"You can't sass him," said Pepsy, "because he uses big words and he's such a smarty and he makes you feel silly and then you begin to cry and get mad. When he says I'm an orphan and things and things Wiggle hates him, too, don't you, Wiggle?" The girl was almost crying then and Pee-wee comforted her. "Do you think I don't know any long words?" he said.
The terrible conqueror, who intended to subdue this bevy of giggling maidens and cast a blight upon their levity, stood behind his counter like a soldier making a last stand in a third line trench, while Pepsy, captivated by the mirthful assailants, laughed uncontrollably.
At all events, Pepsy could muster up courage to go and face him, and that she was now resolved to do. Indeed, this had been her secret. Mr.
It was all inspiration born of a frankfurter. It was not for poor Pepsy to take issue with this master mind. Yet she did venture to say, "Not very many autos come down here, only a few that go through to Berryville. Licorice Stick " "That's a dandy name," Pee-wee said. "He goes by a dozen times a day, but he hasn't got any money, and Mr.
Such a man is not to be approached except upon a well-considered plan. It required almost another week of idling in the refreshment parlor, of vain hopes, and ebbing interest on the part of the scout partner, to bring Pepsy to the state of desperation needed for her terrible enterprise. A sudden and alarming turn of Pee-wee's fickle mind precipitated her action.
Aunt Jamsiah had promised to make a plum-pudding for Pee-wee in the largest one of these and he had spent some time in measuring them and computing their capacity, with the purpose of selecting the most capacious. Pepsy now hurriedly took all of these and a kitchen apron along with them, and descended again into the cellar.
If you try to get fresh with me I'll paint you blacker blacker than a than a tomato could I will. You come ten steps nearer, I dare you to." Gamely paused irresolute, at which Pepsy, under protection of her partner's terrible threat, set up a provoking laugh. Wiggle, appearing to sense the situation, began to bark up-roariously.
Without another word he turned and trudged away along the path, Pepsy following after him, to astonished to speak. On that very morning Constable Bungel performed the stupendous feat which sent his name ringing through Borden County and established him definitely as the Sherlock Holmes of Everdoze.
Pepsy was willing to believe anything of her hero and she said, "They were a lot of freshies and I hate them anyway." Pee-wee did not trouble himself about what the man had said. His chief interest was the dollar and ten cents of working capital which they now had and how to invest it.
She and Uncle Ebenezer had agreed to be responsible for the girl, and Pepsy had spent a year of joyous freedom at the farm marred only by the threat hanging over her that she would be restored to the authorities upon the least suspicion of misconduct. She had done her work faithfully and become a help and a comfort to her benefactors.
