She remembered entering the cars and crouching down in a seat, with Baxter beside her. A long ride in the night followed, and she slept part of the way, although troubled with a horrible nightmare. She wanted to flee, but seemed to lack both the physical and mental strength to do so. The ride at an end, Baxter and Mumps almost carried her to the river. Here the Flyaway was in waiting.
How Dan Baxter must have laughed over the way his ruse worked!" "Yes, and Mumps too," added Sam. "Say, we ought to punch their heads well for them when we catch them." "Let us get our eggs before we cook them," said Tom. "By the way, I'm getting hungry." "Ditto," came from Harris. "Will you boys see what you can offer?
We've just got to have the old car tinkered up so it'll carry us on to the next place, wherever that is. Jack says he must have a new tire by some means or other, and he was counting on what we'd make here. And up at that other place you've mentioned the mumps have broke out and they wouldn't let us show for love or money. A man in the drug store told me, Mister.
I thought these were sweet dried apples, but they are sour as a boarding house keeper, and they make me tired. Didn't you ever have the mumps? Gosh, but don't it hurt though? You have got to be darn careful when you have the mumps, and not go out bob-sledding, or skating, or you will have your neck swell up biggern a milk pail.
"No," said Bobbie, firmly, "but you will to-morrow. And there's some beef stewing in the oven for beef tea." "Who told you to do that?" he asked. "I noticed what Mother did when Phil had mumps." "Right," said the Doctor. "Now you get your old woman to sit with your mother, and then you eat a good breakfast, and go straight to bed and sleep till dinner-time.
"Well, rather," returned the Baron. "I don't see why the mortals don't erect a statue to the canvas-back." "Did anybody at this board ever have as much canvas-back duck as he could eat?" asked Doctor Johnson. "Yes," said the Baron. "I did. Once." "Oh, you!" sneered Ptolemy. "You've had everything." "Except the mumps," retorted Munchausen.
Evringham so upset in my life," she said in an awestruck tone. "I saw the governor wasn't real comfortable," returned the boy. "Guess he's afraid he's goin' to catch the mumps or something. It would be real harrowin' if he got any worse case of big head than he's got already." Mr. Evringham was little accustomed to waiting, and by the time Dr. Ballard appeared, his nervousness had become painful.
"What on earth should I play it for at this time of night?" said Mr. Mortimer irritably. "It woke me up," said Mr. Bennett complainingly. "And I had had great difficulty in dropping off to sleep. I was in considerable pain. I believe I've caught the mumps from young Hignett." "Nonsense! You're always imagining yourself ill," snapped Mr. Mortimer. "My face hurts," persisted Mr. Bennett.
"And about four months for me," said Kathleen. "But eight years for me," cried Nora, "and she has never missed writing me every week, except once when she had the mumps, and she made her father write that week. Now we shall have to take our old democrat to meet her, the awful old thing," said Nora in a tone of disgust. "Jane won't mind if it is a hayrack," said Larry. "No, but her father.
'George Johnson, Bill Davis, got the mumps. 'The mumps, Sally, the mumps, them's what killed George, and they're so catchin' whispered one of the women and continued the sergeant, 'Bill Thatcher, George Clifton the chicken-pox. 'O Lord, the chicken-pox, said another woman, 'it killed my two cousins before they were in the army a week. 'Put them four, said the sergeant, 'in the middle room down stairs.
