A wagon and a horse occupied one corner . `` Now , '' Paul went on , `` you see that I 've indicated these fellows spent a brief time here .

To show that they are eating I have made a coffee pot in the hand of one , though that was hardly the truth , for we 've had none this time . But I guess it 's always allowable to stretch things _ just a little _ in these picture stories . They were white because they all wear hats .
