"Now I'm Santy Claus," mumbled Jack, feeling around for his head. Both / he and Peter had stepped off into space and tumbled together down a / long dark passageway. "We've fallen down a chimney," continued Jack, / finding his head and settling it firmly on his shoulders. "I must say / this is a great way to enter a city."

"It is a grate," said Peter, with a little groan, for he was sitting / astride a pair of iron fire dogs, "but how do you know it's a city? " / Fortunately there was no fire burning in the grate and, picking up the / pirate's sack, Peter stepped out into a large red square. Jack had to / bend almost double to get out at all and as he straightened up a sign / hanging on the outside of the chimney caught his attention.
