"You wanted to find out about Princess Honey Girl, I believe."
"Yes, sir."
"Don't worry about her, she is perfectly safe—I have my eye on her as well as on you. How are you getting along?"
"Very well, thank you—but I suppose I'm still a long way off from Bogie Man's house?"
"You are nearer than you were when you were not so near as you are now, so keep afloat and you will get there all right."
"Thank you," said Billy; "I'll try."
"Well, good-bye—I thought I would ease your mind a bit—the suit can't carry you and a heavy heart very fast nor far, you know."
"Thank you," said Billy, "good-bye."
"Now I feel lighter hearted," he said, and sure enough instead of falling (which he had just begun to do) he rose several feet in the air.
