"WHEN THEY AREN'T RIDING ON THE HAY, OR TO TOWN
WITH THE TOYMAN AND OLE METHUSALEH"

"MARMADUKE STOOD ON THE FENCE AND SHOUTED:--
'HOORAY! GO IT, REDDY!'"

"'THEY'RE GRAPPLIN' IRONS AND MARLIN SPIKES,' EXPLAINED
CAPTAIN JEHOSOPHAT, 'AND VERY TERRIBLE
WEAPONS'"

"'BETTER THAN SLIPPING DUCKS' EGGS UNDER THE OLE
HEN, ISN'T IT?' WHISPERED JEHOSOPHAT TO HIS
BROTHER"

"THE BOAT WAS SHAPED LIKE A WOODEN SHOE, AND SHE
SURELY HAD SO MANY CHILDREN SHE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO"

"HE FORMED HIS HANDS IN THE SHAPE OF A CUP AND
WAITED"

"'WE MUST HURRY, FOR WAY OVER THERE, I SEE THE
SUN. HE'S STIRRING IN HIS SLEEP'"

"'I'LL TAKE IT ALL BACK,' MARMADUKE YELLED, 'YOU'RE
NO LADIES AN' GEN'LEMEN--AN' I WON'T EVER ASK
YOU TO MY PARTY AGAIN'"

"OUT OF THAT HAT HE DREW A RABBIT, A LIVE WHITE
RABBIT, AND HELD IT UP BY ITS EARS FOR ALL TO SEE"
