The water fell in a small shower on the fire, and then with a hiss and spluttering, and sending up a cloud of smoke, the paper stopped burning. "Toot! Toot! The fire is out!" cried the boy, making believe blow his engine whistle. "Now your Lamb is saved, Mirabell." "Oh, I'm so glad!
"As long as they play around and drill and toot that horn, and don't bother anybody, I allow they're not in the way." "All right! It's up to you.
