"I don't see anything funny about that."
"Neither do I, but it is silly, isn't it?" said the man, and he and his sister giggled harder than ever.
"Well, of all the Sillies I ever saw," said Billy in disgust.
"Silly is as silly does, in Silly Land," said the Fragment; and again he and Her Terics laughed until Billy thought their stone sides would crack.
"Look out," said he, "you'll burst."
"We've already bursted," said His Terics.
"Where?"
"We've bursted into laughter of course. He-he-my-my, but isn't that a good joke?"
"You enjoy your own jokes, don't you?" said Billy, trying to be sarcastic.
