"That'll settle the biggest problem before us." "Yes," Cub agreed. "You're a regular Thomas Edison, Jr., Tee-hee. I think we'll have to elect you captain of this expedition." "If we make it," Bud conditioned with a slightly skeptical grin. "My opinion, if it's worth anything to you guys," said Cub; "is that we'd better map out our plan thoroughly before we say anything about it to our fathers.
"Tee-hee! Tee-hee! Tee-hee!" chirruped both Chee and Chirk, so amused at the funny tangle of legs in which the Walking Stick was, that they forgot to run away. Now the "Parson's" long legs made great strides, and before they knew what had happened Chee was being soundly beaten. "Whack! Whack! Whack!" went the Walking Stick on his little shiny black back.
Cub 'u'd drown us out with his voice if we hollered. You know you made 'im admit once that noise was the only thing that 'u'd convince him." "You c'n change that now and call it static instead of noise since we've all become radio experts," smirked Cub with characteristic superiority. "Ha, ha," laughed Bud. "Tee-hee," tittered Hal.
As an example, an "eye-shot" does not commend itself as a substitute for "a glance," and "to tee-hee" for "to giggle" grates somewhat upon the ear, though the authority of Chaucer might be cited for the expressions. Next in order is his extraordinary faculty for the use of pithy similes, which arrest the attention and stimulate the imagination.
"Oh you can laugh all you want to, Tee-hee, but if it hadn't been for my slingshot, we wouldn't have any prisoner at all right now," Bud flung back with a suggestion of resentment. "Yes, we must give Bud credit for all he's done," Mr. Perry agreed. "We owe a good deal to his ingenuity." "We ought to take our prisoner over to Rockport and put him in jail," suggested Mr. Baker.
"How cunnin'!" says I. "Why, they'd make the Rock of Ages look like a loose front tooth. And all I got to do is pull 'em up by the roots, one at a time. Ha, ha! Likewise, tee-hee!" It sized up like a bad case of bee bite with me at the wrong end of the stinger. Still, I was just mulish enough to stick around.
There were many country fellows with their maids in the crowd, that turned their heads at this address; and as usual the women began. "Tis Joan o' the Tor!" "Joan's picked up wi' a sweetheart tee-hee! an' us reckoned her'd forsworn mankind!" "Who is he?" "Some furriner, sure: that likes garlic." "He's bought her no ribbons yet."
"Aw tee-hee!" she said, wiping at her upper lip. "Here!" She regarded the foam sing down into amber quiet. "I'm on the water-wagon," she said, essaying to be light of vein, crossing her hands and feet and tilting her glance at him. "Say, here's a girl won't blow the foam off a fellow's glass for fear she'll get soapsuds in her eyes!" "Wash her face with 'em!"
"Yes, it's the only thing that convinces me," Cub shot back rashly. He realized his rashness, but it was too late. Tee-hee "got" him. "I understand you now," the sly youth announced. "Whenever we have a dispute, the only way for me to win is to make a bigger noise than you do." But Cub was not slow, and he evened matters up by roaring: "You can't do it; you ain't got the lungs."
All the rest of the evening she would point her finger at him and start again to tee-hee. A was much annoyed.
