"I never eat, because I am stuffed full already, and I like my nice clean straw better than I do food." Trot and the sailor-man were hungry and made a hearty meal, for not since they had left home had they tasted such good food.

It was surprising that Button-Bright could eat so soon after his feast in Jinxland, but the boy always ate whenever there was an opportunity.

"If I don't eat now," he said, "the next time I'm hungry I'll wish I had." "Really, Cap'n," remarked Trot, when she found a dish of ice-cream appear beside her plate, "I b'lieve this is fairyland, sure enough." "There's no doubt of it, Trot," he answered gravely "I've been here before," said Button-Bright, "so I know." After supper they discovered three tiny bedrooms adjoining the big living room of the house, and in each room was a comfortable white bed with downy pillows.

You may be sure that the tired mortals were not long in bidding the Scarecrow good night and creeping into their beds, where they slept soundly until morning.
For the first time since they set eyes on the terrible whirlpool, Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care.

Button-Bright never worried about anything.
