"Oh, the joke's on you!" cried his tormentors, laughing more heartily than ever, and dancing gayly around the Marionette. "And that is ?" "That we have made you stay out of school to come with us. Aren't you ashamed of being such a goody-goody, and of studying so hard? You never have a bit of enjoyment." "And what is it to you, if I do study?" "What does the teacher think of us, you mean?" "Why?"
"Bribed!" exclaimed the other, "ha, ha, ha! that's good." "Why, do you think there's anything morally wrong or dishonorable in a bribe?" asked the other, with a very serious face. "Come, come, Mr. Travers," said Dick, "a joke's a joke; only don't put so grave a face on you when you ask such a question. However, as you say yourself, now to business about these leases."
But the suspense was soon over, for the nearer bushes parted suddenly and out upon the tote-road floundered an immense moose, his bulbous nose wagging, his bristly mane twitching, his stilted fore legs straddled defiantly. The next moment a great bellow of laughter went up from the crowd. "The joke's on us!" cried a woodsman, who had been among the first to retreat. "Hullo, Ben Bouncer!"
"He was a waggish fellow," says Lewis, "and would not lose any thing for the joke's sake when he was putting his tricks upon others, so he was obliged to submit cheerfully to what was inflicted upon him, being at our mercy to play him off well, which we did accordingly."

A joke's a joke, but to send us out to the station on a night like last night, through all that heavy rain, when you knew all the time that there was no quarter-to-nine train it was simply disgraceful."
Joke's got to come out now." It came out at the baggage-room; for there were the trunks of the Hart boys, and they had to go with the others to the ticket-office for their tickets, before they could get their checks. "Do you mean you're to go right on now, with us?" said Ford in some astonishment. "I thought you were going home first." "No. We got a letter three days ago, telling us what to do.
"I I cannot go, gentlemen," she stammered. "Please don't insist please don't ask why. I cannot go " "I shay, Conshance, by Jove, the joke's on you," exclaimed Freddie. "I know who 't ish you're waitin' f-for. Well, he can't come. He's locked in." "Freddie, you are drunk!" in deep scorn. "I know it," he admitted cheerfully. "We've looked ever'where for you. We're your frien's.
'Tain't as if you was watching clowns, knowing what the joke's to be before they say it. To my mind, lions are more like men than clowns are." Abbott found himself intensely nervous. He longed to have it all over, anxious, above all, to prove his fears groundless. Yet how were so many coincidences to be explained away?
And you'll see why Pat Noonan lines up with the rugged captains of industry who are the bulwarks of our American liberty. Pat uses his head for something more than a hatrack." The two puffed for a time in silence. Finally the host said: "Well, let's turn in." Three minutes later George called across the upper hall to Penfield. "The joke's on us, Penny.
As they fell, a huge, long-legged fellow named Christopher Crane alighted on the fence, on the very spot where they had been sitting, and laughed loudly at them. "What's the joke?"
