Eddie Blaney gently helped Sara to alight, cupping the point of her elbow in his hand; and they stood huddled for a moment by the roadway while the car whizzed past, leaving them in the yellow and ocher, saffron and crimson countryside. "Gee! Gee-whiz!" "See! I told you.
"Gee-whiz," was all that was audible of the amazed fireman's reply as the big engine whizzed off. Frank's assertion called for some explanation to the crowd of bystanders, and after he had given an account of their trip most of the crowd that had got out of bed at the summons of the fire-bell accompanied them to the meadow where the old watchman was still eyeing the Golden Eagle with suspicion.
"Forget! forget " and Jane was outside the door with a sweeping wave of her big fuzzy towel and a rather alarming thrust of her fist full of soap. "Ye-eah," groaned Judith, "forget is the word, Sanzie and tennis." She glanced at the tiny clock on a shelf of the bracket type. It was Jane's idea the clock should not be cluttered with surroundings. "Gee-whiz! It is late, and this the first day.
"I wouldn't kid too much, friend," said Curly, warningly. "I beg pardon?" "Drop the foolishness!" "You misunderstand me, I'm sure," said the King of Gee-Whiz. "At that time it was quite customary, indeed very fashionable, for young gentlemen to belong both to the Army and the Navy. Now, I remember with perfect distinctness that I shipped before the mast on her Majesty's submarine, the Equator."
It seemed a gruelling hard thing to us to sail just on the opening of the shooting season, but the wuzzies were troubling a bit. "One day, as Sir Harry and I were sitting on deck before the mast, having a cigarette " "At the bottom of the sea on deck!" gasped Uncle Jim Brothers. "Pray don't interrupt me, or I'll never get on," chided the King of Gee-Whiz, politely.
"You may have more trouble than you're lookin' for. What's your name?" "I really forget my first name," replied the prisoner, blandly, but not discourteously. "Of late I have been customarily addressed as the King of Gee-Whiz." "Well, King," suggested the acting foreman, grimly, "you'd better turn loose and tell us your story, about as soon as you know how."
"Hunting for what?" "Do you think we're looking for a forty story skyscraper?" demanded Tommy. Again Antoine glanced sharply at the boy, but seemed determined not to give the slightest attention to his irrelevant observation. "Who sent you here?" he asked of Will. "Gee-whiz!" exclaimed Tommy angrily. "Is this the third degree?"
'I say, said Sir Harry, 'this is a great go, isn't it? Here I am with no luggage whatever except one bar of soap! "Presently I saw approaching a band of natives, headed by a large person, who was apparently their leader or king." "Then that was the real King of Gee-Whiz?" asked Doc Tomlinson. "At that time, but not permanently, as I shall presently show you."
"You will understand that the King of Gee-Whiz was a deucedly good sort. He'd take a nip now and again, of course. The only thing he had to drink was palm wine, which he got by chopping a notch in a tree and catching the juice in a cup." "That sounds like wood alcohol," said Billy Hudgens, in a professional tone of voice. "It ain't safe." "Quite right. It wasn't safe.
"S'posin' I shoot Willie up just for luck," suggested Curly. "He's got it comin' to him, from the way that Gee-Whiz friend of his throwed lead into our fellers, time we was arguin' with them over them sheep. This country ain't got no use for sheep, nor sheepherders either, specially the kind that makes trouble with railroads, and girls." "No, hold on a minute," interrupted Tom Osby.
