"Scootsy Mulligan! Crickety! he's come to make trouble," shouted back Tod, climbing the ladder in a hurry it was used as a means of descent into the shallow hold when not needed outside. "Where are they? Oh, yes! I see 'em lot of 'em, ain't they? Saturday, and they ain't no school. Say, Arch, what are we goin' to do?"
The old gentleman is in excellent preservation, considering his time of life. He has that crickety sort of liveliness, I mean the cricket's humor of chirping for any cause or none, which is perhaps the most favorable mood that can befall extreme old age.

If he's half as sour minded as old Crabtree, I'll catch it.
