Having made the marshal's daughters laugh, after their long sadness, Loony at once acquired a claim to the indulgence of the marshal, who said to him, good humoredly: "What do you want, my lad?" "It's not me, my lord duke!" answered Loony, laying his hand on his breast, as if it were taking a vow, so that his feather-brush fell down from under his arm. The laughter of the girls redoubled.
"They can't faze Blake," whispered Walter Osborne, hugging himself joyfully, as once again Blake gave a calm and sure rejoinder to the Scout Master's query. "No wonder!" replied Don Miller. "He has had all this practical work over at Ralph Kenyon's!" "What's the matter with Bud Morgan?" asked Arthur Cameron. "He makes me proud to be a Wolf! He has always been loony over surveying, you know."
"I am going, M. Dagobert, I am going," replied the simpleton, as he hastily gathered up his basket; "only please to tell the dog " "Go to the devil, you stupid chatterbox!" cried Dagobert, as he pushed Loony through the doorway. Then the soldier bolted the door which led to the private staircase, and going to that which communicated with the apartments of the two sisters, he double-locked it.
"I knew I'd make it... Nobel Prize... Oh, you have no idea what I went through... Most of my staff dead... But it's over, now, Ralph... Another good, stomach-warming scotch..." "Damn, loony squirt's crackin' up!" Dutch screamed suddenly. He began to run, promptly falling into a volcanic crack, the bottom of which couldn't even be found with the light.
Come on out of here afore I go loony myself. "So he done it, finally, cross as all get out, and swearin' that all Chinese was no good and oughtn't to be allowed in this country. But he wouldn't give up, not yet. He must scare up some of the neighbors and ask them. The fifth man that we asked was an old chap who remembered that there used to be a liquor saloon once where the laundry was now.
I'm just kind of loony, I guess. Please excuse me, Mr. Bangs." "Yes, yes, Primmie, of course of course. Don't cry, that's all. But what is this? Do I understand you to say that Miss Phipps has ah DISCHARGED you?" "Um-hm. That's what she's done. I'm canned. And I don't know where to go and and I don't want to go anywheres else. I want to stay here along of her." She burst into tears again.
It gave him a pleasant thrill to see the glow in her eyes and the eager poise of her slim, beautiful body as she listened to him. "I'm licked," he went on, smiling frankly at her. "At least for the present. Maybe I've gone loony, like Bram, and don't realize it yet.
"Poor fellow, he is scared stiff!" said Dave, as he bent over the shrinking man. "I reckon the landslide made him about loony thet an' seein' them others carried off to death," murmured Abe Blower. "I wonder if they really were killed?" said Roger. "If it's true, what an awful death to die!" "Men before now have been killed by landslides," said Tom Dillon.
But Loony's quick gaze circled the room, promptly checking over every face between the four walls. "What's up?" he demanded. "Who 'd you spot?" "Nothing, Loony, nothing! But this game o' yours blamed near made me forget an appointment o' mine!" Twenty minutes after he had left the bewildered Loony Ryan in the pool parlor he was in a New Orleans sleeper, southward bound.
"The market price of JOHNNY-CAKE! He must have thought you was loony." "No. I'm the last man he'd think was loony. You see I met him a fore he came here to live at all." "You did? Where?" "Oh, over to Wellmouth. 'Twas the year afore I come back to East Harniss, myself, after my long stretch away from it. I never intended to see the Cape again, but I couldn't stay away somehow.
