We sat down on a heap of stones, and decided that we would ask for a lift from the next cart, whichever way it was going.
It was while we were waiting that Oswald found out about plantain seeds being good to eat.
When the sound of wheels came we remarked with joy that the cart was going towards the Tower of Mystery.

It was a cart a man was going to fetch a pig home in.

Denny said-- 'I say, you might give us a lift.

Will you ?' The man who was going for the pig said-- 'What, all that little lot ?' but he winked at Alice, and we saw that he meant to aid us on our way.

So we climbed up, and he whipped up the horse and asked us where we were going.
