Reddie announced that he was about to write 'a paper intended to be hereafter published, elaborating more minutely and discussing more rigidly than before the glaring fallacies, dating from the time of Newton, relating to the motion of the moon. He proceeded to 'indicate the nature of the issues he intended to raise. He had discovered that the moon does not, as a matter of fact, go round the earth at the rate of 2288 miles an hour, as astronomers say, but follows an undulatory path round the sun at a rate varying between 65,000 and 70,000 miles an hour; because, while the moon seems to go round the earth, the latter is travelling onwards at the rate of 67,500 miles an hour round the sun.
"Why, Darling Beautiful, when they're through with me, they'll pay me off in my weight in gold. Haven't you said things often enough about your boy's temper when he lets it fly? You think they're going to let me cut up nonsense with that little Reddie of theirs? Why, that old man would pay with his right eye to protect her!" "O God, it's rotten a nice fellow like Pelz a "
The Grays never let up a moment on their coaching. And the hoarse voices of the Stars were grimmer than ever. Reddie Ray was the only one of the seven who kept silent. And he crouched like a tiger. The teams changed sides with the Grays three runs in the lead. Morrissey, for the Stars, opened with a clean drive to right. Then Healy slashed a ground ball to Hanley and nearly knocked him down.
Redbud laughed. "May I go!" said Verty. "Certainly, sir; you are not at liberty to refuse. Who would talk with Reddie!" "I don't think " murmured Redbud, hesitating. "Now!" cried Fanny, "did anybody ever!" "Ever what!" said Verty. "Ever see anybody like this Miss Redbud!" "I don't think they ever did," replied Verty, smiling. Which reply caused Miss Fanny and Mr.
"It was getting along in the afternoon now, and Reddie knew that Uncle Brownwood Bear was likely to come home before long. So he went right up and got the jug, and nearly dropped it getting down, it was so heavy. But he got down with it all right, and then pulled out the cob that was its stopper, and tipped the jug to pour some of the molasses out in his hand.
Reddie pulled, and tugged, and propped his feet against the side of the cave, and the table and benches, and got out of breath, and was panting and hot and his sore places hurt him awful, and he thought he'd have to give it up, but at last the end of the bear-ladder caught on the side of the cave where the jug was, and stayed there, and Cousin Redfield could let go of the rope, and get behind the ladder and push, and then, pretty soon, it was up straight, and he could get the molasses-jug as easy as anything.
Reddy Clammer used every possible incident and artifice to bring himself into the limelight. Reddie Ray had been the intercollegiate champion in the sprints and a famous college ball player. After a few months of professional ball he was hitting over .400 and leading the league both at bat and on the bases. It was a beautiful and a thrilling sight to see him run.
Of course he was quite right in his facts, and quite wrong in his inferences; as the Astronomer-Royal pointed out in a brief letter, closing with the remark that, 'as a very closely occupied man, Mr. Airy could 'not enter further into the matter. But further Mr. Reddie persisted in going, though he received no more letters from Greenwich.
"Then poor little Reddie Bear bawled out as loud as he could, 'Pa! Pa! Oh, pa, come back! I's me, pa; come back!" "And Uncle Brownwood stopped in his tracks and whirled around and said, in an awful voice, 'You, Redfield! for he thought Reddie was playing a joke on him, and he was mad clear through.
You promised me a lunch!" "Lunch!" "Yes and I am getting hungry." "When did I promise?" "Yesterday." "Oh now " "You remember; very well. It was to be eaten, you will recollect, on the hill, yonder, to the west, to which our steps were to tend." "Our picnic! Oh, yes! My goodness gracious! how could I forget it! Come on, Reddie come and help me to persuade Mrs. Scowley to undo the preserve-jar."
