"Can you crawl through a keyhole?" asked Gehsundheit.
"Of course not—if I could I shouldn't need your help," said Billy, disdainfully.
"No; dat iss too bad, I can. Can you disappear?"
"Certainly not."
"Too bad—too bad. Let me think. Ah! I haf it, turn yourself into a fly," said Gehsundheit eagerly.
"But I can't. Can you?"
"No, but it would be so useful if you could. I am afraid times haf changed. Ven I vas a boy peeples could do so much magic. To-day it iss not so. I—I only am de greatest magician in vorld."
"But I thought you were here to help me," said Billy.
