"What do you mean fossils and Stego whatever it is?" he asked. "She was a girl, a wonder girl a real girl, and Irish, or I'm not an O'Keefe!"

Shorty was tugging gently at his sleeve. "Posmo's beat it, Pan." "To hell with him! Beat it yourself if you feel like it."

"I'll tell ye naught," said he. "Go see for yourselves, by leave of Louis." "Come now," said Pembroke, conciliatingly. "We'll all admit our ignorance.
