He swung her up and over his shoulder. With a stun-pistol in his free hand he headed down the hall. "Outside," she said zestfully.

Murgatroyd zestfully licked his empty cup to get the last least drop of coffee. He said hopefully: "Chee?" He wanted more.
The Dago's smile was gone now; his forehead was puckered like a child's in bewilderment, and a darker doubt at the back of his thoughts loomed up in his troubled eyes. "No," said the Cockney, watching him zestfully. "You got it wrong, Dago, an' there ain't no such place. You dreamt it. Savvy?
