Butefish after much mental travail, requesting the pleasure of the Toomeys' company at a reception and dance in the Prouty House to celebrate the third year of the town's prosperity and progress was one of the results of this meeting of the Boosters Club.
"Come on, now Gridley!" rang the imploring request from the home boosters, who were now too restless to keep to their seats. "Remember your record so far this season!" "Forceful playing, but keep cool. Use your Judgment to the last, and put a lot of speed and doggedness behind your science," was Wadleigh's adjuration. Those who followed form most close, now had their eyes on young Prescott.
They're perfectly splendid, like you. Why the terrible black look?" "Gamblers! Sure-t'ing guys! Boosters! Bah! Better dey lef you alone, dat's all. You're nice gal; too nice for dem feller." Rouletta smiled mirthlessly; there was an expression in her eyes that the woodsman had never seen. "'Too nice! That's almost funny when you think about it.
Hardly, however, had the two teams been started in a new line-up when the time keeper did his trick. The game was over. That last kick had failed, but who cared? The score was eleven to two! Ere the players could escape from the field the Gridley boosters were over on the gridiron. Dick and Dave were bodily carried to dressing quarters.
He had never known a higher moment. He drove away in a blur of wonder. He lunged into his office, chuckling to Miss McGoun, "Well, I guess you better congratulate your boss! Been elected vice-president of the Boosters!" He was disappointed. She answered only, "Yes Oh, Mrs. Babbitt's been trying to get you on the 'phone."
Truly the boosters were howling themselves hoarse. There was frenzy on in an instant. To the knowing among the watchers there was no chance for Gridley to rush down on the enemy's goal line, but every yard -every foot, now -carried the pigskin just so much further from Gridley's goal line. Gridley's interference rushed in solidly about Dave Darrin, as though to boost him through.
"One would almost expect," said Marian, "that a writer would say something more original. This valley is filled with people who came here saying precisely what you have said; and the lure of the land won them and here they are, shameless boosters of California." "Why shameless?" inquired Henry Anderson.
We junked all our boosters behind us on this take-off, and don't forget that, my friends." Weeks looked confused. "But I thought you said we could do this legal," he appealed to Rip. "If we're Patrol Posted as outlaws " "They can't do any more to us than they can for running in a plague ship," Ali pointed out. "Either will get us blasted if we happen into the wrong vector now. So what do we do?"
All these things, as well as the climate, the mines, the agricultural resources, the commerce, the scenery, were fully appreciated and enthusiastically made the most of by every mother's son. Any man among them was ready at a moment's notice to wax enthusiastic about the resources and the future of the place. They were "boosters" in the modern acceptation of the term.
It stimulated his imagination like strong coffee and evoked the roseate dreams of hasheesh. Even Mrs. Toomey, cautious and conservative as she was by nature and through many disappointments, could not resist the contagion of her husband's enthusiasm. To say that Toomey looked forward with eagerness to this meeting of the Boosters Club is to express it inadequately.
