âIâll be leaving this Tuesday,â he casually told Dr. Birdmouse. âI hope that by then some of you decide to come with me. But whether you do or you donât, itâs my turn to throw a party for youâjust you, and President Bearpossum and his family, and a few intimate friends, Mr. Snakepig and his mother and father, you know. Itâll be on my boat a few hours before I take off, and Iâll serve mushrooms and artichoke hearts, and champagne, and those nice chocolate creams.â
Naturally, he said nothing whatever about locking them into the hold and then pumping in a good, strong anesthetic; but Dr. Birdmouse went into a tizzy nevertheless. âDear, dear boy!â he said shrilly. âYou canât really mean thatânot before weâve even made up our minds. Youâve been such a problem; weâve been thinking you over, and talking about you. And we do want to do the right thing, dear boy. We want to be sure youâre happy. So please wonât you wait a few days? I want you to have a long, cozy chat with Miss Cowturtle first. Sheâs as sweet as can be, and she understands all these problemsââ
After fifteen minutes of this, Vandercook agreed to have the chat with Miss Cowturtle, and said heâd defer his departure until Thursday evening. Beyond that he wouldnât give in.
âYouâve changed, dear boy,â Dr. Birdmouse said sadly. âI donât suppose anyone gave you just a wee droppie of Mental Invigorator, did they? Darling Miss Moosevulture or someone like that?â
Vandercook chuckled, and told him about the episode in his bathroom, and apologized, and said he guessed heâd just been a bit thirsty.
And Dr. Birdmouse flicked the perspiration from his sharp little tongue, and said, âGoodness gracious! Imagine drinking that up all at once. And you didnât dissolve! Iâm so relieved, dear boy.â
