But Drew dodged his swing, and having all the push of his descent of the plank behind the straight-arm jolt he landed on the other's jaw, the impact was terrific. "Whee!" yelled the second officer of the Normandy, leaning on the rail, an interested spectator. "That's a soaker!" Others came running to the scene. A fight will bring a crowd quicker than any other happening.
Here was the hotel for the rendezvous. Mary out of breath, "Rachel! Hello! Wait a minute. Whee! What do you think you're doing? Pulling off a track meet or something? Been tryin' to catch up to you for an hour." Rachel looked at her. She was a golden-haired monkey full of words. "Charlie's at the Red Cat." A man. "We're going to lunch there. What in God's name's the matter with you?"
"Whee! do you really think so, Hugh?" he muttered, as though trying to grasp what all this might stand for, and yet hardly able to comprehend its full significance. After all their talk, however, they were really no nearer a solution of the matter in the end than when they started to discuss it.
"Next year we're going to have skates," announced Twaddles importantly. "Daddy said so." Before they reached the pond, however, all ill feelings were forgotten, and the sight of the glassy oval, well-filled with skaters, completely restored the four little Blossoms to their usual good humor. "Whee!" cried Dot, skipping with excitement. "Look how smooth! Let's make a slide, Twaddles."
"Now, you'll want to hear what sort of time we've met with, Toby," he said; "and how we had to hand over the laurel wreath of victory to one old mother cat that somehow seemed averse to letting us go ahead." "A cat!" ejaculated Toby, and then he looked wise; "Guess you must mean a lynx, don't you, Jack, and with whelps in the bargain. Whee!"
Then Daddy Dorn took two large handfuls of golden pennies from the golden penny box and they watched the box fill up with pennies again. "Whee!" cried Dickie Dorn. "Whee!" cried Mamma Dorn, and "Whee!" cried Daddy Dorn. "We will give a party!" So Dickie drove around to everybody's house in his pony cart and invited everybody to come to the party.
And then immediately after, whee! up a fresh "mountain." This is the way we treat the good old times nowadays. Was not that road, in its day, built to lengthen life? There you could ponder over your existence, for your little horses, like peripatetic philosophers, pushed onward with bobbing heads, laboriously and slowly, slowly. Ah, but it is a beautiful road, beautiful!
And again, "Whee!" And once more, "Whee!" The million pigtails shook more wildly each time until, at the last, the million little Chinamen rose up from their hiding-places under the bushes, and came running from all over the fields like the inhabitants of a great city running to a fire.
'Ikky-boy lets loose of Buddy's collar and stares at me impish. "Young man," says I severe, "I want you to lay off that slang stuff. Ditch it. It ain't lady like or refined. And in future when you converse with your parents see that you do it respectful and proper. Get me?" At which 'Ikky-boy looks bored. "Whee!" he remarks boisterous, makin' a grab for Buddy's stubby tail and missin' it.
Again, in addition to the shriek of the Martin, there was the note which it utters when on the wing in pursuit of its food. There was also the chirrup of the Greenfinch, and the whee, whee, whee which is the climax of the Linnet's song, by which it is so irresistible as a call-bird, and which appears to bring down the flock in spite of themselves.
