"Gee, I feel sorry for these people," said Archer; "they'rre surre up against it. Makes me feel as if I'd like to have one good whack at Kaiser Bill " "Well, don't talk so loud and we'll get a whack at him, all right." "I'd like to get his old double-jointed moustache for a sooveneerr." "There you go again," said Tom.
"They'll try to do the bossing even afterr they'rre licked. Treaties! They've got theirr firrst taste of a Yankee treaty, hey? Didn't even have a sworrd and wanted me to think they werre doin' us a favorr! President Wilson knows how to handle that bunch, all right, all right! Don't row if you'rre tirred." "It don't hurt my leg to row, only I see now I couldn't swim it."
But I was a little over-het. Ye see, this place is kind o' noted for for This place is called 'Snugglers' Roost. Nobody comes here this time 'thout they'rre a little aff, and we has arders to look out for 'em." "I am glad I had two such defenders," said Lois, innocently. "I'm always glad to meet Mr. Keith's friends and his inimies too," said the sergeant, taking off his helmet and bowing.
They could only stand and stare at each other. Some one had evidently taken their coats away in the night. "It's Gerrman efficiency, that's what it is," said Archer. "Why didn't they take us, too?" Tom asked. "They'll be along forr us pretty soon," Archer reassured him. "They'rre superrmen that's what they arre. Maybe it's some kind of strategy, hey? They can do spooky things, those Huns.
"Pretty soon one of us will be all in and then it'll be harder for the other. We've got to get out, no matter what." "Therre may be a Gerrman soldierr within ten feet of us now," Archer said. "They'rre probably around in this vineyarrd somewherre, anyway. If we tried to forrce it open they'd hearr us." "We couldn't force it, anyway," Tom said.
"Think I didn't know that?" said Archer. "I got to admit you did fine," said Tom. "You got to get 'em down on theirr knees beforre you make a treaty with 'em," boasted Archer. "You can see yourself they'rre no good when they haven't got any commanderr or any arrms. When Uncle Sam makes a treaty with that gang, crab-apples, but I hope he gets the boat, too."
And turning to his companion he poured a kind of guttural volley at him, which his comrade answered with a brisk return of heavy verbal fire. Archer, listening intently and using his very rudimentary knowledge of German, gathered that whoever and whatever these two were, they were themselves in the perilous business of escaping. "They'rre in the same box as we are," he said to Tom. "Don't worry."
