Life is but short— As they rode along Bob ignored Jerry’s evident irritation, knowing that it was caused by his forced presence. He talked about a thousand things.

When the ceremony was over, all the company returned to the King's palace, where a great banquet had been prepared for the fairies. The table was magnificently laid for them, and each had placed for her a massive gold case, containing a spoon, a fork, and a knife of fine gold, set with diamonds and rubies. “What’s the rush?” asked Bob. “Found out something?” “Really, it ought,” agreed Asta. “Gee whiz, it’s interesting,” said Bob at last, when Jerry put the fascinating instrument away..
