In an hour or so the packing houses would be closing and the men coming in from their work; and they would not come into a place that smelt of Jurgis. Also it was Saturday night, and in a couple of hours would come a violin and a cornet, and in the rear part of the saloon the families of the neighborhood would dance and feast upon wienerwurst and lager, until two or three o'clock in the morning.
So Wienerwurst too had the time of his life, and his little pink tongue hung out in delight as they raced toward the moon. They hadn't gone more than a hundred miles or so, when something strange floated past them a cloud all puffy and soft and white, like the floating islands in the puddings Mother makes. The reindeer nearly ran into it.
They tried to save what they could from the wreck. They spanked little Wienerwurst until he let go of the tails of the Pretty Pink Pigeons, and they got the Bunnies safe back in their hutch, and the White Wyandottes in their yard, and Mr. Turkey in his. But they couldn't save the poor little fish. It was very sad, but it was too late. Tabby wasn't like Jonah's whale.
Across the road a big jack-rabbit jumped jumped sping sping sping like a toy animal made of steel springs. Wienerwurst ran after the rabbit, but his master didn't stop to chase Jack. He was afraid if he wasted any time he would never catch up with the Toyman. At last the ribbon road reached the top of the hill and wound along it a little way before it started twisting down the other side.
Tody was the funniest and happiest of all, and he made all the children laugh and shout and clap their hands. Even Johnny Cricket, the lame boy, who had come a long way to see the circus, smiled. Marmaduke and Wienerwurst were so excited that they forgot all about Jehosophat and Hepzebiah and the Toyman.
Green gave him a new shiny collar. Brownie is a terrier and is coloured like his name. He is a frisky dog and often chases the horses and buggies that go up and down the road in front of the house. Sometimes the drivers lash at him with their long whips but he is too quick for them and scampers out of their reach. The funniest doggie in all the world is little yellow Wienerwurst.
And they let little Wienerwurst in, and saved him from the grey wolves and the wild tigers and the fierce lions of the Northwind. Little Wienerwurst barked happily and curled himself up by their feet, in front of the warm fire. After that Marmaduke spoke only once before he fell asleep. "You never had any little boys, did you, Toyman?"
Still another went off, and he was tossed clean over the Great Wall to the mouth of the hole down which he had come that very same day. Then the last pack went bang! and he was blown through the hole, Wienerwurst after him, up, up, up, past the Coal Giant and the Furnace Pit, and up, up, up, until he saw, just above him, the little circle of light again.
He ate much wienerwurst and drank beer freely, and on holidays devoured, at one sitting, a half-dozen loaves of bread, the centers of which had been previously dug out and filled with melted lard. He visited "The Miners' Rest" and reeled home to his shack at a late hour. All these are mere preliminary details to the statement that his nerves were growing irritable, and his temper uncertain.
Dot mule he has a soreness by his mouth. I vill knock off your shoulders mit your head robbermans!" "Yi-yi!" howled Rattlesnake, roaring with laughter and ducking his head, "somebody git this here sour-krout off'n me!" One of the band yanked Fritz back by the coat-tail, and the woods rang with Rattlesnake's vociferous comments. "The dog-goned little wienerwurst," he yelled, amiably.
