I am like a well, into which men drop things and never see them any more." "You are a fine rascal, I can see that clearly! So you think that Allah is cooking up evil, do you? Tee-hee! That is an original idea, and there may be something in it. Let us hope there is something in it for us two, at all events. Now, as to that fellow Ramsden " "Avoid him unless he is drunk," advised Jeremy.
Dashing headlong down the street, I was going I knew not where, when suddenly Henrietta's vacuous "tee-hee" rang out in the darkness and echoed among the iron girders of the elevated trestle; and, looking ahead of me, I saw her in the light of the corner gas-jet coming toward me, a man on either side of her, and all three evidently in the best of spirits.
"We c'n go camping or fishin', or we c'n stay at home and listen in." "Oh, you haven't got any invention in that head o' yours, Bud," declared Cub with tone of disgust. "Tee-hee, take your turn and see if you can't hand us somethin'." "Aw, why don't you furnish some brains for us, Cub," Bud objected with spirit. "I never knew you to yet.
He seldom started an argument, unless his disposition to "bawl" somebody out for uttering a, to him, foolish opinion, he regarded as a starter. He seldom spoke first, but usually last. One day he "bawled" Tee-hee for the latter's "silly laugh", telling him that he would never be a man unless he learned to "laugh from his lungs". "You seem to like a lot of noise," Hal observed.
"You ought to heard, mamma, that fellow over in the specs, when he gimme the test for the glasses." "What?" "Tee-hee! it sounds silly to repeat it." "You got the Schump eyes, Stella. I always used to say, with his big blue ones, your poor father ought to been a girl, too."
My advice is to get out of here as soon as possible." "Where'll we go?" asked Mr. Perry. "We'll decide that after we get away. If you want to keep your prisoner, don't stay here." "Dad's got his automatic yet," Cub reminded with youthful confidence in a chamber full of shells. "And I've got my slingshot," chimed in Bud. "Tee-hee," laughed Hal.
"You might 'ave let me get my vote in." "It wasn't needed, it wasn't needed," Cub ruled. "Two's a majority of three." "I'm going to vote for it anyway. I think his idea is a dandy." "Your vote is accepted and recorded as surplus noise." "Static, you mean," Bud suggested with modest sarcasm. "To be up to date, yes." "Tee-hee," laughed Tee-hee. Tragedy or Joke?
"Well, what's your idea, Tee-hee?" the operator demanded with something of a tone of business challenge. "Why, all we need is a radio compass," Hal replied. "You know I made one last summer, although I didn't have much use for it. We can install it on the boat and make a bee line for that fellow's island if he keeps his spark busy to guide us." "Good!" exclaimed Bud.
"I do not," the tall youth replied positively. "Why not?" Hal persisted. "Doesn't it satisfy your lordship?" "Cut it out, Tee-hee," the alleged "lordship" ordered. "You make me sore." "Then I'll rub on some salve." "If you do, you'll get your fingers burnt," Cub retorted. "I always thought you were a hot one. But that doesn't answer the question before us."

And she sat down and showed him that she had brought a package of tobacco with her, and actually a wonder of a red and yellow jar to hold it, at the sight of which unheard-of joys his rapture was so great that his trembling hands could scarcely clasp his treasures.
