"Extend him and let's see what he's got." "Extend him so's eve'ybody kin see whut he's got!" mumbled Mose rebelliously. "Huh!"

The Kid sat upon the fence, nursing an old-fashioned silver stop watch, for he was "clocking" the morning workouts.
Eugene danced on his chair and begged to be of the party; but Harriet pouted, and asked why the "odd boy" could not be sent. "Because, as you very well know, if he did not break, he would addle, every egg in the basket. "There can be no need to go to-day." "The speckled hen is clocking to brood, and she is the best mother in the yard.
"I declare they two are never sindry. They will be out talk-talking, yatter-yattering when the kye are being milked in the morning. Irma makes her carry the water, that's one comfort. But I wonder at that silly auld clocking hen, Seraphina Huntingdon.

The arrival of each new visitor caused changes in the block diagram. These arrivals went at their project with stop watches and slide rules. They calibrated themselves and James with the cold-blooded attitude of racetrack touts clocking their favorite horses.
