One night, because of two swift bangs down-stairs, which Anthony fearfully but unavailingly investigated, they lay awake nearly until dawn asking each other examination-paper questions about the history of the world. In October Muriel came out for a two weeks' visit. Gloria had called her on long-distance, and Miss Kane ended the conversation characteristically by saying "All-ll-ll righty.
"Never thought of that," said the Poker. "Of course, I can see a great deal farther than he can. My, how far I can see! What's the matter with our pushing the cloud in a little nearer?" "Nothing if we can do it," said Righty. "But can we?" "We can 'wink our eye and try, as the poet says," returned the Poker. "Ever heard that poem, Dormy?" "No," returned Tom. "That is, not that I know of.
"Yes, I am," said the Bellows. "I'm awfully selfish." "You're not, either," said the Poker. "Oh, goodness!" ejaculated the Bellows. "What's the use of fighting? I say I am." "Let's have a vote on it," said Righty. "I vote he isn't." "So do I," said Tom. "Me, too," said Lefty. "Those are my sentiments likewise," put in the Poker.
Tom scratched his head in a puzzled mood. He could not quite grasp the Bellows' meaning. "What do you think about it, Righty?" he demanded of the Andiron. "Oh, I don't think anything about it," replied Righty. "I haven't watched poetry much. You see, Lefty and I don't see much of it. People light fires nowadays more with newspapers than with poetry."
You better brace up, he says, 'or folks'll be callin' you a faded flower. 'Well, says I, 'I may be faded, but there's one old p'ison ivy around here that's fresh enough to make up. Oh, I squashed HIM all righty, but I never took no comfort out of doin' it. I ain't took no comfort for the last two, three days. But now Whew!" The letter to Cousin Gussie was written that very afternoon. Mr.
"In the usual way of course?" queried the Poker. "Oh, yes! He can't decide except as we want him to and have it go as a real decision. We've given him his choice of watching the world go round, going to Saturn or taking the long jump." "And which will it be, Dormy?" asked the Poker. "I sort of think I'd like to sit up here and watch the world go round," said Tom. "Nope," said Righty.
Of course, gentlemen and fellow beasts," he continued, "I can't keep you from getting off, but this car is traveling at the rate of four miles a minute, and if you try it, you do so at your own risk. Fares, please." "It's an outrage!" said the Flamingo. "I'm going to jump," said the Kangaroo. "I think we'd better sit still, Tom," whispered Righty.
The bear was apparently pleased by the compliment and, with a satisfied wink at Righty, folded his fore legs over his chest and went to sleep. "I think I'll buy one of those lots in Potted Town," said a Kangaroo who sat opposite to Tom. "You couldn't raise the money," growled a Flamingo who sat at the far end of the car. "Thirty cents is your measure."
The boy was willing to laugh about it, but his eyes always sobered dreamily in the end, and invariably he wound up with, "but I'm a-goin', all righty, an' don't you fergit it." He did now. "But y'see, whilst I'm a-waitin' I git kinda tired the hills, Mist' Steerin'," he complained, trying to explain how it was with him without telling anything.
But ef she comes out yere looking mighty pleased, an' larffin all ober her face, an' steppin' so frisky, den I knows de Secesh is gittin' de bes' ob de Yankees. Robby, honey, does you really b'lieve for good and righty dat dem Yankees is got horns?" "Of course not." "Well, I yered so." "Well, you heard a mighty big whopper." "Anyhow, Bobby, things goes mighty contrary in dis house.
