J.—Yes, he gave me a lamb.
M.—A lamb! How delightful! Where is it, then?
J.—I crammed it into my pocket, and it was stifled.
M.—I should think it was! Into your pocket! Good heavens! Whoever thought of putting a lamb into his pocket! You should have tied a rope round its neck and led it carefully along.
J.—That's just what Uncle Crabstick said.
M.—I should think he did! And then?
J.—Then I went to see Auntie Jumblewig.
M.—That was quite right. Did she give you anything?
J.—She gave me a splendid ham.
M.—A ham! I am glad. That will come in useful. Where is it?
