"If don't tumble before bed time, then ask your father how it is that dangerous elevators can be replaced with safety-raisers. Here's your bag. Scoot -before an idea hits you!" Red-faced and angry, but still puzzled, Hi snatched at his bathing suit bag and hastily decamped. "Now he'll beat you at swimming or die tomorrow," predicted Dave grimly.
" And she brought it straight to me, as I had asked her to, and promised to raise her salary if she'd win out. For I knew that unless I proved to you it could be stolen, you'd never agree to hire a detective to watch those things, which will get us all into trouble some day. Here! Scoot out o' this. It's nearly time for your number."
"Oughtn't Dawn to be woke up first and told to scoot out of that?" said he. Dawn was one of those young beings so thoroughly inured to easy living that the few hours' sleep she had lost the night before had made her so dozy when she had come to keep me company now, that I had persuaded her to rest beside me on the broad bed, where, much against Andrew's sense of propriety, she was fast asleep.

Starting out for a day's tramp in the woods, he would ask whether we wanted to take a "reg'lar walk, or a random scoot," the latter being a plunge into the pathless forest.
There was a general flutter of good-natured gratulation, and it seemed at the moment only some preposterous mistake that Con Hite should put it into Persimmon Sneed's lean paw and close his trembling fingers over it. "Now, scoot!" he bawled out at the top of his voice, the little den ringing with the echoes of his excitement, a second revolver drawn in his left hand.
"Is that what you come to say to me?" "Yep." "Well, now you're done with your braggin', get out, an' get out quick." But Maudlin didn't move. "I said to scoot," said Lafe presently, in suppressed tones. He was magnificent in his ferocity. "I heard you!" observed Maudlin, still sitting, though a little cowed in his former egotistical spirit.
"'Suppose, I said, 'that Mr. Williamson Green should wake up and see me; what could I say? How could I explain my situation? "'You needn't say anything, said my father.
