The fancy seemed to be mutual, for, after a tearful farewell to the Guardian, the Mouse went off with the backwoodsman quite contentedly. Then Konky was disposed of. A hearty old lady with a pretty daughter and a slim son went away with him in triumph, and the band was reduced to two. "I do believe," whispered Bob to Tim, "that he's goin' to let us stick together after all."
Our gradually diminishing band must push on. "It's the sea!" exclaimed the boy who had been named little Mouse, alias Robbie Dell. "No, it ain't," said Konky, who was a good deal older; "it's a lake." "Ontario," said the Guardian, "one of the noble fresh-water seas of Canada." Onward, ever onward, is the watchword just now dropping boys like seed-corn as they go!
Thus they dwindled and travelled westward until only our friend Bobby, Tim, Konky, and little Mouse remained with the Guardian, whose affections seemed to intensify as fewer numbers were left on which they might concentrate. Soon the little Mouse was caught. A huge backwoods farmer, who could have almost put him in his coat-pocket, took a fancy to him.
"You're right, Konky." Strange interlacing of error with error traversed by truth in this sublunary sphere! Piggie was wrong in admitting that. Konky was right, for, as every one knows, or ought to know, it was not a whale at all that swallowed Jonah, but a "great fish" which was "prepared" for the purpose.
