         ÒWhat a place to be at midnight,Ó Al muttered.  Their tumbril had 
stopped before a black, brooding swamp.  It smelled of molasses.  Percy 
and Paul had jumped down out of the tumbril and were showing Polly their 
raft.
         ÒThis is it, maÕam,Ó the two peanuts said respectfully, pointing to a 
raft of bamboo lying in the brush along the shore.  ÒI think we can just 
crowd onto it.  WeÕll have to leave the cart behind, though.Ó
         ÒYes,Ó Polly agreed.  ÒLeave the tumbril, boys,Ó Polly called to the 
peanuts whoÕd pulled them.
         ÒMay we rest, maÕam?Ó a peanut called out in the night.
         ÒYes, if you wish,Ó Polly said.  ÒItÕs quite late.Ó  She turned to 
Matilda.  ÒUsually when I come to the Citadel, itÕs because the Sultan has 
sent for me, in his royal coach.  Then he sends out his royal raft, from the 
castle, and it is put in the far end of the moor and transports me across it.  
I suppose weÕll have to make do on our own, this time.  Or I can send Percy 
and Paul ahead.  Perhaps they can have the Licorice Lad send out the royal 
raft for us in the morning.Ó
         ÒNo time!Ó Matilda said.  She gazed at the dark swamp, and felt a 
chill run up her spine.
         ÒItÕs awfully dark,Ó Al said.  There was a sliver of moon overhead, 
but in the swamp theyÕd lose it, in amongst all the cypress trees.  Al 
thought he saw something move in the swamp.  ÒAn animal.  Or a bird,Ó he 
muttered hopefully, wondering if it might be something worse.
         ÒThis bamboo raft will just have to do,Ó Matilda said.  She stepped 
out onto it.  It rocked in the still molasses muck of the swamp.  ÒGet on, 
Al,Ó she said.
         ÒShouldnÕt someone stay behind, in case thereÕs trouble?Ó Al asked.  
An owl hooted.  He jumped onto the raft.  ÒThen again, I donÕt want to be 
left behind!Ó Al said.  They were alone, just the four of them, plus Polly, 
Percy and Paul, and a group of peanuts whoÕd pulled their tumbril.  Al 
guessed the peanuts whoÕd pulled them would stay behind.  He didnÕt want 
to be left alone with a strange bunch of midgets who insisted on wearing 
peanut costumes.  Wilma got onto the raft behind him, then Glenda.  
Somewhere he thought he heard the column of peanut-pulled tumbrils, 
rolling along the road.  Then again, perhaps it was just his imagination.  
The others might have chosen to stay behind and make camp along the Sea 
of Cream, despite PollyÕs order for them to catch up.  Al gazed at the 
forest behind them.  It looked spooky.  TheyÕd passed between oaks and 
pines, and between patches of wet-looking grass.  There hadnÕt been any 
savory fruit hanging off the branches of those trees.  The branches of the 
trees waved against the sky, as if trying to clutch at the moon.
         ÒAlright, shove off,Ó Matilda told Percy and Paul.  The two peanuts 
picked up a pole lying on the raft and stuck it into the swamp.  They found 
the bottom with the end of it and gave a push.
         ÒHelp them, Al,Ó Matilda said.  The bald man cringed a little, but took 
hold of the pole.
         ÒOn the count of three, guys,Ó Al said.  ÒOne, two, three!Ó  Together 
he and Percy and Paul all pushed on the pole at once.  The raft glided out 
into the bog.
