"No, no!" cried Sweetclover. "You'll be caught too, and then what will I do?" So he stayed with her. Presently they were aroused by the barking of a dog and, looking about, discovered that they were sitting on the terrace of a big house all about which were fields of flowers and grain. And the dog, a big mastiff, came toward them. Sweetclover put out a friendly hand and said, "Nice Fido."
"We'll have to go back to the mines and start all over again," said John with a sigh. And they picked up Kernel Cob and Sweetclover, and walked on. And after a little while, John and Margaret sat down on a log and were silent for a long time.
She is the South American condor and I'm sure she will be able to carry you somewhere." "All of us?" asked Kernel Cob. "Why, yes, indeed," replied Napoleon, "she is about ten times as big as you and very strong." "Oh, goodie," said Sweetclover, "where is she?" "Over there," answered Napoleon. "Just say I sent you and she will do anything for you."
And it was perfectly safe and very comfortable. And they must have fallen asleep; for the next thing they knew they felt a rocking and a rocking and Kernel Cob got out of the crate and crawled along till he came to a stairway, and, climbing this, discovered that they were on a ship. He hurried back to tell his news to Sweetclover and the Villain. And Sweetclover began to cry.
But a great misfortune happened, for when Dorothy's parents arrived in China they were in a great hurry to leave the dock, where the boat landed, and Dorothy, who had fallen asleep, forgot her dolls, and left them on a bench in the waiting room, and before Kernel Cob or Jackie Tar or the Villain or Sweetclover could catch up to her, she had been lifted into her mother's arms and had disappeared in the crowd.
And he stood on his tippy toes to look bigger. "And I'd like Sweetclover to be a mother," says Peggs, "and have hundreds and hundreds of children so she could give them all the dolls that ever they wanted." "That would be noble," said Jackie. "It's terrible for children to have no father or mother isn't it?" asked Peggs looking far off at nothing in the sky. "Yes," said Jackie.
And when they were seated, Sweetclover saw some flowers on the banquet table which were very beautiful, white with silver calyx, and they were called Silverfloss, and Sweetclover whispered to Silverfloss: "Do you understand Earth talk?" "Ting-a-ling," answered Silverfloss, and it sounded like the tinkling of a little silver bell. "What did she say?" asked Kernel Cob.
I always thought he hopped about The fields, because he had the gout And lost his crutches in the crops, And that's the reason why he hops. But now I'll have to change my mind Because I see he's very kind, For he who is a friend in need Is quite the best of friends indeed. And Kernel Cob and Sweetclover sailed and sailed for many days and nights.
And the King and the Queen were sitting on thrones, and when the King saw how Kernel Cob had formed his people in order, he was greatly pleased and said to himself, "Here is a fine General. I will put him at the head of all my armies." And Kernel Cobb and Sweetclover were invited to a great banquet, as splendid as ever you could imagine.
When he saw what was done and who had done it, he turned on Kernel Cob, and it was with great difficulty that Kernel Cob got out of his way. Out into the street ran Kernel Cob, followed by Sweetclover, the Villain and Jackie Tar, the Magician in hot pursuit, and only that he was a very old man he would have caught them. But he didn't, thank goodness! and at last they arrived at the raft.
