“Shall I give you a push?” asked the Doctor, kindly, though with a curious gleam in his eye.

“Yes, please,” said the Dodo, gratefully.

“All right,” said the Doctor. “Hold tight!” And he gave a mighty shove, sending the swing high above all the others.

“It’s very—very nice,” gasped the Dodo, “but don’t push any higher, please.”

“Hold tight,” said the Doctor, relentlessly, giving another shove, harder than before.

“Oh! please—please d—don’t, or we shall be upset,” implored the Dodo, nervously, as the swing shot up into the air.

“I’ll teach you to twizzle me on the roundabout,” cried the Doctor, vindictively. “Will you ever do it again?”

"Fidge was delighted."
