"Can you speak Moonflower talk?" asked Sweetclover. "Yes," said Edelweiss. "Very well," said Kernel Cob, "we are trying to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather and we came all the way from the Earth on a parasol to do so. Maybe you can help us." "I would if I could," replied Edelweiss. "But I am afraid they are not here.
"Did you hear that?" says Sweetclover. "What?" asked Kernel Cob. "That they would like to find their motheranfather," says Sweetclover. "Are they lost?" asks Kernel Cob. "Yes," says Sweetclover. "Who lost them?" asks Kernel Cob. "Hush!" says Sweetclover.
"Oh, Kernel Cob!" she cried, "what is it. Are you hurt?" "Oh," he sobbed, "if it weren't for me, maybe we would have found out all about Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather, and maybe the Magician would have showed us how to get there," and he cried as if his heart would break. And they sat upon the raft and talked it all over, what was to be done, and how they were to do it.
"Well," said Jackie Tar, when they were safely seated, "one thing we know, anyway, and that is that Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather are living somewhere in the snow, and if it hadn't been for Kernel Cob...." But he didn't finish what he was going to say, for, looking at Kernel Cob, he discovered him doing something that he had never done before CRYING! Sweetclover ran to him.
And they got off their sled and walked about. "Why did you want to come here?" asked Speed. "You see," explained Kernel Cob, "we are looking for Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather, and once when we were in India a Hoodoo ..." "A Hindoo you mean," corrected Jackie Tar. "A Hindoo," said Kernel Cob, "showed us on a crystal ball a picture of them in the snow, digging for gold.
"Just Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather; that's all." And just then Sweetclover woke up and sat on the side of the chair. "I'm sure that there isn't anybody by that name," chirped the Cricket, "but I'll soon find out." "How?" asked Kernel Cob.
Presently, the man stooped down and picked up what seemed to be a stone, and he showed it eagerly to the woman and she trembled with excitement and the stone glowed. "It must be gold," said Jackie Tar. "They're gold miners." "But who are they?" "I've got it!" cried Kernel Cob. "They're Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," and he danced with joy.
For a long time nobody spoke and pretty soon a little breeze swayed Kernel Cob over toward Sweetclover and he said: "Let's try to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather. Let us pray to the fairies that something will come along to help us." "Good!" said Sweet clover, and they prayed and prayed and prayed.
"I know I will see," said Kernel Cob. "Only I am going to escape from here the first thing I can." "Don't you dare," said Sweetclover. "Why not," said Kernel Cob, "don't you want to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather?" "Not any more," said Sweetclover with a smile. "Girl dolls, especially flowers, are the silliest things in the world," said Kernel Cob.
And they sailed toward Venice, which, as you know, is a city in Italy, and is built on a number of little islands and the streets are nearly all of water. "I think it is silly to go on," said Sweetclover, "for we know that Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather are not here, but somewhere in the mines." "That's so," said Kernel Cob, "Let's turn 'round and sail for the South Pole again."
