The same people choose another set, few in number, who occupy a common seat, on another leg.

These they term the Riddles.
Another set, still more numerous and popular in aspect, if not in fact, fills a large seat on the third leg.

These last, from their being supposed to be supereminently popular and disinterested, are familiarly known as the Legion.

They are also pleasantly nicknamed the Bobees, an appellation that took its rise in the circumstance that most of the members of their body have submitted to the second dock, and, indeed, have nearly obliterated every sign of a CAUDA.

I had, most luckily, been chosen to sit in the House of Bobees, a station for which I felt myself well qualified, in this great essential at least; for all the anointing and forcing resorted to by Noah and myself, during our voyage out, and our residence in Leaphigh, had not produced so much as a visible sprout in either.
The Great Sachem, the Riddles, and the Legion, had conjoint duties to perform, in certain respects, and separate duties in others.
