And David found himself with the spade held tightly under one arm, his jacket zipped up to his chin, gloves on, and scarf knotted, all ready to go. AND DAVID FOUND HIMSELF WITH THE SPADE HELD TIGHTLY UNDER ONE ARM HIS JACKET ZIPPED UP TO HIS CHIN GLOVES ON AND SCARF NODDED ALL READY TO GO
l need a spade. I trust you will arrange for it, my boy?" "Of course, Phoenix," said David, jumping to his feet. "I'll get everything ready right away. Don't move till I get back." "Impossible, my boy." The Phoenix groaned as it shifted into a more comfortable position. David raced home to collect the necessary things for the trip. Remembering how cold it had been last time, he took his leather jacket out of the closet, and a pair of gloves and a scarf. For the Phoenix he borrowed a bottle of liniment and took all the cookies from the cooky jar. And he picked the shortest of three spades in the garage. During the rest of the day he massaged the Phoenix's back and wings with the liniment. He was exploding with curiosity about the Plan, of course. But the Phoenix would only smile its smuggest smile and tell him to "wait and see, wait and see"--which almost drove David mad. * * * * * Tomorrow took its time, the way it always does when you are anxious to see it arrive, but it finally came.
