"Bunions," said Cap'n Bill. "Oh, yes; mebbe you've got bunions." "It is possible," moaned the Ork. "But whatever they are, another day of such walking on them would drive me crazy."
"My winsome little feet," Kent Edwards put in plaintively, "are knobby as a burglar-proof safe, with corns and bunions, all of them more tender than a maiden's heart, and painful as a mistake in a poker hand. They're the ripe fruit of the thousands of miles of side hills I've had to tramp over because of Mr. Bragg's retiring disposition.
