At that instant a scraping sound was heard,

drawing nearer and nearer until from between

two big bushes appeared a huge dragon, who

approached the party, nodded his head and said:

"Good morning."

Had Quox been at all bashful I am sure he would

have felt uncomfortable at the astonished stare of

every eye in the group--except Tubekins, of

course, who was not astonished because he had seen

Quox so often.

Betsy had thought a "young" dragon must be a

small dragon, yet here was one so enormous that

the girl decided he must be full grown, if not

overgrown. His body was a lovely sky-blue in color

and it was thickly set with glittering silver

scales, each one as big as a serving-tray. Around

his neck was a pink ribbon with a bow just under

his left ear, and below the ribbon appeared a

chain of pearls to which was attached a golden

locket about as large around as the end of a bass

drum. This locket was set with many large and

beautiful jewels.
