Evangeline whispered hissingly. "She's goin' to jump through a hoop o' fire! Without burnin' up!" John Bradford leaned forward to Miss Theodosia. "Having a good time?" he whispered. "Grand! Are you?" "Hunkydory!" He might have been a boy, she a girl. These might have been little Flagg brothers sisters. "We must have cones ice-cream cones," he said. "We've had 'em," piped Evangeline.
"We gotta get out quick, an' payin' our way at the start is quickest. Me I'm all hunkydory; but you ain't. The folks that's lookin' after you'll raise a roar. They'll have more detectives out than you can shake at stick at. We gotta dodge 'em, that's what." "Then we will dodge," said Young Dick.

"He can gnaw through leather as clean as a knife an' jes' about half as quick. They all'll be here in the mornin' hunkydory." "You jes' bet they will," Bill affirmed. "If one of em' turns up missin', I'll go without my coffee." "They jes' know we ain't loaded to kill," Henry remarked at bed-time, indicating the gleaming circle that hemmed them in.
