"His name isn't Sleepyhead," said the Righthandiron, with a grin. "It's Thomas D. Pate." "What's the D for?" asked the other. "Dozy Thomas Dozy Pate," exclaimed the Righthandiron. "His ancestors were Sleepyheads on his mother's side, and Dozy Pates on his father's side." "'Tisn't so at all!" cried Tom, indignantly. "My mama wasn't a Sleepyhead, and my name isn't Dozy Pate."
Duncan, as they bustled into the kitchen, the boys and Peter all scrambling to their feet to meet them. "Merry Christmas! And off to bed with the whole lot of you, or we'll have a nice pack of sleepyheads in the morning! Peter, you're surely not going home to-night!" as the old Indian began to get into his overcoat and scarlet sash. "Yes," he said, "I'll go."
"Sleepyheads!" and, reaching down, he gripped each boy by his coat collar, the night had been chilly and both had slept in their coats, jerked him to his feet and shook him violently, "Wake up!" and, suddenly letting go, he sent both boys staggering from him.
The spokesman of the previous night, who had been chided for not springing on Roland before he succeeded in doing away with the treasure, here uttered a shout. "This water," he said, "is clear as air. You can see every pebble at the bottom. Get to work, you sleepyheads, and search down the stream. We'll recover that bag yet, and then it's back to Sonnenberg for breakfast.
"He's such a Sleepyhead he doesn't know his own name," said the Lefthandiron. "That's a curious thing about the Sleepyheads and the Dozy Pates. They very seldom know their own names and even when they do they always deny that they are what they are. Why I really believe if I told Tom here that he was a Dormouse he'd deny it and say he was a boy."
On the other side of the furnace, the hole opened up again, and down it they scooted on their way to China. It was fortunate that the Giant had given Marmaduke something to eat, for it was a long trip. There were many wonderful things there, but as you're all yawning, and we couldn't make sleepyheads understand, for that you'll have to wait till another night.
"Very early this morning, when you little sleepyheads were in bed, I got up and came down here, and had my bath over there, look in that nice brown pool under the tree." "Oh, father!" cried both children, dancing round him. "Let us have our baths in the river too. Do ask Nana do, father! We can have our bathing things on that we had at the sea, and you can come too and teach us to swim."
