Thar's one in the yard, and, if you'll believe it, she's got one of Cary's rotary pumpin' things, that folks are runnin' crazy about, and every hot day she keeps John a-turnin' the injin' to squirt the water all over the yard, and make it seem like a thunder shower! Thar's a bathroom, and when them city folks is here some on 'em is a-washin' in thar all the time.
"I'd rather have an animal on board than let you have a gun. You might get shot." "I I could squirt water on 'em with my fire engine!" shouted Freddie, who had given up trying to make Snoop do any tricks. "Oh, we had enough of your engine, little fat fireman," said Mr. Bobbsey with a laugh. "Now then, if you're all ready, we'll move the boat."
"If I had my force pump I could show show 'em how to squirt water," said Cole, who had begun the first part of the sentence very fast, but who had to slow down on the last section. He was almost completely out of breath. "Why didn't you bring it along?" asked Bert. "Huh! How could I when it's fast on the cistern?" That argument was, of course, unanswerable.
Of course, when I use these words, I do not mean to apply them to La Carlotta, who sings like a squirt and who ought never to have been allowed to leave the Ambassadeurs and the Cafe Jacquin; nor to La Sorelli, who owes her success mainly to the coach-builders; nor to little Jammes, who dances like a calf in a field.
Chuu!" and he puffed out his cheeks, making a noise like an engine. "You must come here!" insisted Bert, making a spring toward his little brother. "I can't come back! Firemans never come back!" half screamed Freddie. "I'm going to squirt water on the bad gobble-obble bird that's biting my Snoop!"
Crofts accepted the challenge, and, being determined to persevere in his fun to the end, appeared on the battle ground armed only with a squirt. This raised a laugh, of course, but it did not tend much to cool the injured Lilliputian's anger. He sternly insisted on another meeting, and with real weapons.
"Oh, no!" exclaimed Freddie, his eyes big and round. "The gobbler was pinching our cat's tail, and Snoop was scratching the turkey. I had to squirt water on them to make them stop." "Oh, I see!" exclaimed Miss Burns with a jolly laugh. "Well, anyhow, my doll can open and shut her eyes," said Flossie. "So I don't care!" "That's enough of that scene," said Mr. Weston.
"If Umboo can't squirt any more water on us, maybe he can do something else to help us forget that it is so hot," said Gink, a funny little monkey, who had a very long tail. "What can he do, except squirt water on us?" asked Chako. "And I wish he'd do that again. It's the only thing to make us cooler." "No, I wasn't thinking of that, though I do like a little water," spoke Gink.
His mother made a little red coat for him, and he had his toy fire engine that pumped real water. "But you mustn't squirt it on anyone in the audience," cautioned Bert. "No, I'll just squirt it on the wild animals if they get bad," said the little fellow. Nan was to be a bare-back rider, and Harry had made her a wooden steed from a saw-horse, with rope for reins.
"Please, papa, see how sick he looks. Can't you buy one?" The gentleman opened his pocket-book, and gave his son fifty cents. "Use it as you please," he said, softly. All this time the newsboy had been making change for a coarse, rough-looking man who sat opposite, who was obliged to squirt a whole mouthful of tobacco juice out of his mouth, before he could say,
