I mean, will you give the answer up?" said Dick, losing patience. "But we haven't it," said the Archæopteryx. "Look here, I'll tell you what we'll do," said the Palæotherium, generously: "I'll give up the robin, and my friend here will give up the waterbut. There!" "Now that's settled," said the Dodo, conclusively, "I'll ask you a conundrum. 'If your wife's aunt is "
"Do you know any riddles?" asked the Eterædarium, suddenly, addressing Dick. "Let's see," said he, glad that the conversation had taken a turn which they could all understand. "I think I do know a few. Why is a robin like a waterbut?" "First of all," said the Archæopteryx, anxiously, "what is a robin, and who is a waterbut?"
"Who said she was?" snapped the Dodo, crossly; "she is as likely to be anybody's son as a robin is to be like a waterbut, and besides, I didn't say she was; I said, if she was, you know." "Well, let's work it out," said the Eterædarium, spreading out his fingers.
"I don't see what all this has to do with my conundrum," said Dick. "Well, let's try again," said the Archæopteryx. "Why is a robin like a waterbut?" "A robin is a bird that comes in the winter," repeated the Eterædarium, "and the waterbut is that also a bird?" "Oh, no," laughed Marjorie; "a waterbut is a tub for holding water." "Can it fly?" asked the Eterædarium.
"Oh, very well! let it be so," cried the Archæopteryx, impatiently. "What's the answer, anyhow?" "I don't know," said the Eterædarium, staring at his fingers stupidly. "I don't see what relation those two fingers are to the other two. Well, what relation is Dick to Tom?" he asked, turning to the Dodo. "The same relation that the robin is to the waterbut," said that bird, conclusively.
