"I don't know anything about motheranfathers," replied the bird, "but I know when I lose anything it is because it falls out of my nest." "People don't live in nests," replied Kernel Cob. "For if they did, and fell out, they would get broken." "I say!" said the Villain who had been thinking very deeply. "Let's look for them near where they were lost." "That's a good way," said Sweetclover.
And the moon came out and he watched it and thought of the many adventures he had been in since Sweetclover and he were up there and a great longing came into his heart to see her and if he had not been a soldier, I am sure he would have cried, but he didn't. Instead, he got upon his feet and looked about for some place where he could spend the night.
And the Villain, being a very kind-hearted puppet sat down to comfort her, but, try as he would, Sweetclover only cried the louder. "I'm sure he's captured, I'm sure he's captured," she repeated over and over again, until she made the Villain believe it and he began to cry, too. "Here, this will never do," said the Villain, getting up. "I'll go back and see if I can find him."
"At least that's what I'm painted to be, but I have a kind heart just the same." "What are you doing out here in this boat?" asked Kernel Cob. "The man who is rowing and who picked you up is a puppet showman," he explained. "I don't like him a bit," said Sweetclover. "You'll like him less and less as you get to know him," said the Villain. "He's very brutal.
"I don't see how we are to get out of here," said Sweetclover, "for this Eagle weighs about a thousand pounds. I can't move, can you?" And when Kernel Cob attempted to pull himself from under the Eagle he found he couldn't do it without pulling off his legs, and he was too sensible to think he could get far without them.
This puzzled the Showman just what Kernel Cob wanted, and while he stood, wondering which one of them to follow, they gained on him. Feeling angrier with Kernel Cob than with the Villain and Sweetclover, he made after him, but Kernel Cob had a good start this time and had turned another corner, and seeing an open doorway, leaped in and was well-hidden by the time the Showman came puffing by.
"We're looking for Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather," answered Kernel Cob, "and we believe they are up here near the North Pole. Are we far away from it?" "About a hundred miles or so," said Wak Wak, for that was the cub's name. "Goodness," said Sweetclover, "how are we ever going to walk so far in this dreadful cold."
"Don't call me Fido," said the dog, "my name is Napoleon." "Oh, excuse me," said Sweetclover, "I didn't know." "That's all right," said Napoleon with a stately bow. "Is there anything I can do for you?" "I'm afraid not," said Sweetclover. "My friend here," and she turned to the Villain, "and I have been separated from Kernel Cob and we are anxious to find him. You didn't see him pass by, did you?"
But at that moment the Fairies must have heard Sweetclover's prayer, for I am sure she must have uttered one when her beloved Kernel Cob was so near to being cut apart. The door opened, and in walked a man, a woman, and a little girl. And they were Americans, too, for the first thing Sweetclover heard was the little girl saying: "Mother dear, I do so want a dollie."
Just then the wind blew Sweetclover toward Kernel Cob, and, if you'd been there, you could have heard a whispering sound, and, if you'd been a flower, you would have heard Sweetclover say to Kernel Cob: "Poor little Peggs!" and if you had looked very closely you would have seen dew drops in her eyes.
