He could not have said more than that, for of course he has been living ever since. So they rode out of the valley and up the hill-side, and they waved their hands to the Wonderful Toymaker who stood looking disconsolately after them, and they wished they could have played with him just a little longer.
They played with toys that would not break, however badly they were treated; they chased one another over the rocks and through the bushes, without getting out of breath at all; and when they could not think of anything else to do, they laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. Then they sat down on the grass to rest; and the Wonderful Toymaker sat between them and smiled at them both.
"I came to ask you the way to the Wonderful Toymaker, who makes all the toys for Fairyland. I am going to fetch a new toy for the Princess Petulant." "And how do you think you are going to get it?" asked Bobolink, with a chuckle. "That is exactly what I want you to tell me," said Martin, boldly.
Leaving the home of the Swiss toymaker, who had shared his simple fare with them, they started southward through the deep wilderness. Tom's idea was to keep well within the forest, but within access to its western edge, so that they might scan the country across the river at intervals.
The little Swiss toymaker stood watching them and laughing with a spasmodic laugh which he might have caught from his own wooden cuckoo. When they reached the other shore Tom fell at once to examining a very perceptible rift in the earth a few feet from the shore. "Do you see?" he said, "we floated over on this piece of land.

"It is devotion that makes me honest. I owe everything to you." "I think you do," observed Pine quietly. "When I found you in Whitechapel you were only a pauper toymaker." "An inventor of toys, remember.
Martin wanted to go by sky, but when the Princess said she would much prefer to go by land as she had come most of the way by sky, the Prime Minister's son gave in at once and said that he had meant to choose the land road all the time. So the Toymaker fetched two beautiful rocking-horses and helped the children to mount them, and said he should never forget their visit for the rest of his life.
"I never heard anything so beautiful before." "The top is yours, since you like it," said the Wonderful Toymaker, handing it to her with a bow. "Now listen to my other new top."
"Just fancy," laughed the little Princess to the Poet; "they have been trying to persuade me in there that all those Princes and people are beautiful!" The Wonderful Toymaker Princess Petulant sat on the nursery floor and cried. She was only eight years old, but she had lived quite long enough to grow extremely discontented; and the royal household was made very uncomfortable in consequence.
