A few more sweeps and the remains of the camp they had that morning left were before them, and Pierre could no longer repress his glee. "Good guide, you! Trust a know-it-all for making mistakes." "What does it mean?" demanded Adrian, angrily. "Nothing. Only you picked out a run-about, a little branch of river, that wanders out of course and then comes home again. Begins and ends the same.
To begin mentally to grow old is to begin mentally to die. He must think of himself as an expanding being, not as a contracting one. He must keep in sympathetic touch with the new, damning the know-it-all frame of mind. He must keep in sympathetic touch with youth, knowing that youth is the next generation in advance.
They're glib talkers, and all that, but they belong to the know-it-all class of boys. I've had a lot of experience with that kind of 'prentices, and I don't want 'em bothering our work here. So I say, sir, the only thing for you to do is to send them about their business." Foreman Owen spoke as though that settled the matter. Jack Benson and Hal Hastings felt their hopes oozing.
"But say, Frank," he exclaimed, "when you start the propellers she is going to fly even though you may want her to skim the water." "Is she, mister know-it-all?" laughed Frank, "that shows all you know. See this pump?" He indicated a small centrifugal affair geared to the main shaft. Billy nodded.

You got us into this fix, and I'm going to give you one more chance to get us out of it.
