The audience lost their heads and even 206 joined in the prolonged roar: "On-ko, 208 on-ko-o-o-oor! On-ko, Flibbertigibbet some more some more!"
But the giant is a courteous monster, and more grateful than many other folk whom I have helped at a pinch, Master Wayland Smith." "Beshrew me, Flibbertigibbet," replied Wayland, "but thou art sharper than a Sheffield whittle! I would I knew by what charm you muzzled yonder old bear."
