"Oh, nonsense," snapped Mrs. Noah. "You are as timid as a zebra. During the Flood, we sailed days and days and days, going backward. It didn't make a particle of difference how we went—it was as safe one way as another, and we got just as far away in the end. OH NONSENSE SNAPPED MISSUS NOAH YOU ARE TIMID AS A ZEBRA DURING THE FLOOD WE SAILED DAYS AND DAYS AND DAYS GOING BACKWARD IT DIDN'T MAKE A PARTICLE OF DIFFERENCE HOW WE WENT IT WAS AS SAFE ONE WAY AS ANOTHER AND WE GOT JUST AS FAR AWAY IN THE END

It looks now as if we were really off.” “It seems to me, though,” said Cleopatra, gazing forward, “that we are going backward.” “Oh, well, what if we are!” said Mrs. Noah. “We did that on the Ark half the time. It doesn’t make any difference which way we are going as long as we go, does it?” “Why, of course it does!” cried Elizabeth. “What can you be thinking of? People who walk backward are in great danger of running into other people. Why not the same with ships? It seems to me, it’s a very dangerous piece of business, sailing backward.” CKLY IT WOULD NEVER DO FOR US TO BE RECAPTURED NOW THE SUGGESTION OF ELIZABETH WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE QUEEN HERSELF CUT THE HAWSER WITH SIX WELL DIRECTED STROKES OF THE AXE YOU ARE AN EXPERT WITH IT AREN'T YOU SMILED CLEOPATRA I AM INDEED REPLIED ELIZABETH GRIMLY I HAD IT SUSPENDED OVER MY HEAD FOR SO LONG A TIME BEFORE I GOT TO THE THRONE THAT I COULDN'T HELP FAMILIARIZING MYSELF WITH SOME OF ITS POSSIBILITIES AH CRIED MISSUS NOAH AS THE VESSEL BEGAN TO MOVE I BEGIN TO FEEL EASIER IT LOOKS NOW AS IF WE WERE REALLY OFF IT SEEMS TO ME THOUGH SAID CLEOPATRA GAZING FORWARD THAT WE ARE GOING BACKWARD OH WELL WHAT IF WE ARE SAID MISSUS NOAH WE DID THAT ON THE ARK HALF THE TIME IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHICH WAY WE ARE GOING AS LONG AS WE GO DOES IT WHY OF COURSE IT DOES CRIED ELIZABETH WHAT CAN YOU BE THINKING OF PEOPLE WHO WALK BACKWARD ARE IN GREAT DANGER OF RUNNING INTO OTHER PEOPLE WHY NOT THE SAME WITH SHIPS IT SEEMS TO ME IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PIECE OF BUSINESS SAILING BACKWARD
