The darkness hid all six, the two policemen, the four men behind them the only sounds were the OFFICERS' footsteps dying away in the distance. Jimmie Dale's fingers were mechanically testing the mechanism of the automatic in his pocket. "The Skeeter's gang!" he muttered to himself. "Red Mose, the Midget, Harve Thoms and the Skeeter!
The two men disappeared again, and her fears had begun to prey on her a second time when she beheld the big Canadian returning. He was hurrying a bit, apparently to be rid of the mosquitoes that swarmed about him; and she marked that, in addition to whipping himself with a handful of blueberry bushes, he wore Runnion's coat to protect his shoulders. "Woof! Dose skeeter bug is hongry," he cried.
Skeeter interpreted all that Chick said, interpreted it freely, and with imagination, and Chick apparently considered himself honor bound to accept the interpretation and stand for it, no matter how far it came from expressing his meaning. Eleven years of wickedness had thus been swaggered through when Chick suddenly and unexpectedly fell in love.
"He's too drunk to feel any 'skeeter biting him." "I pity the mosquito that does," joined in a young planter laughing. "The poor insect would die of alcoholic poisoning." "I've given you my room, Major," said Daleham. "I know the other fellows won't mind." No persuasion, however, could make Dermot accept the offer. While the others slept in the bungalow, he lay under the stars beside his elephant.
There are also numerous lakes and marshes which are due to the fact that New Jersey has no drainage laws. Ponds, lakes and marshes all propagate that well-known pest the "Jersey skeeter."

Smoky was full now of little prancing steps, and held his neck arched while his nostrils flared in excitement, showing pink within.

Miss Lady asked, seeing his frightened look. "Come here, Skeeter, and tell me what he says." She relieved Chick of the young person whose parents were not in a position to minister to his wants, and sat on the door-step between the two boys, listening with flattering attention to a detailed description of each hero's wounds and scars and how they had been received.

From the other side, I could see Barbara's glance go from man to picture. "Doesn't it look like Van, Barbie?" Skeet kept up the conversation. "Got the same ring, and all. But it ain't Van. Him's the tootsie in there with the blue ribbon round his tummy." "I say, Skeeter, lay off!"
"Missus won't stand fer it, 'count of the kids, eh?" "That's him, Ma, the one I was telling you about," Richard Sheeley, Jr., yclept "Skeeter" tugged at his mother's sleeve, nodding his head at Donald, who was making love to the smallest and shyest of the daughters of the house. "She ain't as meek as she looks!" Mrs. Sheeley was saying, as she tried to get the child from behind her skirts.
