"Don't let him get me!" the little boy cried.
The Toyman reached down and in a second Marmaduke was safe in his arms.
"There's nobody here but me," said the Toyman.
Loud the Giant Northwind howled and roared, while the flames leaped up the chimney.
"Look there!" cried Marmaduke. "There he is!!"
And again he pointed to the shadow on the wall.
"The Giant Northwind has got in our house!"
But the Toyman only laughed, hugging him tighter.
"That's not old Northwind, that's only my shadow," he explained.
Then Marmaduke laughed too.
