There were also several pleas to be taken along, but the mention of the five dollar assessment silenced all such requests. "All ready!" called out Joe Miller at last. "You youngsters jump on lively, for we've got a long way to go." With a glad whoop Dick & Co. piled aboard the truck, stowing themselves away as comfortably as might be. "Giddap!" grumbled Joe at the horses.
"I licked him good. You ask anybody. And he's twice as big as I am. I guess they's a good many years left in Casey Ryan yet! Giddap, you thus-and-so! We're ten minutes late and we got our record!" At that moment a Ford touring car popped around the turn below him and squawked presumptuously for a clear passage ahead.
It is she that makes me still keep a little faith There, there! what an old fool I am! But, thanks, all the same, and don't you forget I'm your own to command if need comes. Shake, neighbor, and may your age be Giddap there, Prince! Let'son, lad; let's get on." Ninian did get on, but again silently pondering that here again was something mysterious in this honest octogenarian's mood.
Then Ted started Nicknack toward the craft. "Giddap!" cried Teddy to Nicknack. "We're going to camp on Star Island, and you can have lots of fun! Giddap!" Nicknack stood still on the dock for a few seconds, and he seemed to be sniffing the boat and the water in which it floated.
They put the burglars into the new jail, but they all got out, an' no one knows how they did it. Nate Bradley come back on his milk-cart from Bailey's and he says he went into the jail, an' the cells was all locked up, so they must have clumb out through the bars somehow. Gee! No one can find old Mose Silloway, an' they think the burglars drownded him, outer revenge. Giddap!"
"Giddap, Snap!" cried Freddie, and, with a bark, off the dog started, pulling the sled and the two children after him. "Oh, he's going! He's giving us a ride! It's as real as anything!" cried Flossie in delight, holding fast to the sled. "Oh, Freddie!" "Of course it's real!" said Freddie. "Bert and Nan said Snap wouldn't pull us, but I knew he would. I just wish they could see us now."
"Giddap, Ruth!" said Theodore; but departing, he pulled up to add cheerfully, "Say, Dad didn't get his raise." "Did?" said Margaret, brightening. "Didn't!" He grinned affectionately upon her as with a dislocating jerk the cart started a ricochetting career down the street, with that abandon known only to butchers' carts.
The little boy took some ropes and straps, and tied them about the dog's neck and front legs. Then some ends of the ropes were made fast to the little express wagon, and Bunny got in it, calling to Splash to "giddap!" That was the way Grandpa Brown made his horses go, and so, of course, a dog ought to go when you said that to him.
Come in and tell me about it." But Seth, instead of accepting the invitation, stared at him aghast. Then, turning about, he leaped down the steps, ran to the wagon and climbed in. "Giddap!" he shouted. Poor, tired Joshua lifted his clay-daubed hoofs. "You're not going back?" cried Gould. "Hold on, Atkins! Wait!" But Seth did not wait.
His gaze was fixed upon some indefinite portion of the horse's back and he drove leaning forward in an attitude of complete bodily and mental relaxation. If his guest wished conversation it was apparent that he must set it going himself. "Very warm day!" said Callandar tentatively. "So-so." The farmer slapped the reins over the horse's flank, jerked them abruptly and murmured a hoarse "Giddap!"
