"Who wants to guess? What about Captain Killam?" "That's just it," says I. "He's flitted." "Wha-a-at!" snorts Old Hickory. "You don't mean he has gone?" "Uh-huh!" says I. "Been lured away.
"And you with your suit-case all packed too," says I. "How provokin'! But they're apt to change their minds, you know." "Do you mean," says he, "that er ah " "Something like that," I breaks in.

"Wha-a-at?" he gasps.
Positively, positively, I advise you, young man, to pay a visit to the CHATEAU DES FLEURS, to the Tivoli, and also to ride out to the island. That's something special. What women, wha-a-at women!" The lieutenant turned red, took his eyes away, and asked in a voice that quavered: "Yes, I've happened to hear that. Is it possible that they're really so handsome?" "Oi! Strike me God!
"Torchy, I'm married!" "Wha-a-at!" I splutters. "Who to? When?" "To Sis," says he, "half an hour ago." "Eh?" says I. "Mean to say you've been and eloped with the Senator's daughter?" "Eloped!" says he, as though he'd never heard the word before. "Why, no er that is, we just went out and and " Oh, no, they hadn't eloped!
"Tell us what you know without digressions," said the Fiscal; "no use will be made of your evidence save in pursuing and bringing to justice the criminal."

That's what I'm goin' to soak my share into." "Your share?" says he. "But I didn't understand that you " "Vee and I helped locate the treasure mound," I explains, "and got counted in just in time. And say, the best is yet to come. It's goin' to be Vee and me for keeps pretty soon." "Wha-a-at!" says he. "You've won over Auntie?" "Right and regular," says I. "Vee's wearin' the ring." Say, Mr.
But I say, uncle, I do hope they'll escape; don't you?" "Wha-a-at!" "You do, uncle, only you pretend that you don't." "Pretend!" "Yes. Poor fellows! How horrible! To have to stoop to such a scheme as that to get away! But after all, uncle, it's glorious and brave. What an escape! Oh, how I should like to meet that poor fellow again!"
"There is no reason in the world why you should," replied Mrs. Barrows. "But it was not until last winter that I discovered the trick that had been put upon us." "Ah?" said Willis. "Trick?" "Yes," said Mrs. Barrows. "It was a trick. The car was empty to your eyes, but crowded to mine with the astral bodies of the members of the Boston Theosophical Society." "Wha-a-at?" roared Willis.

"If the pig had been a bomb, and its tail a time-fuse," says I, "it would have wrecked our main works. As it, is, we've had a narrow escape. But I don't think Cecil will bother us any more. He's too good for the army, anyway. He ought to be writin' for the movies."
