"Here's a glass, dear; how do you think you succeeded?" "Jiminy! I didn't get much of a sweep on that, did I now? But don't you fret, I've got the lay of it now, and I'll just polish her off red-hot to-morrer, 'n don't you forgit it!"
S'pose it'd take more'n a month's pay to git a feller out thar on the kiars, an' then about three months' pay to git to stay a week. Reckon that's jes' a little too rich for Kit's blood. But, jiminy! Wouldn't I like to have a good, big, fat bank roll an' go thar!" Here was a crisis suddenly come in Kit's life, although he did not then realize it.
As the boys came nearer to the little clearing, and as the sight of the feast must in a moment burst upon their eyes, the girls scampered to hide behind trees to watch the astonished faces. Nor were they disappointed. In a moment more the boys came in sight of the luncheon and stopped suddenly. "By gum!" "Well, what do you know about that!" "Jiminy crickets!" "Ah there, my size!"
But Nat only laughed. "Jiminy Christmas, it was great!" He had thrown back his head, laughing. That was Nat all through sipping of life generously, no matter in what form. He had stayed just three weeks. He had spent them chiefly defeating Maw's plans to keep him. Wanderlust kept him longer the next time. That was eight years ago. Since then he had been back home three times.
I could have another bill right away if I wanted it, and anyway, I'd be sure to get one on Monday. It was Westy I was thinking about, because you know how you heard me say we were special friends, sort of, Jiminy Christopher! I didn't care about anything now. Even once when I lost my bronze medal I didn't feel so bad.
Oh, jiminy, you could hear a pin drop, everyone was so quiet. You knew that to be entitled to your share of the pleasure of this purposed cruise, you would have to do your share of the work. You knew that to day was set apart for concerted effort by the whole troop to make this boat ready for starting next Saturday.
The lightkeeper stared at him, and he returned the stare. "Gosh!" repeated Seth, after an instant of silence. "Jiminy crimps! I feel better." The stranger's smile broadened. "Glad to hear it, I'm sure," he said, slowly. "So do I, though there's still room for improvement. What was your particular ailment? Mine seems to have been water on the brain."
The boy was greatly interested, and asked for all the details. So Dotty told him all, even of Dolly's seeing Alicia return to the room and go to the table by the window. "Jiminy crickets!" said Geordie, "that looks bad! But I can't believe Alicia would take it, nor any of you others. Let me talk to Alicia; I won't accuse her, you know, but maybe I can gather something from the way she talks."
"Now for business. Ho, Jiminy, flash Mr. Ford the signal." Instantly Gordon bounded out of the circle of light and climbed the nearest stone pile. Then with his battery he began to flash the Morse code toward headquarters, where Mr. Ford was waiting. The circus manager took the whole performance in with wide eyes. "Say, hang it all, you Scouts know a thing or two, don't yuh?"
Carl felt sorry for him. "Poor man 's fussed. Ought to be! I'd be, too, if I tried to stop a ten-inch gun like Frazer.... He's singing hard.... Announcements, now.... What's he waiting for? Jiminy! I wish he'd spring it and get it over.... Suppose he said something about last night me " President Wood stood silent. His glance drifted from row to row of students. They moved uneasily.
