But she has now, haven ' t you, Peabody? How? Oh! that ' s our secret, but he was nice, wasn ' t he? Really, we never see much of Peabody, not for long at least. We hear a quick noise and cheery Hello Everybody and then Well goodbye, I only dropped in for a moment as I was going by. We ' d like to have you stay longer, Peabody, but we realize how hard it is for you to be still. 21
