Finally Janet said: "I guess we better go home, Teddy." "Why?" "Oh, it's getting late, and I'm getting hungry." "So'm I. I'll wait until he comes up once more and then well go."

But even as much fun as it was playing at being shipwrecked on an island, like Robinson, in the story book, the children soon tired of it. "I guess we'd better go home," said Sue after awhile. "I'm terribly hungry, Bunny." "So'm I." "And if we can't catch any fish, and can't find any place to get things to eat from, we'd better go home." "Yes, I guess we had. I wonder if I can row the boat?"
Finally Trot said softly, "The land's the best, Cap'n." "It is, mate, for livin' on," he answered. "But I'm glad to have seen the mermaids," she added.. "Well, so'm I, Trot," he agreed. "But I wouldn't 'a' believed any mortal could ever 'a' seen 'em an' an' " Trot laughed merrily. "An' lived to tell the tale!" she cried, her eyes dancing with mischief. "Oh, Cap'n Bill, how little we mortals know!"
"Oh, Bud! I'm so glad! So glad!" murmured Rosemary, as her cousin put his arm around her only one arm for the other was still sore. "So'm I!" murmured Bud. "This is another cousin Nort," and he nodded toward his boy rancher companion. "And there's a third one down there Dick but he's hurt!" "Badly?" "Oh, no, just a piece of lead through his arm. He'll be all right in a few days.
We will hurry into Liverpool, and then I think it likely your little visitors may enjoy keeping house with your dolls, or having a nice swing." "I wish I could eat something," said Dotty, with a solemn face; "but I'm too sick." "So'm I," groaned Flyaway. "I couldn't eat noffin' 'cept cake."

And the monkey took off his blue cap to gather the pennies for his master. "Good boys!" said the Italian with a smile, and he played another tune for them. And then it was time for him to travel on.
"Mustn't miss my station," and he was settling himself down to sleep again, when, as he glanced at his fellow-traveller, he caught sight of the Skipper's rig-out.

"I'm sure willing to take a little trouble like buryin' Dade." "So'm I," Sandy admitted, replacing the blanket. "I guess we're pretty lucky. Come on while I rustle some grub. We want to pull out of here. You've got to get to a doctor as soon as you can."
