And as he listened he began to shiver all over in the anticipated service of his country. "Very well," he said, "I'll take a taxi. But this has Valley Forge stung to death, you know." She said: "I took the liberty of sending my car to the Racquet Club for you. It should be there now. There's a foot-warmer in it." "Thank you so much," he replied with a burst of shivers. "I'll b-b-be right up."
H-h-h-elp!" spluttered the startled bride, and tried to get on her feet. "Sit down!" roared Captain Bean. Vehemently Stashia sat. "W-w-w-we'll all b-b-be d-d-drowned, drowned!" she wailed. "Not much we won't, Stashia. We're all right now, and we ain't goin' to have our necks broke by no fool horse, either. Trim in the sheet, Lank, an' then take that bailin' scoop."
"Oh, b-b-be sensible," Flexinna admonished her. "You know the k-k-kind he is. He's b-b-bound to impute to everybody what he would d-d-do in their p-p-place. Any man under the same circumstances would jump at the same suspicions." "But why?" queried Brinnaria, bewildered and angry. "Think a minute," said Flexinna. "To suspect all women is a c-c-convention, almost an axiom, with most men.
"'It's the w-way to b-b-be h-happy, F-F-Frederick, and s-s- successful, and R-RICH. D-D-Did you ever hear of Abraham P. F-F- F-Fillmore, F-F-Frederick?" There was an interval not a very pleasant one while we waited for Mr. Snider to try another shot at us. "Here's the wind!" said Spike, suddenly; "climb aboard!"
The boy laughed at his riding, but Yates was too much engaged in keeping his position to mind that very much. "D-d-dirt is s-s-said to b-b-be matter out of place, and that's what's the m-m-mat-matter w-w-with me." His conversation seemed to be shaken out of him by the trotting of the horse. "I say, Bartlett, I can't stand this any longer. I'd rather walk."
We've got a scheme for a little outing in our canoes, and want to put it up to the rest of the bunch. How about coming down, Toby?" "S-s-sure I'll b-b-be there!" exclaimed the other. "Then make a start soon," and with that Max rang off, because he knew Toby would hold him indefinitely if once he got started asking questions and stuttering at the same time.
"Oh, that's a fine place for honest scouts to pitch their tents, ain't it I don't think!" observed Joe Clausin, with a sneer. "H-h-huh! ain't there j-j-just twenty-six of us s-s-scouts; and ought we b-b-be afraid of one l-l-little g-g-ghost, or even a w-w-wild man?" demanded Bluff Shipley, who stuttered once in a while, when unduly excited, though he was by degrees overcoming the nervous habit.
Then he had it fixed so when Bandy-legs got to moving about, as he always does, you know, any time he was liable to loosen the plug and the pressure of the water'd do the rest. "Oh! what a wicked shame!" cried the owner of the wrecked canoe. "H-h-he ought t' b-b-be hung f-f-for it!" exclaimed Toby, just as indignant as though it had been his own boat that was injured so wantonly.
I've got a big proposition to make, and you want to listen carefully." "T-t-take c-c-care of the lantern, f-f-fellows; my d-d-dad's w-w-wanting this old barn f-f-for his t-t-tobacco crop, and he'd b-b-be some put out if it b-b-burned just now!" came from Bluff.
Pepeeta answered with a sigh. "Cheer up, child," he cried in his hearty fashion. "Your voice sounds like the squeak of a mouse! B-b-be gay! Be happy! How can you be sad on a morning like this? Look at the play of the muscles under the smooth skins of the horses! Remember the b-b-bright shining dollars that we coaxed out of the tightly b-b-buttoned breeches pockets of the gray-backed Q-Q-Quakers.
