"T-t-try the b-b-big wagon doors, fellows!" whooped Bluff. They did, but with no more success than had attended their puny efforts against the smaller exit. Those who had been at work while they talked must have done a good job, for the big doors were utterly immovable. "Do we have to stay in here until morning?" wailed Andy Flinn, in mock despair.

They aren't any different today f-f-from what they were yesterday are they?
