But Tiny only answered,
"No, thank-you," and went on.
So the Junior Subaltern said rather sulkily,
"Well, it's a good long go anyway."
Then when Tiny really could not think of any more, he made the Junior Subaltern learn by heart the Sorry Song he and Baby had written in Moonland; and after that he made him stand on the Fort-wall and sing it; which he did—not very nicely.
And when that was finished, Tiny said,
"That'll do for the present, thank-you."
So the Junior Subaltern scrambled off the wall, saying to himself out loud,
"Jolly good job too," and ran off to find the Boy.
