To do that, it seems, from the
information Ku-Klip has given us, we must travel to
Mount Munch."
"If that's the programme, let us start at once,"
suggested Woot.
So they all went outside, where they found Polychrome
dancing about among the trees and talking with the
birds and laughing as merrily as if she had not lost
her Rainbow and so been separated from all her fairy
sisters.
They told her they were going to Mount Munch, and she
replied:
"Very well; I am as likely to find my Rainbow there
as here, and any other place is as likely as there. It
all depends on the weather. Do you think it looks like
rain?"
They shook their heads, and Polychrome laughed again
and danced on after them when they resumed their
journey.
Chapter Nineteen
The Invisible Country
They were proceeding so easily and comfortably on their
way to Mount Munch that Woot said in a serious tone of
voice:
"I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"Why?" asked Polychrome, dancing around the group of
travelers.
"Because," said the boy, thoughtfully, "I've noticed
that when we have the least reason for getting into
trouble, something is sure to go wrong. Just now the
weather is delightful; the grass is beautifully blue
and quite soft to our feet; the mountain we are seeking
shows clearly in the distance and there is no reason
anything should happen to delay us in getting there.
Our troubles all seem to be over, and -- well, that's
why I'm afraid," he added, with a sigh.
