Mr. Ellsworth read it through two or three times, and then said, "Boys, this looks like a very serious matter. You said the old gentleman spoke broken English, Walter?" That's the name he always called Pee-wee. "Cracky," I said, "Pee-wee's kindly old gentleman is a German spy." "Sure he is," said Westy Martin, "and he's only flying the American flag for a bluff, he's a deep dyed villain."
"Oh I just adore it," said the girl, "but where did you get my card? Won't you sit down?" The scouts were glad to rest in the comfortable wicker chairs on the deep, shady porch, and here the girl listened to Pee-wee's graphic account of his finding of the old wallet. He explained that it was his regular custom to find things and that this need give her no surprise.
You move the tents over there, gee whiz, Arabs move their tents every day, and look at gypsies, they keep moving all the time." "It will be a scout movement," said Scoutmaster Safety First, rather impressed with Pee-wee's arguments. "I'm game for anything," said Scoutmaster Ned. "Variety is the spice of life. The housing situation "
By the luck which he claimed to be his, a girl of perhaps nineteen or twenty came to the door, who proved to be none other than the young lady of the calling card. Here, however, Pee-wee's luck deserted him. "We're boy scouts and this is your card," said the young spokesman. "Do you like fudge?" he added, producing also a specimen of his confectionery skill.
About midway of this lonely road was Everdoze, and in a pleasant old-fashioned white house in Everdoze lived Ebenezer Quig who once upon a time had married Pee-wee's Aunt Jamsiah. The letter, as has been said, bore the postmark of Everdoze and had been stamped by the very hand of Simeon Drowser, the local postmaster.
Roy was cook, as he always was on their troop enterprises. In his forages against the stronghold of Chocolate Drop, the professional cook at Temple Camp, he had learned much of the beloved art in which that grinning negro excelled. The unruly flipflop tossed in air, fluttered down into his greasy pan like a tamed bird. In Pee-wee's experiments it had a perverse habit of alighting on his head.
The very fact that he was summoned into the sitting room seemed ominous for that holy of holies was never used; not more than once or twice in Pee-wee's recollection had his own dusty shoes stood upon that sacred oval-shaped rag carpet. Never before had he found himself within reaching distance of that plush album that stood on its wire holder on the marble table.
"Same here," said Tom. "I wouldn't carry another can of gas this far for a prince's ransom whatever in the dickens that is. Look at the blisters on my hand, will you? Gee, I'm so hungry I could eat a package of tacks. I bet Pee-wee's been throwing duck fits. Never mind, we did a good turn. 'We seen our duty and we done it noble. Some grammar! They ought to put us on the cover of the manual.
Townsend began at the very beginning to take the irrepressible ex-Raven very soberly indeed, and the more preposterous Pee-wee's schemes the more in favor of them Townsend seemed to be. No doubt he got a great deal of amusement out of Pee-wee. But Pee-wee never knew it. It was quite characteristic of Townsend Ripley that he did not ask Roly Poly anything about his extraordinary adventure.
Other signs originating in Pee-wee's fertile mind and covering the range of food and drink and auto accessories were these: PEANUT TAFFY SWEET AND DELICIOUS > There were many others, enough to decorate the road for miles in both directions. If Pepsy as chef could live up to Pee-wee's promises the neighborhood would soon become famous.
