A moment more they looked at the little cart, its bright red body with the blue lines around it, the wheels and spokes, which were bright yellow, and the shafts and the whiffletrees, which were yellow too. Then they got in. Little Hepzebiah sat on the seat with Jehosophat. He proudly held the reins. Marmaduke sat behind, his legs hanging over the tail-board, with Wienerwurst wriggling on his lap.
Now Hal an' Teddy could get on, but White Boots an' Ole Methusaleh'd have to stay off, an' Rover an' Brownie could go, but Wienerwurst couldn't see?" Marmaduke looked frightened at this at the very thought of Wienerwurst, his little doggie, trying to swim around in a terrible flood. "I'd hide him under my coat," he declared.
Wienerwurst had no iron to slide on, but he did pretty well on his haunches, and how swiftly the brown sides of the earth slipped by them! How fast the air whistled past! After a fine ride they saw ahead of them a great red light. It looked like the sky that time when Apgar's barn was on fire. They stopped with a bump and a bang.
After Marmaduke and Wienerwurst, Ping Pong, Sing Song, and Ah See, had scooted down the long hole for a few thousand miles or so, they began to see light below them, a little circle of blue, just at the other end, on the other side of the world.
When their long journey was over, they got up from their flatirons and stretched themselves, and Wienerwurst got up from his haunches and stretched himself. Then one by one they stuck their heads out of the bottom of the hole to take a look at China. A very pretty country it was, yet quite strange.
It was coloured just like peanut-butter and was soft and healing. On each cut he put a little of the salve, then wound the little doggie all up in nice soft bandages too. And Wienerwurst licked the Toyman's hand to show how thankful he was. They made him a little bed, but he didn't stay in that long. The Toyman was such a good doctor that Wienerwurst felt better already.
He danced first with a tall lady covered with straw who announced jovially that she was a bale of hay and coyly begged him not to eat her. "I'd like to; you're so sweet," said the camel gallantly. Each time the ringmaster shouted his call of "Men up!" he lumbered ferociously for Betty with the cardboard wienerwurst or the photograph of the bearded lady or whatever the favor chanced to be.
Another touch of the icicle whip, a jingle of bells, a snort from the reindeer, and they were off off through the air towards the sailing moon. Marmaduke was so interested in looking up that he didn't see little Wienerwurst run ahead of all the animals. That doggie beat them all to the top of the hill.
The three happy children and Little Geeup didn't like the looks of things very much. "Here, Wienerwurst come here," called Marmaduke. He wanted his little dog to jump back in the wagon and be safe. But Wienerwurst was no coward.
"Robber Hawk!" screamed all of her cousins, first, second, and third. Loud and long barked Rover and Brownie. And little Wienerwurst stopped chasing the pretty pink pigeons. And even Mr. Stuckup, the turkey, had to join in the hubbub. "Horrible robber, horrible robber," he gobbled. But Mother Wyandotte had called to her children.
