“We’ve been busy,” says Catty. “Where’s Mr. Browning.”
“Here I am, young man,” says Mr. Browning’s voice. “Now, suppose you give an account of yourselves.”

“I cook meals at mealtimes,” says Rameses III, as cross as a snapping turtle.
“I guess we’d better feed them,” says Mr. Browning. “Now come below and tell me what you’ve been doing with yourselves. I never saw such a pair of kids.”
“We’ve been in a mutiny,” says Catty.
“Mutiny!”
“Yes, and we rescued Mr. Dunn and Mr. House....”
“Hold on there. Start at the beginning.”
