"I'm hungry right now." "So'm I," added his sister. "But they'll call us to supper pretty soon." The children always eagerly waited for the colored waiter to come through the coaches rumbling out in his bass voice: "First call fo' supper in de dinin'-car!" Or he might say "dinner" or "breakfast," or make it the "last call," just as it happened.
"They're going to have airships and a balloon at the fair, Charlie Mason says, and maybe I can go up in the balloon. Wouldn't that be great, Nan?" "I'm not going up in any balloon!" "I am!" decided Bert, as if that was all there was to it. "An' I'm going to ride on a lion!" cried Flossie. "So'm I!" chimed in her brother Freddie.
"Why, Ann, my Tom's had a gardener's job offered him at a gentleman's mansion in the country. Tom went after it t'day an' got it. Fifteen dollars a week an' a cottage free, Ann! Hazel's just crazy with joy an' so'm I!" Mrs. Trapes fanned herself feebly with her apron. "All I can say is," said she faintly, "if the world don't come to an end soon I shall. A gardener's job! A cottage in th' country!
"Yes we are Americans." "I knew it I can always tell them. What ship did you come over in?" "Oh, yes Inman line. We came in the BATAVIA Cunard you know. What kind of a passage did you have?" "Pretty fair." "That was luck. We had it awful rough. Captain said he'd hardly seen it rougher. Where are you from?" "New Jersey." "So'm I. No I didn't mean that; I'm from New England.
"I think our parents must skate the best of all the people in the world," said Kat. "I'm going to some day," said Kit. "So'm I," said Kat. After a while Vrouw Vedder said, "It's time to go home. Not too much the first time." So they all went back home with their cheeks as red as roses, and their noses too, and such an appetite for dinner! But the Twins were a little lame next day.
But 'Enery's own captain arrived here and interrupted the flow of admiration, cursing the grinning and sheepish private for a this, that, and the other crazy, play-acting idiot, and winding up abruptly by shaking hands with him and saying gruffly, "Good work, though. B Company's proud of you, and so'm I."
A few minutes later the two were alone in the new professor's recitation-room. "Have you seen Marjorie and Gray?" The lad hesitated. "I seed I saw 'em when they come in." "Gray finishes my course this year. He's going to be a civil engineer." "So'm I," said Jason; and the quick shortness of his tone again made John Burnham look keenly at him.
"Yes! an' if you hadn't slung that chain ashore you wouldn't have tumbled into the water," admitted Don. "Say, Don, how do you s'pose those logs are kept under water?" asked Dot, wondering about her escape. After a few moments silence, Dot said, "Don, I guess I'm just a little bit cold. These things won't dry out here!" "So'm I let's go home!" So the two trudged home, cold, forlorn, and hungry.
Don't you think so?" "Great Scott!" gasped Si, "you couldn't be walkin' around with the side of your head knocked out. I'm astonished at you." "So'm I," returned Alf placidly. "I'm surprised that I'm doing as well as I am. But I gave myself good attendance, and that's a great thing. I'm awful hungry. Got anything to eat? Where's my haversack?" "Here it is," said Si, readily.
So'm I. I've been looking him over for myself, because I ain't as strong for Charlie Dorenwald as I might be, even if he's foreman. He talks so damn much Bolshevik, somehow. Of course, the country's rotten, but it's ours! Still and all, I'll tell you what I'll do, Sis, with you!"
