One of the sheriff's companions muttered: "Come on, Bill. I think she's the wife of that nosey new preacher over to Cordova." "All right," said the sheriff. Before he turned away he threatened, "Now if I hear of anything more from you boys, I'll get that warrant, all righty, and you'll land in the calaboose, where you belong."
For a moment the prisoners could not imagine what had happened to them, but presently half a dozen Blueskins, resembling in shape and costume their ruler but less magnificently dressed, stepped in front of them and bowed low to the Boolooroo. "Your orders, most Mighty, Flighty, Tight and Righty Monarch, have been obeyed," said the leader. "Very well, Captain.
"Woof!" said Jeffy. Which Tom took to be a promise that his rescuer would do better next time. The little party has not been off again since, but the other night some pieces of newspaper were thrown into the fire place and all but one of them were burned. Righty held this one under his claw and Tom, while trying to get a word out of his friend, caught sight of it.
"He talkee my, wanchee cook makee one piecee burfday-cake." He set the cake down in front of Prudence as he spoke. "Welly good, Ah Kew, Master b'long quitey righty," said Hugh approvingly. "Cook makee jolly-good cakee, me eat jolly-good cakee. Cook pleased, me pleased, cakee pleased, all jolly-welly pleased."
"Hi, there," cried Righty, as he perceived the damage done to their fleecy chariot. "What are you up to? We don't want to be blown to the four corners of the earth. Pull in pull in, for goodness sake, or we'll never get together again!" "There's no satisfying you fellows," growled the Bellows. "First I don't blow enough, and then I blow too much."
"One of these bean-snapping boys that go around shooting robins and hooking birds' eggs when they haven't anything else to do?" "Not a bit of it," said Righty. "He never snapped a bean at a bird in all his life." "Humph!" said the Flamingo. "I suppose he's been too busy pulling feathers out of peacocks' tails to decorate his room with to be bothering with robins and eggs."
"Any one of 'em but you would be hollering for their junk out of pawn. But, Lord, the way she rigs herself up without it! Where'd you dig up the spangles, Babe? Gad! I gotta take you out to-night and buy you the right kind of a dinner. When I walks my girl into a café, they sit up and take notice, all righty.
He leaned for her hand. "Little bittsie, black-eyed baby, you got me wrong." "Ugh-h! Quit! Let go!" He straightened, regarding her solemnly and controlling the slight swaying of his figure. "I'm a gentleman." Her laugh was more of a cough. "There ain't no such animal." "There ain't? I seen you trying to rope one to-day, all righty. I seen you." "You what?" "Sure I did. The slick guy in checks."
I liked it best of all. Sometimes no one can see Mr. Edison for weeks at a time, when he's buried in one of his 'world-beaters. But I reckon we can let you hear Mr. Meadowcroft's voice. He wrote me a pippin of a letter once about the Chief." "All righty. I'll take Medders's. I know Bill, an' you can't fool me on that voice." "Mr. Hooper, I'll tell you what," said the all-practical Bill eagerly.
"And do they call it tobogganing here?" "No," said Righty, "it's called oscillating, and the machine is known as the oscycle" "Don't confound it with the icicle," put in the Bellows. "Oh, I know what an icicle is," said Tom. "It's a spear of ice that hangs from a piazza roof." "That's what it is at home," said the Poker, "but not here, my lad.
