"Can't we take a short cut down there ?" asked Joe.
"Not good enough," said Cupid.

"That's where Charon hangs out; and he and I don't hit it off.

No, we'd better go down to where you went asleep, and then trot down by the track to Llanberis.

I know the way-- come on." They followed, wondering at the pace at which they went.
