`` What have you been doing ? '' `` Seeing Fun . '' `` Good for you , Rose ! I know what you mean . We are going to have him up to show us how to fly the big kite , for we ca n't get the hang of it . Is n't he great fun , though ? '' `` No , little Fun . '' `` Come , stop joking , and show us what you 've got . '' `` You 'd better hoist that fan for a sail . '' `` Lend Dandy your umbrella ; he hates to burn his pretty nose . '' `` I say , uncle , are you going to have a Feast of Lanterns ? '' `` No , I 'm going to have a feast of bread and butter , for it 's tea-time . If that black cloud does n't lie , we shall have a gust before long , so you had better get home as soon as you can , or your mother will be anxious , Archie . '' `` Ay , ay , skipper . Good-night , Rose ; come out often , and we 'll teach you all there is to know about rowing , '' was Charlie 's modest invitation . Then the boats parted company , and across the water from the `` Petrel 's '' crew came a verse from one of the Nonsense songs in which the boys delighted . `` Oh , Timballoo ! how happy we are , We live in a sieve and a crockery jar ! And all night long , in the starlight pale , We sail away , with a pea-green sail , And whistle and warble a moony song To the echoing sound of a coppery gong . Far and few , far and few Are the lands where the Jumblies live ; Their heads are green , and their hands are blue , And they went to sea in a sieve . ''
