"O where is this river?" he cried, when he was able to find words to speak. "In the Candydike, of course. Where else?" said the Poker. "But of course we can go to the Lobster shop if you prefer." "Not I," said Tom. "I don't care for any Lobster shop with a Candydike in sight." "Don't be rash," said the Bellows, who apparently had a strong liking for the Lobster shop.
"Not at all. It's merely the habit of his kind. Many's the time when I've heard of men and women devouring their favorite authors. Tom couldn't better show his liking for the lobster than by eating him. On the other hand, if he goes there and turns his back on the Candydike he'll miss the most wonderful sight in all creation, and that is the Nesselrode Cataract on the Soda Water river.
"I don't think he did," replied Righty, "but he never let on that he didn't." "Well, anyhow," put in Lefty, "it's time we had something to eat and we'd better set out for the Lobster shop or the Candydike I don't care which." "Or the what?" asked Tom. "The Candydike?" said the Lefthandiron. "Didn't you ever hear of the Candydike?" "Never," responded Tom. "What is it?"
"Of course we all love the Candydike because it is so sweet, but for real pleasure the Lobster shop is not to be despised. I don't think you ought to make up your mind as to where you'll go next in too much of a hurry." "What's the fun in the Lobster shop?" asked Tom. "Purely intellectual, if you know what that means," said the Bellows. "You get your mind filled there instead of your stomach.
"And was it you who rescued me from the avalanche?" Tom asked. "Woof!" replied Jeff, as much as to say he wouldn't tell. "Well, it was mighty good of you, if you did, Jeffy," Tom said, gratefully. "Only I wish you could have taken me to the Candydike or the Lobster shop instead of straight home because I'm not only hungry Jeffy, but I should very much have liked to visit those wonderful places."
"Well, I'm sure I don't know what to do," said Tom, very much perplexed. The Candydike was glorious, but the Lobster shop, too, had its attractions, for Tom was fond of witty jokes and good anecdotes. The idea of having them from the lips of lobsters and oysters was very appealing.
