Both boys sprang up and cheered him in their enthusiasm, to which the showman responded by taking off his hat, while the band struck up "Yankee Doodle." It was a glorious moment for the Circus Boys, and they were even more surprised and gratified by what followed a few moments later. While the band played, the clown wagon came to a halt and the whole body of funny men sang a song in front of Mrs.
Didn't they spread the report that Miriam danced with one to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" in the State House garden? What will they stop at now? O! if I was only a man, and knew what to do! Night. We were so distressed by the false position in which we would be placed by a Federal sentinel, that we did not know what course to pursue.
"I sca'cely blame them, she observed; 'I'd be ve'y glad myse'f to hear less of Yankee Doodle and the Star-spangled Banner. When they let President Davis alone, and when Curt comes home, I've got some ve'y pretty songs fo' him to learn to appreciate. "She's down stairs now, seated at the piano, singing very softly to herself some gaily impudent rebel song or other.
They had drank many glasses of cider together, and had played "Yankee Doodle," and "The Campbells are coming," and "Saint Patrick's Day in the Morning," on many occasions. "We shall expect some resolutions and a speech from you," he said to Squire Capias. Thus he laid out the work, and entered upon it with so much zeal, that all hands caught the spirit of his enthusiasm.
"We are very well," answered Lulu and Alice, and Lulu went on: "Don't you wish you could swim, Mr. Doodle?" "I can," said the rooster, and he strutted back and forth at the edge of the pond. "Certainly I can swim. What put the notion into your heads that I can't?" "We never saw you," spoke Jimmie. "Ahem! Perhaps not.
Our band replied with "Yankee Doodle," and as we moved toward port there was more noise on board than I had ever heard in any battle on the Plains. When the landing was made the members of the party were sent in special coaches to London. Crowds stared at us from every station.
"Off at last!" shouted Billy Barnes, from his seat on the top of the piled up cabin roof, as the shores of Galveston rapidly receded and finally became a mere blot. "If we don't have some dandy adventures before we get back call me a doodle bug." All that day and the next the Bolo forged steadily onward over the purple waters of the Gulf.
'Because, I expect, says I, 'any fool could see that as well as me; and then I stared at him, as much as to say, 'Now if you like that 'ere swap, I am ready to trade with you agin as soon as you like. Well, he turned right round on his heel and walked off, a-whistlin' Yankee Doodle to himself. He looked jist like a man that finds whistlin' a plaguy sight easier than thinkin'.
On the ground Lulu and Alice were running here and there, flapping their wings and quacking, and Billie and Johnnie Bushytail were chattering, and as for Sammie Littletail, he made a noise just like a rabbit. Oh, there was great excitement, I can tell you! Mr. Cock A. Doodle, the rooster, he came running out, and he crowed as loud as ever he could crow, as if that could do any good.
This morning we shot some of these, and found them an agreeable addition to our dinner bill of fare. The afternoon has been passed among the greater part of the miners here as a celebration of the anniversary of American Independence. Something like an out-door feast was got up, and toasts were drunk and songs sang; "Yankee Doodle," and the "Star-spangled Banner," being the chief favourites.
