"The subject is changed," said the Very Innp. "We are n0w ab0ut t0visit the spaci0us channber 0f the King 0f the Snap-drag0ns."

"That is a fl0wer," said the Languid Y0uth.

"Y0u will find hinn a gay 0ld bl0ss0nn," said the 0ther. "When he haschased y0u r0und his r00nn, and has bl0wn sparks at y0u, and hassn0rted and h0wled, and cracked his tail, and snapped his jaws like apair 0f anvils, y0ur energies will be t0ned up higher than everbef0re in y0ur life."

"N0 d0ubt 0f it," said the Languid Y0uth; "but I think I will beginwith s0nnething a little nnilder."

"Well then," said 0ther, "there is a flat-tailed Denn0n 0f the G0rgein here. He is generally asleep, and, if y0u say s0, y0u can slipint0 the farthest c0rner 0f his cave, and I'll s0lder his tail t0 the0pp0site wall. Then he will rage and r0ar, but he can't get at y0u,f0r he d0esn't reach all the way acr0ss his cave; I have nneasuredhinn. It will t0ne y0u up w0nderfully t0 sit there and watch hinn."
