Bud had just returned from Soldier Butte, where he had been spending the afternoon. "What's devouring you now?" asked Ben Tremont. "Or is it just one of your weekly sillies?" "Who are yer alludin' at?" asked Bud loftily. "As you were going to say " suggested Kit, looking at Bud. "Boys, thar's goin' ter be a 'rent rag' in the Butte ter-morrer night, an' we all have an urgent bid ter be present."
Quick! Oh, you two sillies, tell me! Seth, you've been ill, and you never told me!" Slow of wit, utterly devoid of subterfuge as Rube was, for once he grasped the situation. "Why, gal, it's jest nothin'. Seth's been mighty sick, but he's right enough now, ain't you, Seth, boy?" "Sure."
They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are." "I shall have such fun," said Peter, with eye on Wendy. "It will be rather lonely in the evening," she said, "sitting by the fire." "I shall have Tink."
She looked with sick but intent and penetrating eyes at Sonia, who stood pale and trembling, wiping the sweat from her brow with a handkerchief. At last she asked to be raised. They sat her up on the bed, supporting her on both sides. "Where are the children?" she said in a faint voice. "You've brought them, Polenka? Oh the sillies! Why did you run away.... Och!"
"It would make a hit in vaudeville," chuckled Bart. "Think of us sillies stalking along and going through shadow motions for a nut like that. We're squirrel food, all right." "Well, after all what could we do?" defended Frank. "We're not mind readers." "Not even of a scrambled mind like that," interposed Billy.
Jerry's hopes for the downfall of her enemies were usually energetic and sweeping. "I can be a lot more cruel than that," she boasted. "It made me tired to hear those sillies had elected that girl to the class presidency. Glad I'm not a freshie. They will rue it before the year is up. Phil's supporters are as mad as hops." Many of the upper-class girls shared Jerry's opinion.
But the gentleman burst out a- laughing, and reached up and pulled out the mallet, and then he said: "I've travelled many miles, and I never met three such big sillies as you three before; and now I shall start out on my travels again, and when I can find three bigger sillies than you three, then I'll come back and marry your daughter."
Wag, who had been darting about in the air while we walked to his home, followed us in on foot. He now reached up to my shoulder. Slim, who came in too, was shorter. "Haven't you got any sisters?" I took occasion to say to Wag. "Of course," said he; "don't you see 'em? Oh! I forgot. Come out, you sillies!"
"They come a whisperin' at the door, an' a rattlin' ov the handle as soon as ever you gone downstairs. But I tole 'em just to take theirselves off, an' as 'ow you didn't want 'em. Sillies!" And taking a crust smeared with treacle out of his pocket, Benny returned with a severe air to the sucking of it. Marcella laughed.
"Some of that crowd think we're sillies for staying out here, don't they, Steve?" Bandy-legs asked, after a little time had elapsed, without their sighting any more precious cargoes coming down on the flood. "Yes, I heard a lot of 'em say things that way, because they've got a notion in their heads the bridge is agoin' out any old minute. But there's another lot that don't believe shucks.
