"This is -er -outrageous -I'll I'll tell your folks!" "That's right, be a tattle-tale!" came from Giant, and then he began to sing softly. "Ham in the pan! Ham in the pan! Ham's the best of meat!" "Ham in the pan! Ham in the pan! Ham is good and sweet!"

"He spoke of it last night, and Alix tells me that you are calling Mr. Lloyd 'Martin! Now, dearie, Martin Lloyd is fully ten years " "Then Alix is a tattle-tale!" Cherry said childishly.

As it is, Captain Putnam, I want to take the entire blame on my own shoulders." "The blame of what, Samuel?" "Of what I am going to tell you about.

"Oh, I guess not," answered Jimmie. "I can stay under water a long time. I want to see how it feels to dive in ker plunk! like a frog." "I'm going to tell mamma," cried Alice. "Tattle-tale!
