 and pull away against each other for a long 

 while ; at last they find out something is wrong, 

 and work properly together. They may have 

 some deep design in their proceedings of which 

 we are ignorant, but to me it looks like sheer 

 stupidity ; and as they measure three-quarters 

 of an inch, they certainly are "big enough to 

 know better."
