The Wolf must be trapped, the sheep saved in spite of themselves, those poor sheep, driven blindly to slaughter. The General was not quite sure that they were sheep, or that they were being driven.

'Is Aylmer older than father? 'Yes. Aylmer's four years older. Why? 'I don't know. I wish I had a father who could fight, like Aylmer. And I'd like to fight too, like Teddy. 'Aylmer hasn't any wife and children to leave. Teddy's eighteen; you're only ten. 'Mother! 'Yes, dear? 'I wish I was old enough to fight. And I wish father was stronger.... Do you think I shall ever fight in this war?
But Farmer Green, with a grim smile of satisfaction, soon settled her in the same fashion as he had done the boy; and then, picking up his fishing-basket, strode away, calling out, 'Ye'll bide there my time, ye young limbs of mischief! It's only serving like ye serve! 'Button-boy, did he hurt you? asked Nancy anxiously; for all this time Teddy had not said a word.
We have never seen or heard anything of them since that night, but there is good reasons for believing that they have had us under surveillance." "And you think this may be a trap for us?" asked Teddy. "It may be," was the reply. "If they wanted to trap us, they would go about it in just about this way, if they were wise, wouldn't they?

"No, we won't let you play in the dirt," Teddy remarked. "But don't fall down, either. That's where he gets so dirty," Teddy told his mother. "He's always falling down, Trouble is." "It it's so s'ippery in de woods!" said the little fellow.
The crew were in fine practice by this time and the paddles rose, dipped, cross rested, clicked and water wheeled all as one in obedience to the commands shouted by Uncle Teddy. Just before the war canoe started out on her exhibition trip the Stars and Stripes was nailed to her prow with much ceremony and "floated proudly before" her throughout the manoeuvers.

It isn't half as much to sit and look at a parade as it is to ride in the band wagon.
There was a popping and a banging, and then around the corner of the house rode a lot of roughly-dressed men on ponies which kicked up a cloud of dust. "Ki-yi! Ki-yi! Yippi-i-yip!" yelled the men. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" exploded their revolvers. "Oh, dear!" screamed Janet. Teddy turned a little pale, but he did not make a sound. "What is it?" asked Mrs.
"And me." "And me." Ferd and Teddy spoke almost in the same breath. "No, I want you all to go up and get into bed," said Mrs. Gilligan decidedly. "If I see anything," she added, with a grim smile, "anything that looks like a ghost that is, I'll call you."
