This look changed his purpose, and he paused. "Listen to me now," continued the doctor, observing his irresolution. "You think you know what life is; but you d-d-don't! Do you know what g-g-great cities are? Do you know what it is to m-m-mix with crowds of men, to feel and perhaps to sway their p-p-passions? Do you know what it is to p-p-possess and to spend that money which you d-d-despise?
Are you c-c-crazy? Why do you d-d-decline my offer?" "Because I have no wish to leave my home and work." Although his answer was addressed to the man, his eyes were directed to the woman. His reply, simple and natural enough, astounded the quack. "What!" he exclaimed. "Do you mean that you p-p-prefer to stay in this p-p-pigstye of a town to becoming a citizen of the g-g-great world?" "I do."
"But there isn't anything q-q-queer about this, Steve," protested Toby. "All of you know I've been a g-g-great h-h-hand to make m-m-machinery take the place of h-h-hand power. What's the need of our s-s-staying awake p-p-part of the night, even, if by cudgeling our brains we c-c-could think up some g-g-good s-s-scheme that would answer the same purpose?"
"S-s-say, wouldn't that j-j-just be g-g-great," said Toby. "Well, the traps are set and it's been pretty nigh a morning's work, because there's so much to do about trapping a smart fox. But, boys, let's hope that to-morrow or some other day it'll all be paid back, and I'll be able to show you what a beautiful skin the black fox sports."
"You bet we have," panted Bandy-legs, as he set his burden down. "G-g-great s-s-sport," remarked Toby, following. "Glad you like it," laughed Max, "because we expect to do a heap of wading while we're up here." "D-d-did you open the others?" "We sure did," chuckled Steve. "F-f-find anything in 'em?" "Did we?
How about the old farm life now? Do you want to return to the p-p-plow-tail? Would you rather milk the b-b-brindle cow than the b-b-bedeviled people? This has been a g-g-great night, and I must go and finish it in the c-c-cabin of the Mary Ann with the captain, his mate and the judge. They will know how to appreciate it! Such a t-t-triumph must not be allowed to p-p-pass without a celebration."
