"Say, let's go up to the Plains of Isaac and see where John Paul Jones fell when he captured Quebec from the English," said Pud.
At this, Bill and Bob just curled up and laughed until they nearly fell off their chairs.
"What's the matter?" asked Pud. "Isn't that the real place to see in Quebec?"
"You need some history lessons as well as geography," said Bill.
"Well, let's have it," said Pud. "I know I'm always getting things fatally twisted."
"You mean the Plains of Abraham," said Bob.
"Oh, Abraham, Jacob or Isaac, it's all the same, isn't it?" said Pud, apparently rather disgusted that they had blamed him for such a natural mistake.
"And, who ever heard of John Paul Jones taking Quebec?" asked Bill, looking at Bob.
"Well, who was it?" said Pud. "Those historical names always get me."
