"The best way is to dye it,” said Rubadub to the twins, " a nice, bright grass green. And put his shirt on to boil, then cold-starch it and hot-iron it. Phil is very smart in the summertime, and most particular about his tinen. It would be a disgrace to send him from Scrub-Up Land to the Land-Where-Spring-Is-Coming in a badly tailored suit.”

Phil didn't say anything but smiled broadly. He may have been thinking of the flies he was going to get, or ha may have been think- ing of the nice dream he had had, or he may have been thinking of something elsa!
