This 'ere lady 's a-goin' ter take us ter her shebang ter stay mos' two weeks. Gee-whiz! Bones, ain't this great!" And with one bound he was off the platform and turning a series of somersaults on the soft grass followed by the skinny, mangy dog which was barking itself nearly wild with joy.
"Wal, she don't go very fast at first, 'cos she's heavy an' they ain't none too much water in front; but after a while we comes to the Devil's Slide, you remember the place, an' we scoots down there like the mill-tails o' hell. "'Gee-whiz! says Jud. 'She's a-rockin' like a teeter.
He oversold the market, and that was his mistake. As soon as the King of Gee-Whiz found that there was abundance of soap he lost his fawncy for bubbles. The shock of this lost opportunity prostrated Sir Isaac, and he presently passed away. We mourned him for a time, but presently other events occurred which deadened the loss.
You and that Gee-Whiz friend of yours ought to turn yourselves into a symposium and write for the papers. Now look here. Have you got a copy of the 'Proud Earl's Revenge, in your pocket?" Willie tremulously felt in his clothing, and did produce a dog-eared volume to somewhat that effect. Tom Osby turned over a few of the pages thoughtfully, and then sat up with a happy smile.
"Won't your cousins from Petteridge ever come over to see you, Di?" asked Magsie. "Perhaps they may, sometime," replied Diana thoughtfully. "I should say it's quite within the bounds of possibility, considering they only live ten miles away." "Gee-whiz! I guess I'd just admire to make their acquaintance!" mocked Vi. "I reckon they'll be some folks!"
I say to you, positively and truthfully, that then and there the island of Gee-Whiz was inhabited by the maddest population ever known in any possession of her Britannic Majesty." "Reckon they was a pretty lively bunch to hold," suggested Curly; "but what happened next?" "I am not quite clear as to all that transpired awfter that. I know that I was the only sane man left on the island."
The urchin caught the hat deftly on the back of his head, and pranced up to Ann with his hands in his pockets. "Gee-whiz! marm but I thought you'd flunked fur sure. I reckoned me an' Bones was barkin' up the wrong tree this time. It looked as if we'd come to a jumpin'-off place, an' you'd given us the slip. I'm Bob, myself, ye see, an' I've come all right!" "Are you Robert Sawyer?" she gasped.
"You will easily understand," resumed the speaker, "that when the King of Gee-Whiz had chopped into the rubber tree with his little gold axe, drinking awfterwards a cupful of pure caoutchouc, it did not take him long to repent of his inadvertence. The results were what I may call most extraordinary. I should judge the rubber juice to have been of very high proof indeed.
"Nor me neither," said Billy Hudgens, sighing, "and I've kept bar from Butte to El Paso." "Then what happened?" demanded Curly. "Everything that could happen," said the other, bitterly. "Lady Sophie and her maid, Sir Harry and the princess the entire household suite of the King of Gee-Whiz were mad enough to taste also of the juice of this rubber tree. It had the same effect upon them!
All I can say is that in course of time we descended, and that we found ourselves on solid ground, on the island of Gee-Whiz. That, you will understand, was an uncharted and hitherto undiscovered land, lying near the 400th parallel west of London and somewhere below Sumatra several weeks' march from Calcutta, I should say.
