The red and blue one was tied on Jehosophat's line, the red and yellow one on Marmaduke's, and the blue and yellow on little Hepzebiah's. "What are those pretty things?" asked Marmaduke. "Floaters," the Toyman answered. "Watch and you will see what we do with them."
And to the bartender he added: "Leave him be, pardner, unless you're all set for considerable noise in here." "Long as his drinks are paid for," muttered the bartender, "here he stays. But these floaters do make me tired!"
You have to get into that. By the way, your balls are floaters, I hope?" "Only six of 'em," I said. "However, I dare say you won't mind if I grub up a few potatoes to carry on with afterwards. So we hole out in the water-butt? That's the tiddleywinks part of it, I suppose? Go on." "There are various penalties," he explained.
