They turned over the King of Gee-Whiz gently, that he might rest more easily, where he lay. His coat and waistcoat fell open. Underneath them, upon the left side of his chest, appeared a small, dull-colored cross of metal. "For Valor"; Curly read the inscription with difficulty. "I knowed it; I knowed he'd been a cow puncher sometime, and just went wrong."
He'd follow me like a look! look! there he is now. See!" He raised a trembling finger and pointed to a spot in front of the open door. A black shadow was cast upon the floor by the strong sunlight which shone upon the figure of a leaning spectator. "Look!" cried the King of Gee-Whiz. "He's there! He's there!" He slipped and sank to the floor, rolling over into an utter insensibility.
Just then the King of Gee-Whiz came by, and chawnced to notice the bubbles. You should have seen his expression! "You must remember he'd never seen a bit of soap in all his life; and no one who has been without it like the King and myself can tell what that means. He was deucedly infatuated with the bubbles.
Diana's mind galloped rapidly back to a day in late September when she had crawled along a tree-trunk across a racing torrent, with a frightened, blue-jerseyed atom of humanity creeping behind her. "Gee-whiz! I guess you're Harry!" she exclaimed heartily. The mental thermometer of the kitchen, which had stood at about freezing-point, suddenly thawed into spring.
Your Gee-Whiz man can maybe take to cow punchin' and prosper, but not Willie. His long suit is imaginin' things, from now on. "Now, that feller is naturally pinin' to write this here particular letter we've got on our minds. You watch Willie compose." "Here you, Willie, come over here!" Curly called out. The herder started in fright.

I told him sure it was, but it was too easy and that all the scouts were honest anyway, even without badges. Then I said, "If you wore that on account of being honest, that would insult all the other fellows, wouldn't it?" He just stared at me, but didn't say anything.
"It was thus, gentlemen, that I acquired, by right, as I think, my title which I assumed awfter acting for a time as Viceroy for her Britannic Majesty as the King of Gee-Whiz.

It was shortly awfter that I received my decoration I beg your pardon."
Followed a week of dullness at the ranch, with the Countess scrubbing and dusting and cleaning from morning till night. The Little Doctor, as the bunk house had christened her, was away attending the State Medical Examination at Helena. "Gee-whiz!" sighed Cal on Sunday afternoon.
I feel almost as if I were a Navy officer myself, and I mean to make the most of the sensation. Say, Hal, wouldn't it be fine if we really did belong to the Navy?" "Gee-whiz!" murmured young Hastings, his cheeks glowing and his eyes snapping.
