He picked up the sugar-basin and looked at it; he picked up the salt-cellar and looked at that, his face growing more and more bewildered. At last he abruptly excused himself, and hurrying away, returned in a few seconds with the proprietor. The proprietor also examined the sugar-basin and then the salt-cellar; the proprietor also looked bewildered.

When he had done dressing himself, the bag gave another little hop, and he went to it and took out A tablecloth and a napkin. A sugar-basin full of the best loaf-sugar.
