When it was in so far that it seemed as if no Thirty White Horses could ever pull it out, they began the game the famous game of Mumbledy Peg. First, Marmaduke put the knife in the palm of his right hand and made that knife turn a somersault in the air. And it landed right on the blade point and stuck upright in the ground.
Marmaduke tried to open one of the blades, but he couldn't, they were too strong for his fingers. So the Toyman took it. "Which shall it be?" he asked. "The very biggest," came the answer, "and oh, Toyman, let's play 'Mumbledy Peg!" "A galoochious idea!" exclaimed the Toyman, "how did you ever think of it?"
So for a long time they played Mumbledy Peg on the hill, while the shadows grew longer and longer on the grass at their feet. Then they stopped to rest and sat quiet "for a spell." Opposite them, in the West, were other hills, higher ones too, rising way up in the sky. And far above them curled great white clouds, standing still as still could be.
The next trick in the game of Mumbledy Peg was to twirl the knife from the tip of the first finger, then from the second, and so on. When Marmaduke tried it from the third finger, the knife fell on its point, quivered feebly as if it were sick, then fell over on its side, only part way up in the air. "Can you get two fingers under it between the blade and the ground?" said the Toyman eagerly.
