+       There were legends both on the front and on the back of the 
+       whistle. The one read thus:
+
+       FLA FUR BIS FLE The other: QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT 
+       'I ought to be able to make it out,' he thought; 
+       'but I suppose I am a little rusty in my Latin. 
+       When I come to think of it, I don't believe I even 
+       know the word for a whistle. The long one does seem 
+       simple enough. It ought to mean, "Who is this who is coming?" 
+
+       Well, the best way to find out is evidently to whistle 
+       for him.'
