And I ought to be ashamed of myself for ever distrusting Purt," said the invalid vigorously.
His wide mouth opened with a grin of pleasure; he came forward with gangling strides. "By crackey, if it isn't the Arlingtons! Home from Virginia, Evaleen, to old Marietta, on a visit to the folks? You're looking peart. How do you all do?"
"Oh, crackey!" groaned Ephraim Gallup. "It's all over naow!" "Yah, it vos all ofer," nodded Hans. "A home run vill knock me. Der game vos seddled." It is probable that almost every one expected to see Hans strike out. After making two strikes, the Dutchman secured a clean single, on which Diamond and Gallup scored.

"An' knives in their mouths," Marmaduke suggested. "But that's not the best thing," Jehosophat went on, "they'll have a flag with a skull an' dead men's bones painted on it." "Crackey!" exclaimed his brother, just like the big boys. It was a fine word, too, but only to be used on special occasions.
