"Light house," said the Great Huge Bear; after which remark he dropped / off into another of his half-naps.

The audience that gathered to hear Doctor Goose was small indeed. / There was Buddie, who really wished to hear the lecture; the Donkey, / who would as soon hear it as not; the Rabbit, who was present under / protest; Doctor Fox, wearing his most critical air, and prepared to / contradict every third statement; the Bear, who would as soon be dozing / there as elsewhere; the Yellow Dog, who came out of curiosity; and the / Loon, who never missed a chance to shriek "Hear! hear!"
