I'd rather have Aunt Jane and Miss Ramsay than this horrid room and oh, Diana! my tumtum has got a big hole in it again." "And mine has too," answered Diana. "I could eat a whole loaf, that I could." "Hush!" whispered Orion; "somebody's coming. Oh, come close to me, Diana!" "Now, you isn't to be fwightened, little boy," said Diana. "I is near you, and I isn't fwightened of nobody."
"Oh, my tumtum," said Orion, pressing his hand to that part of his little body with great solemnity. "How soon will the supper be over? and how soon can we get back home?" asked Diana. "That depends on where your home is, my pretty little dear," said Mother Rodesia. "It's at Wectory, stoopid woman." "I don't know that place, miss." "Don't you know my Uncle William Dolman?"
"You are a very naughty little boy," said Miss Ramsay. "I think him a brick," whispered Philip to Conrad. "Hush, for goodness' sake!" whispered back Conrad. "I want to go to bed," repeated Orion. "I'm drefful sick; I'm quite tired of telling you. I have got a headache and a pain in my tumtum." Again he pressed his hand to his stomach and looked imploringly around him.
A man's body being a great storehouse of psycho-mechanical processes and habits makes his mind react automatically, and when some one calls him a fool or acts with him as if possibly he might have moments of being fooled about himself, the man's whole nature like a spring snaps his mind back into self-defense, and instead of being grateful and thoughtful as a rational or second-thought person always is, he lets his subconscious self take hold of him, tumtum him along into showing everybody how perfect he is.
Now, among the Indians, when you covet your neighbor's wife, or have been too familiar with her, and you are caught with the goods, you do not fly into a far country for fear of your life. You still hang around, and the worst you can get is perhaps a pounding from the jealous neighbor; and the sweet environment is worth the risk. Johnny's skookum tumtum was somewhat out of commission for a while.
Hias Peter did not return that evening, and the next day Johnny was at the works with greater cannonading, and with more skookum tumtum than ever, and this time he was braver. He was just on the point of putting his arm around the keeka's waist when the door opened and Peter darkened the opening.
They surged up the coulée, emerging on the higher bench land by the trail. "Look here, Tom," said Dunne, "what did you want to do the shooting for back there? Afraid I'd get rattled and hit somebody?" McHale grinned in the darkness. "Not hardly. Mostly, Casey, you mamook tumtum a heap you look ahead and savvy plenty. You're foolish the way an old dog fox is. But onct in a while you overlook a bet.
My tumtum is that he's somewheres down along this valley." "Good reasoning," Casey admitted. "The way to see a man down in a hole is to look over the edge," said the sheriff; "and the way to find a man in a valley is to get up on a hill.
This ain't your show, nohow, and you've got your folks to think of." "Do you think I'm a yellow dog, or what?" Sandy snapped back, glaring at him. "Quit? I think I see myself. I'll smash this Dade's belt buckle right now." He lifted his rifle. "Hold on," said McHale. "This kid is some obstinate," he called to Dade. "His tumtum is that he'll stick. I don't want him in it."
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
