[2744] picnic. [2745] And you, Maurice, she added, stay by the dinghy. [2746] She
called that a dinghy. [2747] The thin one chafed to run about, but the
youth had thrown himself down in the shade of a rock, like
Soe^rdello, but less noble, but ^for Sordello resembled a lion at rest,
and clung to it with both hands. [2748] The poor creatures, said Lady
Pedal, let them loose. [2749] Maurice made to obey. Keep off, said Lemuel.

[2750] The giant had refused to leave the boat, so that the Saxon could
not leave it either. [2751] Macmann was not free eitg^her, Lemuel held him

turn, in the same way as the other. [2767] It merely took a little longer.
[2768] Two decent, quiet, harmless men, brothers-in-law into the bargain,
there are billions of such brutes. [2769] Macmann's huge head. [2770] He has put
his hat on again. [2772] The voice of M^Lady Pedal, calling. [2773] She appeared,
