Hortense spoke the thought of both.
"If we were only small enough to go down it and see where it leads," said she.
But alas, it was far too small for that.
"Probably Jeremiah goes through it," said Hortense. "Where do you suppose it goes?"
"Perhaps to the middle of the earth, or to a cave filled with diamonds and gold," said Andy.
"Or maybe to the home of the fairies."
"Well, we can't know, so there's no use thinking of it."
"Still, if we watched it sometimes, we might see who goes down it," Hortense suggested hopefully, "and if it were a fairy, we might talk with him."
"We might do that," Andy agreed.
"But probably they'd know we were watching and keep hid."
