I dreaded the result; but I sez to myself, "Now surely that doggone ijit won't throw a call-down into the lady." but he did. "Miss Johnston," sez he, "that ain't no bulldog. That's a high-bred London bull-terrier. How would you like to be called a Chinaman? Come here, Cupid." It was like throwin' a bucket o' water on a bed o' coals.
I think there's trouble brewing, and it's only sixty more minutes. You keep on your patrol. We both might get a call-down for changing." "Well, begorra, if there's any call-down for a little humanity, I don't give a rap. You go get some dry clothes. I know Cap. Sawyer won't mind. You can be back here in five minutes. You've done enough to-day to deserve a little consideration, me boy. Hustle now!"
He got a call-down for that accident and this matter on top of it has made him sore. I'm up here this far because I got a line on you at Levant." "You did, hey?" Mr. Wagg gazed off across the landscape, as if wondering how much of a trail he had left. "You dropped 'recuperates' like a molting rooster drops feathers, Bart," averred the warden, jocosely. "That was my trail.
Well, I gets him back to the church just in time for the last curtain, so he can see what a stunner Mildred was in her canopy-top outfit. He's all right, Brother Bill is. Never gives me any call-down for shuntin' him off the way I did and makin' him miss most of the show. As I says to him afterward: "Bill," says I, "that was one on me. But we did throw the hook into Aunt Laura some! What?"
I was sorry and mad as Don when some of the fellows went too far. We had a call-down from our Captain and have been looking for a chance to apologize. Do try and forget it, won't you? If your Girl Scouts will swoop down on us unexpectedly and be double the nuisance that we were, we are willing to call it square." Sheila Mason laughed.
"I do refer to beer," said Miss Meiggs, in an iced voice. "Oh, no!" expostulated the Junior, spreading his hands, "they couldn't do it!" He looked at her frankly. "You get a head after too much beer," he went on, reckless as to pronouns and listening professors, "and you stay sober and work, for awhile, any way. In co-education you don't get any such call-down until the Committee meets."
"Over on the crick," answered Denver. "What have you got here, anyway? Is this that diamond drill?" "Never mind, now!" put in the guard who, anticipating a call-down for his negligence, was in a distinctly hostile mood, "you know danged well it is!" "Oh, I do, do I?" retorted Denver, "well, all right pardner, if you say so; but you don't need to call me a liar!"
"Might as well know your boss too, boy." Melissy flushed with a flash of temper. "I'm nothing of the kind, dad." "Sho! A joke's a joke, girl. That's twice hand-runnin' I get a call-down. You're mighty high-heeled to-day, 'pears like." Jack smiled grimly. He understood some things that were hidden from Lee.
Gee, but it used to hurt to take a "call-down" from a petty officer without having a chance to reply or even to show what we felt in our faces, and when he had said everything he could think of we had to touch our cap and say "Yes, Sir!" I assure you, very often we felt like saying something entirely different.
I think he's letting him go the pace until he gets him where he'll have to quit what he's doing. Then it's going to be up to Paul himself. If he doesn't make a man of himself, it'll be his own fault." "I think a good call-down is what he needs," answered Roy, "and the colonel ought to give it to him." "I reckon he thinks that isn't his business," commented Norman. "It's certainly not ours.
