I saw that she had them now at last, "w-h-a-l-e," but was regarding them as blankly as ever. "Pray do not move them again," I cried hopefully, finding the game more exciting than I had anticipated. "You have it, 'w-h-a-l-e, whale see?" Miss Pray looked shocked and dubious.

How will they make steam if there's no fuel for the fire?" "Oh!" gasped Bess, "I never thought of that. Goodness, Nan, we'll be frozen to icicles!" "Not yet, I hope," said Nan, getting up briskly.
