"I am, but if you will not follow my directions how can I?" said Gehsundheit, crossly.
"Then can you do nothing for me?"
"Sure can I—would you lend me your cap?"
"Yes," said Billy, handing him his cap and wondering what he was going to do with it.
Gehsundheit carefully took the rabbit out of his pocket and laying the cap over it made several passes with his hands. "Presto—chesto—besto—change!" and lifting up the cap and the rabbit with both hands made a quick turn and pulled the rabbit out of the cap.
"It iss wonderful, iss it not?" said Gehsundheit. "See I haf taken a rabbit from your cap."
"Is that all you can do for me," asked Billy in disgust.
"It's all the tricks I haf yet learned, but yes, I can lend you a pocket handkerchief."
"What good will that do?" asked Billy.
"Vy, if you haf caught cold you will need it," said Gehsundheit, pulling out a little handkerchief.
