A plank was pulled up, and then Ben shot the beast at short range. It did not even growl. They made a rude sled of saplings, of the kind known to hunters as a "scoot," and drew the bear home; and from the vainglorious talk of Willis one might have thought us the three most valiant lads that ever ranged the forest! John and I said little.
Then glancing about the filthy room he added, "and cleanliness is next to godliness." She opened the door proudly his words had taught her a newer dignity. "This air my shanty," she said. "I air sorry I hitted yer Daddy's face, cause cause he air yer Daddy. Scoot now!" For one short moment after the going of Frederick, Tessibel stood, gapingly, looking out into the darkness.
And when the way became altogether inscrutable, "Waal, this is a reg'lar random scoot of a rigmarole." As some one remarked, "The dictionary in his hands is like clay in the hands of the potter." "A petrifaction was a kind of a hard-wood chemical git-up."
"No use," he said; "Cousin Jack just read more of that newspaper stuff! Never mind, Midget, we can wait till we see him. I guess I will scoot to bed, now; I'm awful sleepy." But when Cousin Jack heard of their project, a day or two later, he was more than willing to help with the celebration. "Well, I just guess!" he cried.
"Tell you what you'll do: Camp at the belars, and they'll think you're on for the ration-paddock; then, between the two lights, just scoot for the Dead Horse Swamp." "Never any grass there," said Thompson. "That's the beauty of it," replied the stranger.

And there in the road stood a big Policeman Cat, with a club and gold buttons on his coat and a big helmet, and his number was two dozen and a half.
That she could beat him she knew very well, but the question was, was there time to catch him? The big tree which formed the winning post was very near now. "Scoot, Bobsie, dear!" whispered Norah unconscious of the fact that she was saying anything unmaidenly. At any rate, Bobs understood, for he went forward with a bound.
He's seen the stars and stripes before now, and he knows he's just got to slip his tail in between his hind legs and scoot, scoot tarnation quick from the place where that rag flutters on the breeze." In the summer of 1800 the Act of Union was passed. The Irish Constitution ceased to exist. The country lay torpid and apathetic under the blow.
He spoke with a palpable effort and almost with a sing-song intonation. I dismounted and pressed forward, and told him: "You talk like an Indian." "God's marcy, young sir!" cried an old dame. "An', please sweet grace, why shouldn't he? Isn't he Johnny Ward, took by the Injums when a boy, an' just managed to scoot free of 'em?"
The two boys had not stopped in their flight, and were a mile above the crossing before Farmer Ellison turned himself homeward. Safe from pursuit at last, Henry Burns threw himself down at the foot of a tree and laughed till he nearly choked for want of breath. "How we did scoot," he said. "Did you see old Ellison slip once and go into the bog?"
