"I was trying the engine, that's all." "Gosh all hemlock! An airship, eh? I thought it was a company o' soldiers firin' their rifles! Wot be you a'doin' here in my pasture lot ?" "Is this your lot ?"

We dragged it over here," explained Dick.
"We'll make it right with you for using the lot," he added, with a smile. "Oh, so thet's it, eh? Well, you're welcome to use the lot," said John Snubble.
