They took their time about it and me lookin' for trouble every tick of the clock! But I got an O.

'This is a Ammunition Column, ain't it? Or d'you s'pose it's an Am. Col.'s bizness to go chasin' after bombardments an' shell-fire.

Toby smothered a laugh, but became serious under Sunny's contemptuous eye. "That's like you, Sandy," he cried. "It's sure like you.
