"Wipe off that ha-ha look, mister!" warned Youngster Paulson. "I'll sing, gentlemen, if you think you can stand it," Dave promised. "You'll sing, mister, because you've been ordered to do so," reported Paulson as master of ceremonies. "Now, then, let us have that paragraph to the air of 'Yankee Doodle." Dave obeyed.
Each man was a specialist, yet Forrest was the proved master of their specialties. As Paulson, the head plowman, complained privily to Dawson, the crop manager: "I've worked here twelve years and never have I seen him put his hands to a plow, and yet, damn him, he somehow seems to know. He's a genius, that's what he is.
Charlie Paulson arrived next night and put in a wondrous hour watching the prodigy swap through the air in amazing parabolas, and on the night following he brought two age men with him who looked as though they had been born smoking black cigars and talking about money in low, passionate voices.
When I have played it on an average of twice a day, ever since I came here! Haven't you any ears?" "Not for your kind of music," Allyn returned bluntly. "I want a little tune in mine."

When the other re-entered with Paulson at his heels, he asked: "Have any of the policemen detailed here been out of town recently?" "No," replied Paulson. "There have been five besides myself, and they have been on duty every day." "Thank you," said the investigator.
Midshipmen Jones, Hulburt and Heath of the second class filed gravely into the room, followed by Midshipmen Healy, Brooks, Denton, Trotter and Paulson of the third class. Dave and Dan quickly rose to their feet, standing at attention facing their visitors.

'And these are, it's said, the three domestic counsellors, remarked the lad, and with his strong arms he pushed under the pent-roof the sledge that had remained outside.
