"Yes, it was," said Don "Don't Bee Weedy." "But there haven't been any Don't Bee's in the stories before," said Joyce. "Besides, I wouldn't call that Don't Bee Weedy; I'd call it Bee Clean."

We passed through another weedy, dilapidated town, called Condego, where they have a singular custom at their annual festival held on the 15th of May.
