"And what are your needs, Captain Mauser?" Joe said evenly, "If I can bring this off, I'll be a fracas buff celebrity. I don't have any illusions about the fickleness of the Telly fans, but for a day or two I'll be on top. If at the same time I had your all out support, pulling what strings you could reach " "Why then, you'd be promoted to Upper, wouldn't you, captain?"
Of all creatures that grow in the sea, there is none more hideous, and only a hungry savage could have thought them fit for food." "They ain't over hansum," replied Uncle Terry, "but fried in pork fat they go middlin' good if ye're hungry." That afternoon Telly invited Albert to row her up to a cove, at the head of which was a narrow valley where blueberries grew in profusion.
"I hain't bin thinkin' 'bout myself in this matter," he observed as he picked up the reins again and chirruped to the old horse, "an' only am wantin' ter see ye provided fur, Telly. As fur Mr. "But you are not anxious to be rid of me, are you, father?" asked Telly, smiling now and gladdened by his unusual caress.
Once a good distance from the Witch's home, the camera man took off his mask. Of course, as you may have already guessed, it was actually Graham in disguise. And with him were MacDonald Lindsay and Jeanne-Marie. The plan had worked, and they had rescued not only Telly, but also the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger as well. "I want to thank you," said Telly, "for coming to our rescue that way.
A week after Uncle Terry's return from Boston he asked Telly to go with him on his daily drive to the head of the island. He had described the exciting incidents of his trip both to his wife and Telly, and, feeling obliged to do so, had told them that Mr. He had noticed that Telly had seemed unusually cheerful ever since, and likewise more affectionate.
"Don't you think so, Telly?" he asked, turning to his friend. But Telly was crying like a baby. Tears were flowing in gushes down his screen and splashing off his metallic boots. Doré produced a wad of tissues and dried his eyes. "You're likely to get a short circuit," she said. "By the way, I'd be delighted to have you join me for supper before you continue on your journey."
His officers appreciated him and so did the ultra-knowledgeable fracas buffs but he was all but an unknown to the average dim wit who spent most of his life glued to the Telly set, watching men butcher each other. On the various occasions when matters had pickled and Joe had to fight his way out against difficult odds, using spectacular tactics in desperation, he was almost always off camera.
Instead, he sweated it out alone, helped only by Max Mainz who was being somewhat huffy about this Telly reporter taking over his position as observer. They approached the sailplane, and while Joe Mauser checked it out, in careful detail, Freddy Soligen and Max began loading the equipment into the graceful craft's second seat, immediately behind the pilot.
Then he added with a droll smile, "Lissy an' me sorter 'spected that Telly was the magnet that drew ye down here!" "I thank you for your confidence and consent," replied Albert gratefully, glad that he had spoken. "I am earning an income that is more than sufficient for two, and if Telly will say 'yes, I shall be the happiest man on earth. And now," he added, "let's go fishing, Uncle Terry."
And all the excitement of being in a fracas, getting in the dill, and all. I just want to be like the other fellas, Papa." Freddy could only stare at him. Sam tried to explain. "Shucks, it was really you that made me want to become a mercenary. You're the best Telly reporter of them all. When you cover a fracas, Papa, you really do it. You can see everything." He shook his head in admiration.
