But they hadn't been there a day when Speed was caught by a number of men, and again Kernel Cob and Sweetclover were left alone to work things out the best way they could. Sweetclover was very much discouraged, for said she: "Now that we are here and have lost all our friends, and with no one to help us, I don't see how we are ever to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather."
"Very, very interesting, I am sure," he said, "and I wish I could help you in finding Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather, but I think you must be tired, so if you will lie down here I will sleep outside and protect you from any danger."
"Well, if they are men," said Kernel Cob, "they ought to have their hair cut, and look like men. And if Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather look like these Chinamen, I don't want to find them at all, for I think a child is better off without parents than having two mothers." "I wish we had never come here at all," said Sweetclover.
"I wish I had wings," sighed Sweetclover, "and could fly all over the world. It would be so wonderful." "We will rest to-night," said the bird, "and try to find the motheranfather of Jackie and Peggs to-morrow." "You will be too tired," said Sweetclover. "Oh, no," said the Condor. "You can have no fear. I will be all right. When I say I do something I do that. I never...."
"Hello, Mister Cricket," shouted Kernel Cob peering over the side of the chair. And the Cricket hopped over to where Kernel Cob was lying. "Who are you?" he chirped. "I'm Kernel Cob. And Sweetclover and I are looking for Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," said Kernel Cob, "Have you seen them?" "Never heard of them," chirped the Cricket. "What's their names?"
"Maybe it's here we are to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," said the Villain, "and not at the North Pole at all." "Oh, I hope so," said Sweetclover. It was getting very cold now, for you know that the higher you go up in the air, the colder it gets. That's why there's snow on the mountain tops.
And Peggs ran to Margaret and was hugged and hugged in her loving arms. And all the time Kernel Cob was trying to understand what was going on, for he knew Jackie and Peggs the moment he saw them, but couldn't get into his head that Margaret and John were their motheranfather.
"What's all this about?" said a strange voice, and looking about quickly, they saw a sea-horse riding up to them. "I am very glad to see you," said Kernel Cob. "You're just in time to give us a lift on our journey." "With pleasure," whinnied the sea-horse. "And where might you be going?" "To find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," said Sweetclover.
And Jackie Tar stepped forward and said: "Please, kind magician, we have come to find the motheranfather of Jackie and Peggs. Will you be good enough to help us?" And even as he was speaking a great cloud spread through the room and floated toward the ceiling. In a minute the cloud became thinner, so you could see through it, and at once trees and a house were seen.
"We are trying to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," he explained, and after he had told her their story, she was so interested that she said she would help them as soon as she had finished her breakfast. "Now," she said, "let us start. Where are the motheranfather of these little children?" "I don't know," said Kernel Cob. "They're lost."
