"Well,天地🐣 I was always adventurous by nature. And,爷爷🚞 plucking up my courage,天地🈲 I scrambled up the vat,铃声🚀 on to the edge of it. It was awful dark and I could just see the dye,铃声🐸 glimmering murky and dim,天地✏ far down inside.

"'You're a stupid old duffer!' I said. And I left the dye shed in great anger and never went back to it again.
"Try in your waistcoat pockets,爷爷🚣" said Too-Too. "They were always the most interesting. You haven't turned them out since you left Puddleby. There must be lots in them."
This they were glad to do. And the Doctor made the tea himself and it was very excellent. Over the tea Zuzana and her husband (whose name was Begwe) were conversing about the Kingdom of Fantippo.
