"Cal'late to most of the time," said Walter. "Don't you ever have any fun? Don't you ever meet a couple of girls and treat them to ice-cream soda, for instance?" "Oh, sure!" said Walter. "Year ago come October Si Hinkle an' I, we went to the city for the day with the gals we was buzzin' then an' we bought 'em each an ice-cream sody." "Did you have to go to the city to do that?" said Dolly. "Sure!
"'You can't win, Bill says. "'Watch me, says I. An' with that I make a rush for the Terror, catchin' him unexpected. I'm that groggy I can't stand, but I just keep a-goin', wallopin' the Terror clear across the ring to his corner, where he slips an' falls, an' I fall on top of 'm. Say, that crowd goes crazy. "Where was I? My head's still goin' round I guess. It's buzzin' like a swarm of bees."
'Course I could smoke 'em out but somehow I hates ter make the po' things homeless an' I reckon they's got a notion that the hollow place in the back er this here ca'ige b'longs ter them an' the knot hole they done bored is the front do'. When me'n Miss Ann has ter drive on I jes' sticks a cawn cob in the hole an' the bees trabels with us. Sometimes their buzzin' air kinder comp'ny ter me.
Zip! "Guess there's a bee-tree somewhere around here, from the way the bees are buzzin'," said Si. "'Taint no bees," replied Shorty; "it's a mighty sight worse'n that. Them's bullets, Si Don't ye see the dumed galoots over yonder a-shootin' at us?" Si was no coward, and he was determined to show that he wasn't.
'Nay; I'm but afraid for thee, my poor lad, as knows naught, says he. I set him down on th' edge, an' th' beck run stiller, an' there was no more buzzin' in my head like when th' bee come through th' window o' Jesse's house. 'What dost tha mean? says I. "'I've often thought as thou ought to know, says he, 'but 'twas hard to tell thee.

"My dolls can't talk, 'ceptin' my phonograph one, and she says 'Mamma' and 'Papa, only now she's broken, inside, and she can't do nothin' but make a buzzin' sound, but I like her just the same." "But if a doll can't talk, how do you know when she likes anything?" asked Bunny. "Why, I I just know that's all," Sue answered. "All right," agreed Bunny. "Now it's my turn to pull her up and down, Sue."
Some of the chaps as they passed me wanted to know if I was a-goin' to stay there all night! And the Brigade buzzin' like mad to talk to the Captain.
