On many a day had Handy, the Goat Girl of Mern, pursued her goats up and down the rocky eminences of her native mountain.

As she was pursuing What-a-butter, her favorite goat, there was a sudden crash, a whish, and up flew the slab of rock on which she was standing, up and away. The adventures into which she was carried by this simple though awefull beginning take a whole book to relate.
