Cracky, I felt awful sorry for him. First I bored a hole in the coin and hung it around Skinny's neck. He was all excited and said, "Now I've got a regular merit badge, ain't I?" I said, "No you haven't, but it's a good badge, all right" Then I said, "Now I'm going to tell you some things about merit badges. You get merit badge because you're able to do special things, see?
That isn't so bad for poetry, is it? I got that idea out of a story by Sir Walter Scott putting poetry at the top of the chapters. Mr. Ellsworth says sometimes a fellow might get killed for writing poetry. I should worry a scout is brave. You can bet that if Pee-wee had his way we'd have all gone into the city that very night and broken into a store to get Skinny's outfit.
Parker said as they turned toward the house. "Listen at Parker, he's one of them, too," Chuck continued; "this is his day to be a sweetheart to the widow!" "I'd rather have Skinny's job," Bert said with a snicker, "I'd be afraid of Ophelia " "Why?" "She acts too gentle to start with" " "Give her time," Charley suggested, "she'll bu'st loose when she gets better acquainted!"
"Blamed if I can figure her out," Skinny said to himself as Carolyn June ran lightly into the house. "She keeps a feller freezing to death and burning up all at once sort of in heaven and hell both mixed together." A white, medium-brimmed felt hat was set jauntily on the fluffy brown hair when she reappeared. Skinny's heart leaped hungrily. Carolyn June was a picture of perfect physical fitness.
Sabota threw his right arm around the back of his antagonist, gripping the shoulder on the far side of his body and drew the slender form toward him pinning the Ramblin' Kid's left arm and hand to his side. Skinny's hand dropped to the butt of his gun and rested there. The Ramblin' Kid struggled desperately in the strangling grasp of the crazed Greek.
I never said you wanted the money. I know every one of you is square Skinny too. Did I ever say you were not? I said you wanted the cross that's what I said. And so you did. And I tell you now that you're going to get it and Skinny's going to bring it to you. Chuck him out if you want to he should worry. If he isn't good enough for you, he's good enough do you see that cabin up on the hill?
If it's our outfit, though, they've got through quicker than they figured!" A few moments later the dim bulk of the "grub-wagon" appeared, miles away, slowly crawling toward the Quarter Circle KT. For a time Skinny and Carolyn June were silent. Skinny's hand crept slyly across the rock and found the pink fingers of Carolyn June. She did not draw away.
The ex-batsman took up the position near the fence in disgust. Skinny moved forward to the pitcher's box, and Sid replaced Bill as catcher. The muscles of Skinny's long, thin arms tightened as he grasped the ball for his first pitch of the season.
But on reaching that scene of Skinny's memorable meeting with Hervey Willetts, Tom's keenest interest was aroused by something which he saw there, and which both of the others characteristically had failed to notice. Skinny, enthralled by his vision of the coveted badge, had been in no state for minute exploration, and as for Hervey, these things were quite out of his line.
Eternal hatred for all Hebrews was born in Skinny's heart the moment he saw the layout. But, well, it was there; he was anxious to see if a white shirt would have any effect, and he would wear it anyway. Skinny knew instantly that he made an impression on Carolyn June. She looked at him once and was speechless! "By gosh," he said to himself, "Chuck was right!
