Milo, Tock, and the Humbug continued on their journey to find Rhyme and Reason, when they came upon an old man who was sitting at a desk. To Milo's surprise, the man sternly whispered, "Quiet, quiet, quiet!!! You cannot speak to your friends here. You're in Detention!"
"But sir, what have I done wrong to deserve a detention?" Milo asked quite unsure of the reason for this negative consequence.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" roared the strange-looking man, his beady little eyes staring at his own nose. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Well, if you don't know then you will have to stay in detention until you figure it out!"
The humbug interjected, "Excuse me my good man, but you see, we really do have to be getting on our way. We have to..."
"YOUR WAY? YOU HAVE TO BE GETTING ON YOUR WAY? You don't have a way! Because that way is a highway, while that way is a tollway," he said while pointing in what seemed like random directions. If you need to get gas for your car, there is a Speedway Gas Station over there, but if you have no money, you'll have to take the freeway.
"OK then," said Milo. "I guess we'll take the freeway then! Thank you for your help!"
"You're so welcome young man! I really do hope that you have enjoyed your time in Detention! I know I enjoyed having you as a guest here! I usually have such poorly-behaved children visit Detention, but you were quite a pleasure! Good luck on your journey!"
