7: _In Which the Phoenix's Plan Is Carried Out, and There Are More Alarums and Excursions in the Night_ [Illustration] "Now, my boy," said the Phoenix, when they got back to the ledge that afternoon, "are the shops still open?" "I think they're open till six," said David, shaking the sand out of his shoes. "Are we going to buy something?" IN WHICH THE PHOENIX PLAN IS CARRIED OUT AND THERE ARE MORE ALARMS AND EXCURSIONS IN THE NIGHT NOW MY BOY SAID THE PHOENIX WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO THE LEDGE THAT AFTERNOON ARE THE SHOPS STILL OPEN I THINK THEY'RE OPEN TILL SIX SAID DAVID SHAKING THE SAND OUT OF HIS SHOES ARE WE GOING TO BUY SOMETHING

And David echoed, "Thank you, Monster." The Sea Monster ducked its head and blushed. A wave of fiery red started at its nose, traveled rapidly back over its ears, down its neck, along the body, and fanned out to the tips of its flippers and the extreme end of the barb in its tail. Even its whiskers turned pink. "Well--uh--glad to help--uh--nothing to it, really," it mumbled. Then it turned abruptly, galloped down to the sea, plunged into the surf, and was gone.
