And there were present the Garulies, and the Joblilies, and the Pickaninnies, and the Great Panjandrum himself, with his little, round button-at-the-top; and they all fell to playing the game of 'Catch-as-catch-can, till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots." Now you see where the Garulies and the Joblilies and the Pickaninnies came from.
All the time I was afraid the Panjandrum Himself would quit turning or that his little round button-at-the-top would blow off before I could get out. And just as I thrust the last boy up the spout the wheels began to slacken. "Quick," cried the Garuly, "the Great Pan has let go of the machine. Your last chance for to-day is to get through on the headway."
His hair looked like sea grass, and was partly covered by a queer concern, nothing less than the celebrated "little round button-at-the-top." "And so you want to see whether there is really a bag of gold at the end of the rainbow, do you? Well, I'll show you, though I haven't much time, for he died last week, and she very imprudently intends to marry the barber."
All the time we were looking the Great Panjandrum Himself, with his little round button-at-the-top on his head, was turning a crank in the side of the wonderful Pantoscopticon, which had a hopper on the top of it like that of an old-fashioned coffee-mill.
The Panjandrum did not start the wheels at once because he was looking around for his little round button-at-the-top without which he cannot do anything.
Together they took them into the house, and a Joblily came out in a moment to tell us that the Great Panjandrum was having his little round button-at-the-top brushed up, and that if we chose we could wait for him in the museum. The museum was a queer place. It was just inside the seventy-seventh gable of the house. There was an old Garuly who acted as showman.
