"She came out of there, third door above. I get most of my fares from there." "Oh," says I, steppin' out for a squint. "Looks like a private house." "It's private, all right," says he, "but it's a home for dippy ones. You know," and he taps his head. "She's a sample. I've had her before. They slip out now and then. Last night she made her getaway through the basement door.
As she was going out of the room, Jim Bowles and Julius Steinberger appeared at the door. "May we come in?" Jim asked eagerly. "We're invited to the oyster stew, and it's time old T. T. was here. Julius and me are just getting dippy waiting up-stairs to hear if he's made good with Galton." "Well, now, you sit down and be quiet a bit, or you'll be losing your appetites," advised Ann.
Babe stopped in the doorway and spoke heavily. "You're short on sense, Sheila," she said. "You're kind of dippy ... going out to look at the stars and drawing pictures of that Hidden Creek trash. But you'll learn better, maybe." "Wait a minute, Babe!" Sheila was sober again and not unpenitent. "I'm coming down with you. I want to tell your father that Dickie was sweet to me.
But if we agree to forgive Germany after the war, I shall think that the world has gone mad." Billy Sunday, a sort of howling dervish, sprung from heaven knows where, brays to huge crowds a militarist gospel. A cartoon of Boardman Robinson's shows Billy Sunday arrayed as a recruiting sergeant, dragging Christ by a halter and shouting: "I got him! He's plumb dippy over going to war."
The boy's astonishment was greatly increased when next Slippery introduced the "ladies". The one who so cautiously opened the door for their entrance was honored by the name of "Dippy Marie"; the second on account of the color of her hair was known as "Red Annie"; while a third was titled "Noisy Jane", and the last, the youngest and best looking one of them, went by the nickname of "Babe".
And lately you're surely tragic enough." "I wish you'd go somewhere far off!" observed a third. "My husband is dippy about you." "Girls, do you know that you actually have not one sensible idea in your heads?" retorted Carley. "Sensible? I should hope not. Who wants to be sensible?" Geralda battered her teacup on a saucer. "Listen," she called. "I wasn't kidding Carley. I am good and sore.
"Oh, I know the corporal's dippy about the Pilot," said Sergeant Mackay. "Yes, and the officers, too," said the pioneer sergeant. "There's Captain Duff. Well, you know what a holy terror he is." "He's all right," said Sergeant Mackay stoutly. "He was my chief for about a month here, and he was the first one to get this transport licked into shape, you bet."
"What?" asked Saxon. "That." The man pointed to the wound in Billy's scalp. "I laid 'm out. He went down like a steer, an' got up on his knees dippy, a-gabblin' about somebody standin' on their foot. He didn't know where he was at, you see, clean groggy. An' then we done it." The man paused, the tale told. "Broke both his arms with the crowbar," Bud supplemented.
"I don't suppose Dippy and Tippy will get the whooping-cough if I play with them," she remarked to Heppy, feeling that if these playmates failed her she would be desolate indeed. Heppy laughed. "They're not likely to," she said, "though I have known plenty of cats to have coughs, and I have known of their having pneumony, but I guess you can risk it."
He was cracked about New Zealand; dippy, 'pon my soul. When I asked to see the manager of the affair, you know, the Skipper, they showed me an underbred brass-bound official called a Purser, who said he'd put me in irons if I wasn't civil. Oh, this world has some bounders in it, Charley, my boy. What do you get here, Charley? Pretty good screw, I suppose? And so he ran on.
