, etc. "Sir Lionel, here's a conundrum for you; what is the thirstiest animal?" "Man," he answered demurely. "One for you; you are placed, Tilton," and the pink eyes peered at a window.
"He is on land, you know, just as we are; and the old lighthouse is as strong as the 'Lady Jane'; and God can take care of him anywhere." "Sure He can, lad, He can.
