The woman nodded, and Lon fell to unharnessing the dogs, while I unlashed the sled and carried the camp outfit into the cabin. The cabin was a large, one-room affair, and the woman was evidently alone in it. She pointed to the stove, where water was already boiling, and Lon set about the preparation of supper, while I opened the fish-bag and fed the dogs.
'Which IS the East? said Jane, dancing about in her agony of terror. Nobody knew. So they opened the fish-bag to ask the Psammead. And the bag had only a waterproof sheet in it. The Psammead was gone. 'Hide the sacred thing! Hide it! Hide it! whispered the girl. Cyril shrugged his shoulders, and tried to look as brave as he knew he ought to feel. 'Hide it up, Pussy, he said.
Smith glanced affectionately at a fish-bag of bulky appearance which stood on the floor between his feet. "All ready," he said, cheerfully, an' if you'd like a v'y'ge yourself I can manage it for you in two twos. You've on'y got to say the word." "I don't want one," said the steward, fiercely; "don't you try none o' your larks on me, Nathan Smith, cos I won't have it."
"Now, why'll he be thankin' me," she muttered "me that 'u'd die an' stay in hell forever for him? Now I must go mend up the fish-bag your Honor's brother's wife was for sendin' him an' which no decent fish would be dyin' in." "Aren't you going to take Jim Varian?" asked Rawling. "I wouldn't be marryin' with Roosyvelt himself, that's President, an' has his house built all of gold!
'Here's a river, now I wonder whether it's the Amazon or the Tiber, or what. 'It's the Nile, said the Psammead, looking out of the fish-bag. 'Then this is Egypt, said Robert, who had once taken a geography prize. 'I don't see any crocodiles, Cyril objected. His prize had been for natural history.
Jupille trotted before us, carrying his rod in one hand, a luncheon- basket and a fish-bag in the other. He turned round and gave us a look at each cross-road, smiled beneath his heavy moustache, and went on faster than before. I felt sure that something out of the way was about to happen, and that the silent quill-driver was tasting a quiet joke. I had not guessed the whole truth.
So the four children hurried home, taking very long steps, with their chins stuck out, and their mouths shut very tight indeed. They went so fast that the Psammead was quite shaken about in its fish-bag, but it did not say anything perhaps for fear of attracting public notice. They got home at last, very hot indeed, and set the Psammead on the green tablecloth. 'Now then! said Cyril.
He consented, after various flappings, to sit in a big fish-bag with his battered head peeping out with wild uneasiness.
