The following morning, the first of a double holiday, came in bright and clear. Little Tim and his companion were early astir, and cooking a mess of oatmeal from the cabin's scanty stores over a cracked sheet iron stove. "There they come," cried Tim presently, as the sounds of fresh, boyish voices came from outside. "Hooray! I wish 'twas a yacht race, though. Wouldn't I go along?"
Then all of a sudden he heard an altogether different sort of noise more like a crash and a smash than a crack. "Glass!" that was it! "Hooray!" he shouted in delight, "now that Fatty's going to get it." But he was wrong. Fatty was too plump to hit a ball so hard. It was Dicky Means that had done it. And, like Fatty, he was always up to tricks, only usually Fatty planned them and Dicky did them.
After a little while we noticed that the light remained about the same; and then William Anderson he sings out, 'Hooray, we've stopped sinking! 'What difference does that make? says I. 'We must be thirty or forty feet under water, and more yet, for aught I know. 'Yes, that may be, said he; 'but it is clear that all the water has got into that compartment that can get in, and we have sunk just as far down as we are going. 'But that don't help matters, said I; 'thirty or forty feet under water is just as bad as a thousand as to drowning a man. 'Drowning! said William; 'how are you going to be drowned?
But Horace let out a whoop of joy. "Hooray! It's father and the boys," he cried so loud that instantly a dozen figures bounded from about the fire. "Well, if it ain't them kids!" ejaculated Pete, who had been on guard. "It's lucky you recognized my voice, Horace."
A sharp blow from the rake snapped the bough in two, and the line was again at liberty, the great fish being drawn to the side at the mouth of the pool, where the water was only a few inches deep, and landed amidst a burst of cheers from the delighted boys, while even Bob gave a loud "Hooray," though he seemed rather sorry than otherwise that the water should lose so fine a fish; but the "Hooray" was brought forth by the thoughts of a prospective shilling which Mr Inglis would most likely give him, and then perhaps he would have to carry the fish home as well, and get some bread and cheese and ale up at the house.
He shut his small hands and set his face against the wind; his bright hair streamed out behind. "Hooray, Ced Errol!" all the boys shouted, dancing and shrieking with excitement. "Hooray, Billy Williams! Hooray, Ceddie! Hooray, Billy! Hooray! 'Ray! 'Ray!" "I really believe he is going to win," said Mr. Havisham.
"Hello, Ros!" said Kendrick, still grinning, but rather sheepishly. "How be you? Got quite a band aboard, ain't I." "Hello!" cried Hallet. "It's Ros himself! Ros, you're all RIGHT! Hi, boys! let's give three cheers for the feller that don't toady to nobody millionaires nor nobody else hooray for Ros Paine!"
Jefferson wasn't much to look at, but he was pleasant and appeared boyish and young-feeling. "I do' know's I should do better," she said unconsciously and half aloud. "Well, yes, Jefferson, seein' it's you. But we're both on us kind of old to change our situation." Fanny Tobin gave a gentle sigh. "Hooray!" said Jefferson. "I was scairt you meant to keep me sufferin' here a half an hour.
Laying an affectionate and laughing touch on the boy's extended hand, as if it were at once his giddy head and his light heart, Mr. Jasper drinks the toast in silence. 'Hip, hip, hip, and nine times nine, and one to finish with, and all that, understood. Hooray, hooray, hooray! And now, Jack, let's have a little talk about Pussy. Two pairs of nut-crackers? Pass me one, and take the other. Crack.
"What!" cried Coggs, slipping off his bed and staring wildly: "you don't mean to say you're going to catch it too?" "I've ah every reason to fear," said Mr. Bultitude stiffly, "that I am indeed going to 'catch it, as you call it." "Hooray!" shouted Coggs hysterically: "I don't care now. And I'll have some revenge on my own account as well.
