It was now Queen Ann's turn to attack, so the Generals yelled "For ward march!" and the Colonels and Majors and Captains repeated the command and the valiant Army of Oogaboo, which seemed to be composed mainly of Tik-Tok, marched forward in single column toward the nomes, while Betsy and Polychrome cheered and Hank gave a loud "Hee-haw!" and Shaggy shouted "Hooray!" and Queen Ann screamed: "At 'em, Tik-Tok at 'em!"
The waves tossed the little raft here and there as a child tosses a rubber ball and Betsy had a solemn feeling that for hundreds of watery miles in every direction there was no living thing besides herself and the small donkey. Perhaps Hank had the same thought, for he gently rubbed his nose against the frightened girl and said "Hee-haw!" in his softest voice, as if to comfort her.
"And now, farewell, my worthy ass! You have been thinking me one through a fair half of this my letter, so I hasten to be in advance of you, by calling you one. You are one: I likewise am one. We are all one. The universal language is hee-haw, done in a grievous yawn. "Yours, "Edward B.
"I was just putting him back in his shed when he cried, 'Hee-haw, and let fly with both hind feet at once and one of them just grazed my head, and broke the dish." Doña Teresa sat down heavily with her hand on her heart. "If anything had happened to you, my rose, my angel," she said, "I should have died of sorrow! Tonto is indeed a very careless beast.

Oh, if they had but been wiser! But instead of sighs and lamentations they could only bray like asses; and they brayed loudly and said in chorus: "Hee-haw!" Whilst this was going on some one knocked at the door and a voice on the outside said: "Open the door! I am the little man, I am the coachman who brought you to this country. Open at once, or it will be the worse for you!"
With her red cheeks and bright eyes she looked like a rooster. "What'll I be?" Lottie asked everybody, and she sat there smiling, waiting for them to decide for her. It had to be an easy one. "Be a donkey, Lottie." It was Kezia's suggestion. "Hee-haw! You can't forget that." "Hee-haw!" said Lottie solemnly. "When do I have to say it?" "I'll explain, I'll explain," said the bull.
"Do hee-haw in the House of Commons, Heavyside," says the young man with a languid air. "That's your place: you're returned for it." I hate the shop out of shop hours." "Dash the little puppy," growls Sir de Boots, swelling in his waistband. "What do they say about the Russians in the City?" says Horace Fogey, who has been in the diplomatic service. "Has the fleet left Cronstadt, or has it not?"

The others made signs to Lottie and pointed. Lottie turned very red; she looked bewildered, and at last she said, "Hee-haw! Ke-zia." "Ss! Wait a minute!" They were in the very thick of it when the bull stopped them, holding up his hand. "What's that? What's that noise?" "What noise? What do you mean?" asked the rooster. "Ss! Shut up! Listen!" They were mouse-still.
