"Hope we don't run into no ships." He winked at Tim, the weakling hatter, who took the cue and mourned: "I'm kinda afraid we're going to, ain't you, Pete? The mate was telling me he was scared we would." "Sures' t'ing you know. Hey, Wrennie, wait till youse have to beat it down-stairs and tie up a bull in a storm. Hully gee! Youse'll last quick on de game, Birdie!"
Something in his blunt straightforward way appealed to me and I determined to try him. Handled right I imagined he would be a good man; handled wrong, he would probably become a bright and shining light of the genus hobo. So I hired him, telling him his salary would be forty dollars per month. "Hully gee!" he exclaimed, "forty plunks a month! Well say!
I cross m' heart thousan' times!" he protested, and at the moment his eyes were large with amazement, his mouth wrinkled in unnatural glee. "Yessir! A nightshirt! A hully white nightshirt!" "You lie!" "No, sir! I hope ter die b'fore I kin git anudder ball if there wasn't a jay wid a hully, bloomin' white nightshirt!" His face was filled with the infinite wonder of it.
As Tembarom had known few persons who had ever been out of America, he had not heard that England was beautiful, and he saw nothing which led him to suspect its charms. London had impressed him as gloomy, dirty, and behind the times despite its pretensions; the country struck him as "the limit." Hully gee! was he going to be expected to spend his life in this!
He turned to Ringtail with an easy, aristocratic smile: "Au revoir, R.T.! Those frawgs were most delicious!" "Hully gee!" breathed Pete, and disappeared through the dusk of the outer world. Now, in the eighty-thousand-dollar cottage black sorrow reigned throughout the night. There were tears and linguistic prayers.
"My own life has been very sad. It has been blighted forever, several times. Is she pretty? I haven't seen her, myself, and the reports of the men-folks and the young ladies don't tally. Funny thing, but scientific observation shows that when a girl says another girl is fine-looking Hully Gee! And vice versa. Eh? What say?" "Didn't say anything. You probably overheard me thinking.
"Well, just when things are like this..." "Like what?" "Like I said." "All right." "Who should turn up and thwart the whole scheme, but this Signorina Tarara in her domino..." "Hully Gee!" I said, "you make my head ache. What the deuce does she come in her domino for?" "Why, to thwart it." "To thwart what?" "Thwart the whole darned thing," Sinclair exclaimed emphatically.
I says to her, says I, 'Sally, says I, 'if you'll give yourself hully and whully to the Lord for one week, I'll give you a hounce of baccy, and she's that wicked, she actilly would not." Is this the sort of thing I have come to hear? I rise up hastily, and take my leave.
So he just sat there, quivering, bleeding, battered but a conqueror. Ringtail Pete endeavored to express himself, but emotion choked him; therefore he spat fervidly and said: "Hully gee!" Then he and the ladies descended from the roof, to walk in silent circles around the champion, regarding him with a species of cataleptic awe.
"Hully Gee!" commented Shorty, balancing a drum with care on the end of it, "I'm thinkin' he ain't far out. Looks's ef de hull shop'd come along." It did when it was all in place. A trumpet and a gun that had made vain and perilous efforts to join the bat in the stocking leaned against the bed in expectant attitudes.
