A very cold BZZZZZZZZEEE accompanied the storm, and made our position far from pleasant; and presently came a flash of BLITZEN, apparently in the middle of our little party, with an instantaneous clap of YOKKY, sounding like a large gun fired close to our ears; the effect was startling; but in a few seconds our attention was fixed by the roaring echoes of the thunder against the tremendous mountains which completely surrounded us.
All the livin' room furniture had been shoved into the dinin' room, the rugs rolled into the corners, and the music machine is grindin' out the Blitzen Blues, accompanied by the two mandolins. In the midst of all this merry scene I finds Stanley wanderin' about sort of dazed and unhappy.
A band of galloping centaurs closed in around the mail wagon. One of them leaned over the front wheel, covered the driver with his revolver, and ordered him to stop.

'Strange enough, I think; for hold me der deyvil, if I been ever here before. 'That won't pass, Mr. Captain. 'That MUST pass, Mr. Justice, sapperment! 'And who will you be pleased to call yourself, then, for the present, said Glossin, 'just until I shall bring some other folks to refresh your memory concerning who you are, or at least who you have been?

Up and down, and from side to side the toys in the bag felt themselves being jostled, until they were set down in the big sleigh. "All aboard!" called Santa Claus, as he took his seat and gathered up the reins. "Come, Dasher! On, Prancer! Hi, Donner and Blitzen! Down to Earth you go with the Christmas toys!"
Speak to me no more; I'm dangerous. 'But, Dirk but, Hatteraick, hear me only a few words. 'Hagel! nein. 'Only one sentence. 'Tousand curses! nein. 'At least get up, for an obstinate Dutch brute! said Glossin, losing his temper and pushing Hatteraick with his foot. 'Donner and blitzen! said Hatteraick, springing up and grappling with him; 'you WILL have it then?
"Ah! he was in the Royal Navy. But this is a merchantman; you don't think he will presume to break into the monopoly of the superior branch. He will only swear by the wind and weather. Thunder and squalls! Donner and blitzen! Handspikes and halyards! these are the innocent execrations of the merchant service he! he! ho!"
First there was a park filled with reindeer, and beyond that was the town, and at one side a large farm-yard filled with animals of all sorts. "But as Santa Claus seemed in a hurry I did not stop long to look.
