"Have you seen the beast before, Smithy?" asked the scout-master, ceasing his little racketty waltz; which caused the bear to once more stand at attention, waiting for the piece of bread that usually came after he had performed his little trick; and still sniffing hungrily around this way and that. "That's what I have, Thad," replied the other, eagerly.
Mollie had been listening for a little while to a distant rumble. It now resolved itself into the uneven racketty grind of heavy cart- wheels on a rough track. She went forward with Hugh, and, shading her eyes from the glare of the sun, looked up the road which wound between the trees of the wood they were in.
Will you kindly go back to the hall, and try to enter this room in a manner more becoming to a lady and a Maynard?" "I will, indeed, Mother. And you're quite right; I was awful racketty." Marjorie returned to the hall, and then came in with graceful, mincing steps, purposely overdoing the scene.

"Here's the racketty stuff," went on Hoskins, indicating the boxes. "That small box has the fuses. Get the stuff along, and I'll lay the magneto wire."
