He said he knew parts to fit any make-ups we'd find; an' after Locals found out what it was 'at Hammy had schemed out, he joined in enthusiastic, an' said that if the' had never been a part writ to fit 'em yet, he could do it on the spot, an' he wasn't swamped with business right then anyway. "Yes," I sez, "it's a great idee, an' we'll sure draw a mammoth crowd.
Well, Hammy read the book to us so natural that we all slept in one bed for company; but it cheered us a heap, an' we begun to feel rich, ourselves, an' talked about millions as easy an' natural as though we each had little holler islands of our own. Miller was about my size, so 'at all his clothes fit me like the skin on a potato.
It never occurred to him that the only way to have clean dishes was to wash dirty ones. Hammy and Locals, those freeborn sons of Independence, was glad an' proud to have the chance to wait on him; but I must confess that the day he sat by the fire with a pile of wood within reachin' distance, an' let the fire go out, I grew a trifle loquacious about it.
After a while they grew more resigned in their langwidge; but after we had driven down to town without finding him, Hammy sez, "In sooth 't is bitter truth that all the world's a stage; yet Fate, however cruel, never decreed that I should play the second season, as servile server to a worn out mine my health is all right again, an' I'm goin' back where a feller gets paid decent wages for makin' a fool of himself."
But Winocewus had to be tooked such care wof for fear of bweaking his horn an' Berta was such a little fing, vat vat " "That you wouldn't let her play with Rhinoceros. And you think it wasn't quite fair, or quite kind, and now you're sorry?" Hammy sniffed dolorously, and two large tears splashed down. "I'm sowwy.
I wouldn't exactly call 'em wise wordy'd come a sight nearer fittin' these local-color fellers without wrinklin'. The''s a ringin' in my ears yet from the time that I was penned up with Hammy an' Locals, an' this one had a good many o' the same outward an' visible signs, but more o' the inward an' spiritual grace, as Friar Tuck sez.
The plume of fair hair fell back, clearing the candid grey eyes as Hammy lifted up his face, confidently lisping: "I don't quite fink I know what wesults and wisks are, but I'd like to play wif the live men an' the big guns too sometimes ... if you didn't want vem always?" "We'll see about it, Hammy, when you're grown up." "Good-bye, Mister Colonel.
"It's real milk, Hammy, not condensed," the soft voice pleaded. He shook his head again, and knit his childish brows. "I saided it wasn't no use. My tummy just shuts." "I think I would not bother him any more just now," Saxham interposed, noting the droop of the piteous, flaccid mouth, and feeling the flutter of the uneven pulse. The Mayor's wife broke into helpless sobbing.
However, our youth and want of experience is in our favour, as they like to send men who have seen some service to outposts. But I fear that, with such brilliant characters as you and I, Hammy, youth will only be an additional recommendation, and inexperience won't last long. Hollo! what's going on yonder?"
"'Tention!" piped Hammy. "Hands, catch hold. Mouth, do your duty. And if Private Tummy disobeys, he'll have to take the consequences." "Please, what are ve confequences?" "Drink down the milk, and then I'll tell you." The gay little china cup was slowly emptied.
