I gave him a statement." Mr. Greenough frowned. "It would have been as well to have waited. However." "Oh, Banneker," put in Mallory, "Judge Enderby wants you to call at his office." "Who's Judge Enderby?" "Chief Googler of the Goo-Goos; the Law Enforcement Society lot. They call him the ablest honest lawyer in New York. He's an old crab. Hates the newspapers, particularly us." "Why?"
The conjecture was obviously suggested by the fact that Baby, clinging to the fringe of his hunting-coat with all her ten pudgy thumbs was at that moment uttering her sense of the situation in a series of exultant goo-goos inspired by sight of her father's raccoon-skin cap. The woman yielded: lacking the gift of humor she could not hold out against his kindly badinage.
When Stella Schump was adjusting her black sleevelets next morning, somewhat obviously oblivious of the optical department across the aisle, a blond, oiled head leaned out at her. "Mornin'. Goo-goo!" A flush that she could feel rush up and that would not be controlled threw her into a state of agitation that was almost abashing to behold. "Tee-hee!" "Believe me, Bettina, those are some goo-goos!"
"'Say, he said to me, he said, just like that, 'I know a society who will pay you a big fat sum if you'll sign over them eyes for post-mortem laboratory work. Believe me, Bettina, he said, just like that, 'those are some goo-goos!" "'Goo-goos'?" "Yes, ma the way I look out of them." "See, Stella, if you'd only mix with the young men and not be so stiff-like with them. See!
"That's one of the things I wanted to know," remarked Captain Freeman at last. "Hakkut has this camp completely surrounded, but is keeping his men quiet. I wish we had two or three more Gatlings and a whole wagon load of this special ammunition. We could make it interesting for the goo-goos."
"I'll break his face if he goo-goos you," said Getaway, who by this time had a headache and whose feet had fitted reluctantly back into patent leather. But inexplicably, even to herself, that night, in the shadow of the stoop of her witch of a rooming house, she let him kiss her lips. His first of her her first to any man.
"'Believe me, Bettina, he said, 'those are some goo-goos' just like that, he said it." "Before I'd let a girl like Cora Kinealy have all the beaus! I bet she'd ask him." "It it just ain't in me, ma. The other girls do, I know you ought to heard the way Mabel Runyan was kiddin' a fellow in the silks to-day it just ain't in me to." "Nowadays, young men got to be made to feel welcome."
"Sure, Sarge." With this implement Hal Overton burrowed a small hole through the top of the trench. Thus, without exposing himself too much, he was able to keep an eye on the distant grove in which the Moros had found cover. "I'll let you spell me on this watch, from time to time, Kelly," said Hal. "I'll be glad to, Sarge, for I'll admit that I'm anxious to know what the goo-goos are doing."
Slosson, I'm beginning to think we ought to force the brown men to accept pipes. If they smoked 'em the way you do yours there'd soon be fewer of the pesky brown goo-goos in this land." Fortunately there was water, a clear, cool spring of it just below the trench line. As soon as the men were rested, Captain Freeman detailed a score of them to haul water up into camp.
Whenever a native grows tired of fighting, or wants to enter a town for the purpose of getting information, he hides his arms, then enters Uncle Sam's lines, pretending that he is a "good" man, and not a rebel against the authority of the United States Government. From this the soldiers have learned to allude to all fighting Filipinos as goo-goos. "Lend me your trenching tool, Kelly?"
