Men came tramping up the screaking outside stairs that conducted to the office; the Squire had a room over Ward's general store. The men were led into the office by Isaac Jones "Gid-dap Ike," he was named the driver of the mail stage between Egypt and the railroad at Levant. For a moment Squire Hexter looked really alarmed.
"We're hitched up and ready to say 'gid-dap, but we came back to see how Letty's getting along," the former explained. 'Poleon shook his head doubtfully; his face was grave. "She's bad seeck." "Does she know about old Sam?" "She ain't know not'in'. She's crazee altogether. Poor li'l gal, she's jus' lak baby. I'm scare' as hell."
But he could not do this, and so he just had to stand there and take what came. "Gid-dap, there! Gid-dap!" cried Tad, banging his heels against the sides of the White Rocking Horse. Now, as I have told you, when the Horse was made to rock back and forth he traveled along, just as sometimes a rocking chair moves across the room.
"Gid-dap, pony!" cried Baby William, trotting along on his short, fat legs, making-believe, as he often did, that he was riding horseback. "Gid-dap! I lasso a rooster, I did!" "Yes, and you'll kill the poor thing if you're not careful," panted Aunt Millie, as she raced after the little fellow and caught him.
"Now I'm all ready, an' so's my doll," said Vi, as she climbed up in one of the chairs behind the big, empty flour barrel that Mother Bunker had let Russ take to make his boat. "Gid-dap, Russ!" "Gid-dap? What you mean?" asked Russ, stopping his whistling and turning to look at his sister. "I mean start," answered Vi. "Don't you know what gid-dap means?" "Sure I know! It's how you talk to a horse.
A young lady clerk, who worked In the toy department, came along just then. "Please do not be so rough on the Horse, little boy," she said in a gentle voice. "I'm going to have this Horse!" shouted the rude boy, as he rocked to and fro. "I'm going to make my mother buy him for me for Christmas. Go 'long! Gid-dap!"
Think of my darling child being crushed into jelly by those great wheels!" "Gid-dap!" said the Wizard sharply, and the Sawhorse started on. They had not gone far before a man ran out of a house shouting wildly, "Help! Help!" The Sawhorse stopped short and the Wizard and Uncle Henry and the Shaggy Man and Omby Amby jumped out of the wagon and ran to the poor man's assistance.
Tasper Britt rushed out from Files's tavern and stood on the porch. He had one of the papers in his hand. He ripped the paper to tatters and strewed about him the bits and stamped on the litter. He shrieked profanity. Then he leaped off the porch. In the tavern yard was "Gid-dap" Jones's stage pung. Britt yanked the big whip from its socket and bounced across the street, untangling the lash.
Dick drew his horse out into the middle of the tent. Of course if the Rocking Horse had been there alone he could have trotted out by himself. But, as it was, Dick had to drag him. Then Dick climbed on the back of his white steed, took hold of the reins, and cried: "Gid-dap!"
"There's a pair right behind you," said Bob Guess. Nan turned and saw her father just finishing the strapping up of Flossie and Freddie each on a big wooden lion. The small twins were smiling with delight. "Gid-dap!" called Flossie to her lion. "You shouldn't say 'gid-dap' to a lion," objected Freddie. "What should you say?" asked Flossie, turning to look at her brother.
