Yes, here they are: Snoopie, and Billy Lunt, and Fat Day (his body covered with hives), and Skinny, and Chub, and Nixie Kemp (who can exhibit the biggest vaccination mark of all of you), and Tom Kemp (who is always peeling, somewhere), and—oh, a glorious company, wallowing like albino porpoises, threshing like whales!
“A-a-a-ah, lookee, lookee!” greets Snoopie (indefatigable, omnipresent) shrilly, grinning up at you; and for your benefit he stands on his head and waves his brown legs above the surface.
“Hello, Fat!”
“Hello, Skinny!”
“Hello, Jocko!”
“Hello, Hen!”
“Hello, Nix!”
“Come on in! Come on in!”
“Gee! It’s dandy!”
“Water’s jus’ fine! Warm as milk.”
