Let's tickle him now, by feeling his own short ribs, and see how he will like it; we'll soon see whose hide is the thickest, hisn or ourn, won't we? Let's see whether he will say chee, chee, chee, when he gets to the t'other eend of the gun." "What is the meaning of that saying?" I asked. "I never heard it before."
I've figured some things out. For some others I need facts. How about it?" She swallowed. "I'll try." "Coffee?" he asked. Murgatroyd popped his head out of his miniature sleeping-cabin. "Chee?" he asked interestedly. "Go back to sleep!" snapped Calhoun. He began to pace back and forth. "I need to know something about the pigment patches," he said jerkily.
It would be too sensible for them to have done it!" Murgatroyd said "Chee!" in a subdued voice. "But where the devil did they put them?" demanded Calhoun. "A polar orbit would be ridiculous! They " Then he grunted in disgust. "Oh! Of course! Now, where's the landing-grid?"
"You look younger than Anne, and she looks like a mere chee ild. Don't forget that you are going to send us pictures of you in your cap and gown, will you?" she added, looking affectionately at the two pretty seniors, whose help and kindly interest had meant much to her individually. "We will see you to the door," laughed Grace, slipping her arm through Mabel's.
Murgatroyd said "Chee!" in a subdued voice. "But where the devil did they put them?" demanded Calhoun. "A polar orbit would be ridiculous! They " Then he grunted in disgust. "Oh! Of course! Now, where's the landing-grid?"
Then he heard a very small sneeze. Out of a rolling wall of still-roiling dust, Murgatroyd appeared forlornly. He was dust-covered, and draggled, and his tail dropped, and he sneezed again. He moved as if he could barely put one paw before another, but at sight of Calhoun he sneezed yet again and said "Chee!" in a disconsolate voice. Then he sat down and waited for Calhoun to come and pick him up.
We'll soon see how he likes other folks' jokes; I have my scruple about him, I must say. I am dubersome whether he will say 'chee, chee, chee' when he gets 'T'other eend of the gun." "Pray Sir," said one of my fellow passengers, "can you tell me why the Nova Scotians are called 'Blue-noses?"
Now let us sing a little song about these flowers we've been hopping about in; it's pleasanter. Chirp, don't sing too loud, Chirk, not too fast, and Chee, don't mumble your words:" Golden Flowers Fast "Everywhere you go You see them dancing, Flowers dancing In the sunlight. "Nodding heads are shining Like the dew-drops, Sparkling dew-drops, Shining gayly."
"'Come, Pat, sais I, 'blaze away now. Back goes the hind leg agin, up bends the back, and Bull-Dog rises slowly to his shoulder; and then he stared, and stared, until his arm shook like palsy. Chee, chee, chee, went the squirrel agin, louder than ever, as much as to say, 'Why the plague don't you fire?
He abandoned instrument control and peered directly out of a port, handling the solar system drive with great care. Murgatroyd said depressedly, "Chee!" "Stop worrying," commanded Calhoun. "We haven't been challenged, and there is a beacon transmitter at work, just to make sure that nobody bumps into what we're looking for. It's a great help, because we do want to bump, but gently."
