"You can take a red one, a white one, a green one, or all three. See?" "Oh, yes!" said Tom, beginning to smile again. "I see. You don't want me to choose watching the earth go round, or going to Saturn, or taking the long jump, but you do want me to choose all three." "Now you are talking sense," said Righty. "And sense is what we are after." "That's it," said the Poker.
Tom looked in the direction in which the Bellows had pointed, and, sure enough, there was a cloud coming slowly along, shaped very much like a trolley car, and on the front of it, as it drew nearer, the lad was soon able to discern the funny little figure of a Brownie acting as motorman. "Why, it's really a trolley!" he cried. "Certainly it is!" laughed Righty. "Didn't you know that?
"Good!" cried Righty, clapping his claws together gleefully, as an idea flashed across his mind. "It's one of those famous St. Bernards; he'll take care of Tom, and as for us " The thunderous roar of the descending avalanche drowned the sounds of Righty's voice, and all that could now serve as a means of conveying their thoughts to each other was the making of wild motions with the hands.
"You had a narrow escape that time," said Righty, as they excitedly watched the toboggan speeding on its way, and which, by the way, was filled with a lot of little youngsters no bigger than Tom himself, children of all colors, apparently, red, white and blue, green, yellow and black. "If I hadn't yanked you away you'd have been run over." "But where are we?"
"He had three boys of his own, you know, and he said there never was a boy who couldn't eat a pie even if it was made of crowbars and rubber, as long as it was pie." "I guess he was right," observed Righty. "I knew a boy once who ate soft coal just because somebody told him it was rock-candy." "Did he like it?" asked Tom.
"Don't touch any of the old guns up there," called Dorothy, "Jack says there are dangerous." "All righty!" yelled Tavia from above. "But say wouldn't this be a handsome place to drop from?" She was in the opening of the hay loft, lying on the floor with her head over the edge. "Oh don't" begged Cologne. "Tavia, that is dangerous!" Her voice was rather strained, Cologne was annoyed.
"You have," replied the Conductor, firmly. "Well, let's be sensible about it," said the Hippopotamus. "We're all honest at least I am and I've paid once, and I admit I'm riding cheap considering my weight. But who hasn't paid? Tom, did you pay?" "I paid for our whole party," put in Righty. "Good," said the Hippopotamus. "Did you pay, Monk?" "Yes, I did," said the Monkey.
"I don't think he did," replied Righty, "but he never let on that he didn't." "Well, anyhow," put in Lefty, "it's time we had something to eat and we'd better set out for the Lobster shop or the Candydike I don't care which." "Or the what?" asked Tom. "The Candydike?" said the Lefthandiron. "Didn't you ever hear of the Candydike?" "Never," responded Tom. "What is it?"
Take it from me, if there wasn't something in me that's just sorry for you, I wouldn't walk these here blocks with you. Sometimes when I look at you right hard, Blink, honest, it looks to me like the coke's got you, Blink." "Now, Marjie " "You wouldn't tell me if it had. But you got the twitches, all righty." "It's me nerves, Marj; me nerves and you."
"I do," repeated the Polar Bear, "and if anybody says I don't I'll chew him up," and then he opened his mouth and glared at Tom as if to warn the young man from pursuing the subject further. "So would I," put in Righty. "So would I if all the Polar Bears were like you."
