"I like never to 'a' got off, and a million spines are stickin' into me." Bob whooped. "Look who's among us. If it ain't our old friend Ad Miller, the human pincushion. Seein' as he drapped in, we'll collect him right now and find out if the sheriff ain't lookin' for him to take a trip on the choo-choo cars." The fat convict looked to Doble in vain for help.
About five minutes before the hour of roll-call juniors from the day-room and the farther studies would begin to collect round the hot pipes in the passage, fearful of being late. Then in No. 1 Lovelace would wind up the gramophone, and the strains of When the Midnight Choo-choo leaves for Alabama broke out with deafening violence.
They had ridden full five miles, and still the marmot village stretched before them! still the dogs on all sides uttered their "Choo-choo" still the owls flapped silently up, and the rattle-snakes crawled across their track. It was near sun-down when they emerged from among the hillocks, and commenced stepping out on the hard, barren plain.
"Nice place, this," said he, with a nauseating smirk. "So close to Lake Worth eh? Only two days' ride on the choo-choo, if you make connections, and when changing take the right trains." I pretended not to see him, and began to whistle the intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana," to show how little I cared. "Good plan, old chap," said he; "but it won't work.
All was nearly ready for the start on their journey down the east side of the Sacramentos, when they heard afar a faint and wheezy squeak, the whistle of a railway train climbing up the opposite slope. "There's the choo-choo cars," said Tom, "comin' a-rarin' and a-pitchin'. The ingine has to side-step and back-track about eight times to get up the grade.
But after the rest of us were safe and warm and well fed aboard the mother ship, the increasing winds came bowling over the increasing seas, and the crew of the sub had to wait. At intervals we could hear them emitting beseeching, doleful, disgusted moans and shrieks and howls from her air-whistle. But it was too rough for any little choo-choo boat to be battling around.
Jane laughed and pushed the big girl ahead of her with sudden playful force. "Choo-choo! the fire is out and we're going home," she laughed. "This is just about the speed of the little red hose cart." "Wait a minute!" called Judith, halting so suddenly she almost threw Jane. "I would rather be the driver if you don't mind."
"I knows jest where's she tied. It's a few miles from heah, but in dat choo-choo boat yo' all kin soon be dere." Leaving his own boat on shore the colored man got into the motor boat with the others. The rowboat from the steamer was towed, and in it were left the rugs, blankets, moving picture camera and other things.
I am all at your will: if you want to, we start off for Odessa; if you want to abroad. Finish it up as soon as possible! ..." "Soon, soon..." "You just wink at me, and I'm all ready ... with powders, with instruments, with passports ... And then choo-choo! The machine is off! Tamarochka! My angel! ... My precious, my sparkler! ..."
At another table Mr Everett Tweeler and Mrs Tweeler were alternately scolding and stuffing Master Irving Tweeler, who expressed in impassioned tones a desire for tarts. "Ur r ving!" remonstrated Mr Tweeler. "Dahling!" argued Mrs Tweeler. "If oo eats too many 'ittle cakies then oo tant go home to Salem on the puffy, puffy choo-choo boat." Old Sir Griffin Damby overheard and snorted.
