Suddenly, as they stared, this fog seemed to solidify before their eyes, seemed curiously to step into the foreground and show itself for what it was. They saw it was no longer fog, but water a level spread of dark, silent water. The Beaver Creek had flooded its banks and was noiselessly, pitilessly creeping over the world. "It's the river!" Belle whispered. "Gee whiz, isn't she high!"
"When I came to myself," G. Selden said, "I felt like that fellow in the Shakespeare play that they dress up and put to bed in the palace when he's drunk. I thought I'd gone off my head. And then Miss Vanderpoel came." He paused a moment and looked down on the carpet, thinking. "Gee whiz! It WAS queer," he said. Betty Vanderpoel's father could almost hear her voice as the rest was told.
As Chester stepped back after putting the last chair into place, there came a report from behind him. There was a flash that lighted up the shack like day, and the lad felt a bullet whiz past his ear. He whirled quickly, and fired in the direction of the window, where he saw a head bobbing down.
I can whiz past a man and give the sign and no one will know. Some times Marco can give it when people are dropping money into his cap. We can pass from one country to another and rouse everybody who is of the Secret Party.

They rattle us along over unevenly paved streets, and whiz us around corners with the rapidity of thought; an uncomfortable sensation in the region of the dorsal vertebræ, resulting from the unusual bumping process, and a fear lest, haply, we may be flying out of our carriage at a tangent into somebody's shop front, a pleasing reflection should we take a header amongst china.
The sail was rigged with the help of an old sailor who lived down by the lake shore, and on Friday afternoon Bert and Charley took a short trip. The Ice Bird behaved handsomely, much to the boys' satisfaction. "She's a dandy!" cried Bert. "How she can whiz before the wind." "You must take me out soon," said Nan. "I will," answered Bert. The chance to go out with Bert came sooner than expected.
Bud, I'm mighty glad ye showed me this. Jee whiz! Yes, and like you, only ten thousand times better-lookin'. What's her name, Bud?" "You don't want to know her name." "I want to the worst kind. My! Look at that cunning little curl! And her shape! You know nothing o' that yet, Bud, but I tell ye, sir, yer sister is put up just right according to my notions. Not too tall.
"Hospital!" exclaimed the young fellow, still smiling sweetly, "thass too bad! Same's my Aunt Polly hic my Aunt Polly's in the hospital, too ole auntie's been havin' twins! Whuzzamatter whiz you?" "I've got a broken arm " Jurgis began. "So," said the other, sympathetically. "That ain't so bad you get over that. I wish somebody'd break my arm, ole chappie damfidon't!
Bartlett that you helped me, and gee whiz, they'll thank, you a lot. Maybe you know about scouts because manual training teachers know a lot about scouts on account of scouts making bird-houses and all things like that, and so maybe you know about good turns. That'll be a peach of a good turn. And if I tell about it you'll get a kind of a medal from our troop with your name on it.
