from the mouths of the Frost Imps

Now Peggy was in a quandary. In

was the blazing torch with which to keep
the Frost Imps at safe distance. and at
her feet lay Mr.. Robin. She couldn't
pick up Mr.. Robin without laying down
the torch. thus becoming defenseless
against the Frost Imps. She couldn't
leave Mr.. Robin and carry Mrs. Robin
to safety. for the Frost rmps would get
after him again. The Imps saw her
difficulty and danced around her in high
glee.
Then Peggy surprised them. She
hurled her torch into the midst Of Them

dodge the hot flame. She snatched up

Bonnie Blue Bell took a hand in the ex.

drove his team of White Rabbits full

right and left. This gave Peggy time
to reach the protecting warmth of the
fire. The Frost 1mps could freeze
