"I'm sure I don't know what that means," says she; "but I am quite ready to try." "Oh, let's!" says Vee, clappin' her hands. "I can help." "And Ferdie is a splendid sailor," chimes in. Marjorie. "He's crossed a dozen times." "Then we're off," says Mr. Robert. And inside of ten minutes the club launch has landed us, bag and baggage, on the Pyxie.
And you better report at the house before you put up the machine. They may want to be goin' somewhere." I'd heard Uncle Kyrle speak of promisin' to make a call on someone he'd met lately that he'd known abroad. As for me, I just strolls up and down two or three blocks, takin' a chance that Vee might drift out. But I sticks around near an hour without any luck. "Huh!" says I to myself at last.
"That tallies with Captain Killam's description," says he. "Why?" "Well," I goes on, "a little while before we located you we passed one like that. Don't you remember, Vee?" "That's so," says Vee; "we did. I know right where it is, too." "We might take a glance at it," says Old Hickory. "Killam, give Miss Verona the wheel."
But one tires of hotel life. Thank goodness, our house is ready at last. We moved in a week ago." "Oh!" says Vee. "Then you're housekeeping?" Doris nods. "It's quite thrilling," says she. "At ten-thirty every morning I have the butler bring me Cook's list. Then I 'phone for the things myself. That is, I've just begun. Let me see, didn't I put in to-day's order in my yes, here it is."
"Why, how comfy you are here, aren't you?" says Vee, gazin' around. "Ye-e-es, aren't we?" says Lucy Lee, a bit draggy. If you've ever made one of these flathouse first calls you can fill in the rest for yourself.
We'd started him that way, and he seemed to like the taste of me 'specially. "They're one-man dogs, you know," says Vee. "Meanin'," says I, "that they like to chew one man at a time. See my right wrist. Looks like I'd shoved it through a pane of glass. Hey, you tarrier! Lay off me for a minute, will you? For the love of soup eat something else. Here's a slipper. Now go to it."
Of course, if at any time see reason alter your opinion. Always at your service. No offence, I hope. All right! I'm off. Due to play hockey. Jackson's. Horrid snorters! So long, Vee! Just suggested it. See? Nothing really. Passing thought." "Teddy," said Ann Veronica, "you're a dear!" "Oh, quite!" said Teddy, convulsively, and lifted an imaginary hat and left her. Part 3
What struck me as kind of odd, though, was his jumpin' away from the door of the lodge as the car swung in and the fact that he had a basket covered with a white cloth. "Huh!" says I, more or less to myself. "What's the matter?" asks Vee. "Seeing things in the moonlight?" "Thought I did," says I. "Didn't you, there by the gate!" "Oh, yes," says she. "Some lilac bushes."
The arrangement of the cylinders in Vee form over the crankshaft, enabling the pistons of each pair of opposite cylinders to act upon the same crank pin, permits of a very short, compact engine being built, and also permits of reduction of the weight per horsepower, comparing this with that of the vertical type of engine, with one row of cylinders.
"One of the silly things I've learned from you," says Vee, lowerin' her eyelids fetchin', "is to to take a chance." "Vee!" says I, startin' to dash around the table. "Hush!" says she, wavin' me hack. "Here come your eggs." Say, what went on durin' the rest of the day I couldn't tell.
