Jay, as she passed that factory every day, watched with interest the progress of the grey ghost rocking-horses, eyeless, maneless, and tailless, as they ripened hourly into a form more like that of the friend of youth. She smelt the little smell that is always astray in Mabel Place, she heard outside in the damp afternoon two rival barrow-men howling a cry that sounded like "One pound hoo-ray!"
But, as they beheld the guide deposit his burden, with its helplessly trailing head and limbs, a cheer in unsteady tones rang above the slackening rattle of earth and stones, and the far-away boom of the granite-block as it buried itself in the forest beneath. "Hurrah! for you, Herb, old boy," yelled Cyrus triumphantly. "That was the grittiest thing I ever saw done' Hurrah! Hurrah! Hoo-ray!"
They all looked around the room, but of course did not see her. "In what part of the room is she?" was the Wizard's next question. "In Button-Bright's pocket," said the little Pink Bear. This reply amazed them all, you may be sure, and although the three girls smiled and Scraps yelled "Hoo-ray!" in derision, the Wizard turned to consider the matter with grave thoughtfulness.
George took his screw by the head, and, giving him a hearty rib-roasting with his whip, ran him full tilt at the palings, and carried away half a rood. 'Hoo-ray! cried the liberated field. 'I knew how it would be, exclaimed Mr. Watchorn, in well-feigned disgust as he rode through the gap; adding, 'con-founded young waggabone!
A line of day-boys, who had linked arms as, homeward bound, they left the field, droned merrily: "Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky." And among the dissolving cheers from the distance could occasionally be heard the refrain of "Hoo-Ray, hoo-Ray, hoo-blooming-Ray!"
'Hoo-ray! hoo-ray! hoo-ray! shouted a group of flannel-clad navvies. 'Three for white jacket! then roared a blue-coated butcher, who had won as many half-crowns on the race. Three cheers were given for the unwilling winner.
He mocked the speakers, and called them "kids," and wanted to know how they could tell the Tariff from a sunstroke, anyhow. "We've got to have free trade," he mocked. "Pa, listen to the kids! 'In the interests of the American laborer. Hoo-ray! Listen to the kids, pa!" Flesh and blood could not bear this.
And all, including the men, joined in: "Hip hip hoo-ray!" the noise of which didn't bother the moths in the least as they kept on fluttering toward the light and disappearing into the trap. "Say, fellows, I have the idea we " "Jiminy!" interrupted Jiminy Gordon. "Romper's got an idea first he ever had in his life.
No, my beloved and respected feller-citizen of native birth, it's as plain to me as the wheels of 'Zek'el and the year 1843. I say, Hip, hip, hoo-ray fer liberty or death, and down with the Dutch!" Norman Anderson scratched his head. What did Jonas mean? He couldn't exactly divine; but it is safe to say that on the whole he was not entirely satisfied with this boomerang speech.
'So there is! roared another; 'Hoo-ray! 'Hoo-ray! yelled two or three more. 'Stop him! cried another. 'Call him in, roared Sir Harry, 'and let's liquor him. 'Hilloo! Mister What's-your-name! exclaimed the other Spangles, throwing up the window. 'Hilloo, won't you come in and have some refreshment? 'Who's there? asked Mr. Sponge, reining in the brown.
