Come along home, man; that's the place for you." But Billy was suddenly a Gibraltar of firmness. "Got date with lovely blue-eyed girlie couldn't dish'point her. Unmanly deed Recky, d' you want bes' fren' ev' had to do unmanly deed, and dish'point trustin' female? Nev', Recky nev', ol' man.
He stalked across to the tranquil form on the truck. "Billy," he said, and shook a massive shoulder. "Wake up. Tell me that girl's name." Strong opened his eyes like a baby waked from dewy sleep. "Wha's that, Recky dear old Recky bes' fren' " "Cut that out," said Rex, sharply. "Tell me the name of the girl you're waiting here to meet," and he laughed a short bitter laugh.
"'S up to you, Recky." Rex looked at his frowning cousin doubtfully, pleadingly. "It almost seems as if it was, doesn't it, Carty?" he said. "We can't leave them like this." "I don't see why we can't I can," Reed asserted. "It's none of our business, Rex, and we really haven't time to palaver. Come along." The gentle soul of Rex Fairfax was surprisingly firm.
The girl whom "Billy" was waiting to meet! Rex was getting tired and hungry. Strong smiled a gentle, obstinate, tipsy smile and shook his head. "No, Recky, dear ol' fren' bes' fren' well, nev' min'. Can't tell girl's name; tha's her secret." "Don't be an ass, Billy quick, now, tell me the name." "Naughty, naughty!" quoted Billy again, and waggled his forefinger. "Danger hell fire!
"Oh, tha's all right," Billy agreed easily. "You meet girl tell her you got me drunk," and he turned over and prepared for slumber. Strenuous argument was necessary to rouse him even to half a sense of responsibility. "Recky, dear, you 'noy me," he said with severity, coming to a sitting position and contemplating Rex with mild displeasure. "What kin' girl? Why, jes' girly-girl.
Danger hell fire if you call brother fool. Nev' min', Recky we un'stand each other. Two fools. I'm go'n behave." He knocked his derby in the back so it rested on his nose, stuck his chin up to meet it, and started off in the most unmistakable semblance of a tipsy man to be met anywhere. "See me behavin'?" he remarked sidewise, with a gleam of rollicking deviltry out of his eyes.
"Y'see wouldn't tell ev'body only you," and he laid a mighty hand on Reed's shoulder. "I'm so drunk. Awful pity too bad," and he sighed deeply. "Now, Recky, ol' man, take's home." "Who's your friend, Billy?" Rex inquired, disregarding this appeal. Billy burst into a shout of laughter which Fairfax promptly clipped by putting his hand over the big man's mouth.
He threw his arm about Rex's neck with a force of affection which almost knocked down the quartette. "Recky," he bubbled, "good old Recky bes' fren' ev' had I'm drunk, Recky too bad. We're both drunk. Take's home." Rex glanced at his cousin in dismay, and Strong repeated his invitation cordially. "Take's home, Recky," he insisted, with the easy air of a man who confers an honor.
