They were sated at last, and turned from the door;

He, wondering whither she now would go—

And well he might—in an instant more

He was over shoes in the frozen snow;

While she coolly remarked, with a Camille cough,

That the North Pole was only a half a mile off.


How it was they got to their present location,

I’m sure I don’t know, and it’s not my vocation

To give the details of their quick locomotion.
