So there was a great scurrying to get their heads brushed before the bell rang again, and Tommy got soap in his eyes wetting the brush to make his hair lie smooth, while Johnny's left shoe came off and dropped in a hole in the floor. Smartie, however, told him that that was for the "Old Woman who lived in a shoe" to feed her cow in, and this was considered a great joke.
His face was livid, the eyes bulged horribly from his head, and his whole body was trembling with emotion. In his hand he held an automatic pistol. He came so fast that he was at the car and had covered Robin with his weapon before the other had seen him come. Mr. Jeekes left Robin no time to act. He called out in a voice that rang like a pistol shot: "Hands up, Mr. Smartie! Quick, d'you hear?
"Wal, if you know so much, what are you going to do about it?" demanded the other. "I guess you'll find that these wires will snap 'bout as fast as you can mend 'em. Now, you can put that in your pipe an' smoke it!" "But I don't smoke." Hiram observed, growing calm immediately. There was no use in giving this lout the advantage of showing anger with him. "Mr. Smartie!" snarled Pete Dickerson.
"And eat them?" scoffed Tom. "How silly, Nell!" "Well, Mr. Smartie! they might hold us for ransom." "Like regular brigands, eh?" returned Tom, lightly. "That would be an adventure worth chronicling." "You can laugh Oh!" As she was speaking, Helen saw a head thrust out of the bushes not far along the road they traveled. "What's the matter?" demanded Ruth, seizing her arm. "Look there!"
And he made a run and a jump, and lit on a big pile of bundles which suddenly toppled over with him and nearly buried him as he sprawled on the slippery floor. This seemed a huge joke to all the others and they screamed with laughter at "Old Smartie," as they called him, and poured more bundles down on him, just as though they were having a pillow-fight.
"No, the fish wouldn't," repeated Laddie, "for I'd let go just as soon as it began to tug." "Smartie!" said Phillis to her brother. "You can't fool these Bunker boys. Let Laddie alone." Of course the troop of white children, walking down the cart path to Mammy June's, was followed by a troop of colored children.
We'll help you eat your old candy when we come back. "Maybe it will be all gone by that time," said Heavy, slily. "I wish you joy of it, then, Miss Smartie," returned Isadore, chuckling. "Come on, fellows." They seized their skates and ran away. Isadore could hardly talk for laughter; and he carried a good sized paper bag besides his share of the popcorn balls.
