I will say my prayers! oh, I will!" and, rising in his bed, Boo did so, with the devotion of an infant Samuel, for he remembered the talk when the society was formed. Molly thought her labors were over for that night, and soon went to bed, tired with her first attempts.
This innocent bit of boasting provoked their derisive laughter, and a quantity of playful epithets and nicknames, which the idiot endured with marvellous patience, until one dirty little boy put the thumb of his left hand to his nose, twirled the fingers, and said, "Boo! boo! boo!" This act had the same effect on poor Stoop as the shaking of a red handkerchief at a bull. It enraged him.
They have a way of jumping out at me and crying 'Boo! when I least expect it." "Um-m! I see. Mr. Dietz told me that he was under lifelong obligation to a certain Colonel Calvin Gray. Something to do with passports " "I once rendered him a slight favor." "He doesn't regard the favor as 'slight. He was about to be imprisoned for the duration of the war and you managed to get him back home."
"Oh dear! why can't boys play without making such a mess," sighed Molly, picking up the feathers from the duster with which Boo had been trying to make a "cocky-doo" of the hapless dog.
He dashed up noisily from the underbrush, swung his arms, and shouted, "Boo!" Instantly deer and fawn, with two or three tremendous bounds, were out of the little valley and far away on the prairie, skimming over the rolls of green, and before the boy could catch his breath, they had disappeared into one of the many dells and ravines that interlaced the landscape.
"I tell you we'd have beaten them hollow," shouted Wibberly to the company in general. "No you wouldn't!" retorted Wyndham; "we were ahead and our men were as fresh as yours, every bit!" "Ya boo cheats! Told you there'd be no fair play with such a pack," shouted the Welchers. "Look here, who are you calling a cheat?" said Wyndham, very red in the face, edging up to the speaker.
Then the Cleveland Naps after Napoleon Lajoie. Anyway, after the regular season was over, a lot of them would barnstorm around the Cleveland area, and sometimes I'd be their bat boy. "Later on, I even pitched a few games for Bill Bradley's Boo Gang," the shadow added proudly. "Boo Gang?" said Lisa with a little shudder. "Boo like a Ghost?" added Hootsey. "No, no," laughed Rube's image.
After that came the contest between Herbert Widgeon and Montague Brown, the latter, a twenty-four handicap man, being entitled to shout "Boo!" three times during the round at moments selected by himself. There had been many more of these degrading travesties on the sacred game, and I had writhed to see them. Playing freak golf-matches is to my mind like ragging a great classical melody.
Mr Bryan led one party, Mr Fitzgerald another; the latter with a loud shriek, which he called his family war cry, it sounded like "Wallop a hoo a boo, Erin go bragh," sprang on to the walls.
Boo Khaloom began to lose all patience, and swore by the bashaw's head, that he would return to the tents, if he was not immediately admitted, he got, however, no satisfaction but a motion of the hand from one of the chiefs, meaning "wait patiently;" and Major Denham whispered to him the necessity of obeying, as they were hemmed in on all sides, and to retire without permission would have been as difficult as to advance.
