Now, what do you say to another strong letter to-morrow, right in the same place. These " "Another letter!..." "You betcher hurt their feelings, anyway, if it don't do anything else. I guess you had it right, that a heavy dose of public opinion is " "Well, no," said V.V., frankly "no.... Another letter would be a mistake, at just this stage of the game a great tactical blunder "
"The very thing let's camp out on the church lot." "By Jinks!" exclaimed Maxwell, unclerically. "We'll have that tent up this very afternoon if Nickey will lend it to us, second hand, and get his men together." Nickey flushed with delight. "You betcher life I will," he shouted excitedly. "Is it for a revival stunt? You 'aint goin' to live there, are you?"
All night long Skinski had me on the stage in a wicker basket, while Uncle Peter jabbed a sword through me and Dodo sat in the front row on the aisle yelling "You betcher sweet!" Thursday broke clear and cloudless.
Then Uncle Peter coaxed Skinski off in a corner and there they hobnobbed for fifteen minutes while my wife and her aunt and I tried to get cheerful and chatty with "Aunt Flo," but we only succeeded in dragging from her four reluctant "You betcher sweets!"
"Why, Uncle Cornelius was the hit of the season with Uncle Peter, though, of course, Aunt Flora didn't make good with that 'You betcher sweet! monologue of hers. How could she? Even at that, she stands better with me than some conversational queens I know who get so busy with the gab they make me dizzy." About noon Bunch and I ducked for New Rochelle to do a bit of advance work for our show.
"That's all right, cap'n," said the man; "bein' brort up ter such lugsuries, of corse you kin appreshyate it. So if yer keep it fer yer own eatin', an' giv us wot we signed for, we shall be werry much obliged." "Now, I ain't a-goin' to 'ave none o' YOUR cheek, so you'd better git forrard. You can betcher life you won't get no more fresh messes this voy'ge."
"I've got the documents and everything to prove that my claim is all the goods," Skinski rattled on. "All it needs is the capital to work it and it's a bonanza, sure isn't it, Dodey I mean Flo!" "You betcher sweet!" she answered, whereupon Peaches and Aunt Martha had a fit of coughing which lasted three minutes.
"I've told Dodey all about you two glad boys," Skinski went on, "and she's for you, ain't you, Dodey?" "You betcher sweet!" Dodo chimed in, with a hungry glance at the cooked stuff. "I told her we had a business meet on here, but if she wanted to squeeze in she wouldn't be in nobody's way," Skinski continued.
"'I don't think he wants to drive, Bud says, considerin'. An' the rube says quick, 'You betcher life I do. 'You're dead sure you want that job? I says. Yes, he's dead sure. Nothin's goin' to keep him away from that job. Why, that job's what he come to town for, an' we can't lead him to it too quick.
He ought to have been on the qui vive, so to speak alert, active, wide-awake, pacing his post briskly of course, according to instructions; and if it was daylight when the officer of the deck could see him, you betcher he would.
