He shook himself free of the mess as best he could, and rushed after her.
Ugh, yo coward! hittin gells, that's all yo're good for. And she ran off so fast that all sight of her was lost in a few seconds. Only two or three loud sobs seemed to come back from the dark hollow below. As for the boy, he stopped a second to disentangle his feet from the mop and the tattered sheet wherewith Louie had worked her transformation scene.

It isn't that Willard has fallen in love, he is going to have his three years' cruise first. Oh, were you much frightened, Phil? It was dreadful, and no one can tell where the boys took the disease.
