It is far too heavy for us .to carry.” “Good gracious,” shouted Richard. “I never thought of that.”; “Oh dear!” Gwen wailed. “That certainly is going to be a problem.”

“Ted,” said Richard, seating himself on the chest, so that he could better address the company, “is quite right. We certainly must get it home before we can open it. The question is—how?” “Yes!” agreed Gwen. “How? I don’t see how we are going to do it." “Well!” said Richard, “listen to me, and I’ll tell you how we shall do; it. I guarantee to get it home by this evening.” “Good!” cried Polly. “Tell us al about it.”
