`` Oh ! dear no , '' cried the Rocket . `` I am merely a visitor , a distinguished visitor . The fact is that I find this place rather tedious . There is neither society here , nor solitude . In fact , it is essentially suburban . I shall probably go back to Court , for I know that I am destined to make a sensation in the world . '' `` I had thoughts of entering public life once myself , '' remarked the Duck ; `` there are so many things that need reforming . Indeed , I took the chair at a meeting some time ago , and we passed resolutions condemning everything that we did not like . However , they did not seem to have much effect . Now I go in for domesticity , and look after my family . '' `` I am made for public life , '' said the Rocket , `` and so are all my relations , even the humblest of them . Whenever we appear we excite great attention . I have not actually appeared myself , but when I do so it will be a magnificent sight . As for domesticity , it ages one rapidly , and distracts one 's mind from higher things . '' `` Ah ! the higher things of life , how fine they are ! '' said the Duck ; `` and that reminds me how hungry I feel '' : and she swam away down the stream , saying , `` Quack , quack , quack . '' `` Come back ! come back ! ''
screamed the XXXXX , `` I have a great deal to say to you '' ; but the Duck paid no attention to him .
