Mine's turned into a screw-driver, and I want to help this nig Malay gentleman to cut sticks." "Here you are, Pete," said Archie, after a hard struggle to get his hand into the pocket of his overall, and a harder struggle still to get it back with the knife. "Thankye gugg sir! Blest if I don't believe I'm going to have a cold!" And the cutting and rustling of thick, leafy branches went on.
"Could you dally with a rice cake, kiddo?" asked Roy, as he deftly stirred up some rice and batter. "Sling me that egg powder, Tom, and give me something to stir with not that, you gump, that's the fever thermometer!" "Here's a fountain pen," said Pee-wee; "will that do?"
