"Say, that's the queerest part of it all," answered the fat boy; "the silly gump gave the whole business away himself went and left a note behind him telling that he was the guilty villain, and that they needn't ever expect to see him again, because he had lit out for Chicago."
Jack Pumpkinhead's a dear old chum who might be called a chump, But won renown by riding round upon a magic Gump; The Sawhorse is a splendid steed and though he's made of wood He does as many thrilling stunts as any meat horse could.
Just, not far from Cape Cornwall and the sea, is a small hill, or a very large mound would, perhaps, be the truer description, called 'The Gump, where the Small People used to hold their revels, and where our grandfathers and grandmothers used to be allowed to stand and look on and listen.
I looked at it and hesitated for a moment. Was it worth beating a child for? The little beady eyes were gazing at me in an agony of supplication. "Gump," I said, "don't beat him. That's all right. I want him to have the whip." Gump stared at me in astonishment. "What, Mas' Tom," he exclaimed, "you mean dat you gib him de whip?"
Didn't you tell that what's-his-name boy you got them from your mother?" Elsie colored. "I loathed that gump," she said. Miss Pritchard did not press the matter, though she wished very much Elsie had explained or made other amends. "Oh, Cousin Julia, how perfectly gorgeous!" cried Elsie, "but oh, I don't need it, and oh, please take it back.
I think it was all some trick of the Witch to confuse us. Planes simply cannot exist in Oz. Transportation is either by foot or via some magical contrivance such as the animated Gump or the famous Red Wagon." "Well, I hate to disappoint you," replied Graham, waving the bundle of letters, photographs, and drawings in his hand.
"Come in," he said, with the testiness that in him was cordiality concentrated. "Come in. Don't stand there like a gump stretching my bell- wire all out of shape. Come in. Come in." Blake entered. "Well," said the doctor, leading the way into his office. "What's the matter now. Sick? You don't look it. If all my patients were like you and the Schuylers, I'd starve to death."
I couldn't make her see that the more scared she was, the braver she was. It wouldn't have been brave in that gump, Edith, without a nerve in her body. But why is she down on Edith? I suppose she's a nuisance to a person with a wonderful mind like Eleanor's. Talks too much. I'll tell her to dry up when she's with Eleanor." And again he heard that strange voice: "You like to talk to a child."
Worthington to her friend, as the two crossed over the street. “A feller without any more feelings than a stick; it’s what I always said about him.” “Oh, I always did like Hosmer,” replied Mrs. Dawson. “But I thought he had more sense than to tie himself to that little gump again, after he’d had the luck to get rid of her.” A few days later Jack came home.
I guess the jig's all up with me, boys," said the man, with a look of sheer disgust on his face. "I've had a little run for my money, but the stone jug seems to be yawning for me. I was a fool to bother with the kid, it seems; but when the scheme came to me at first I thought it too fine to drop. Here's where I get paid for being a silly gump. What do you want me to do, boys?
