At the far end of the room was a table for the chairman and the committee, and to the left stood a piano. Everyone had now sat down except the chairman, who was apparently not in the room. There was a pause. Then a man from the audience whooped sharply and clambered over the table and into the place of the chairman. He tapped twice with the mallet. "Get out of that chair," yelled various voices.
Whereupon they whooped the louder, bent double, some of them with mirth. "Say! If I was drunk that night, I'd say so," Casey exploded finally. "What the hell what's the matter with you rabbits? You think Casey Ryan has got to the point where he's scared to tell what he done and all he done? Lemme tell yuh, anything Casey does he ain't afraid to tell about!
Margaret began to cry. Archibald, dear, whooped and kicked the furniture. And just then the front-door bell rang. "For a minute I thought 'twas Cousin Harriet and the Holdens come back, but then I knew it was hours too early for that. Margaret was too much upset to be fit for company, so I answered the bell myself.
Lonesome had gained a p'int or two, and Todd wa'n't more'n four pitchforks in the lead. "Make for the launch!" I whooped, between my hands. The parson heard me and come about and broke for the shore. The Greased Lightning had swung out about the length of her anchor rope, and the water wa'n't deep. Todd splashed in to his waist and climbed aboard.
The observant regiment, standing at rest in the roadway, whooped at once, and entered whole-souled upon the side of the maiden. The men became so engrossed in this affair that they entirely ceased to remember their own large war. They jeered the piratical private, and called attention to various defects in his personal appearance; and they were wildly enthusiastic in support of the young girl.
General Knox of the 12th Brigade and General Macdonald of the Highlanders were among the wounded. Colonel Aldworth of the Cornwalls died at the head of his men. A bullet struck him dead as he whooped his West Countrymen on to the charge. Eleven hundred killed and wounded testified to the fire of our attack and the grimness of the Boer resistance.
I could have whooped for joy when I elicited something particularly incisive about the ignorance of the masses. "I do hope you agree with me," said Miss Milton. "The more one reads and thinks, the more one sees how fatally false a theory it is that the ignorant masses people such as I have described can ever rule a great Empire."
"She saidt dot you was goin' to marry me undt' get the farm." Claude grinned, then chuckied, and at last roared and whooped with the delight of it. He took off his hat and said: "She said that, did she? Why, bless her old cabbage head-" The opening of the door and the sudden irruption of Frau Haldeman interrupted him.
"He does not!" Master Bitts returned angrily. "He doesn't do anything. He's just got 'em. He's got forty-one guitars." "Yay!" Sam whooped, and jumped up and down. "Listen to Roddy Bitts makin' up lies!" "You look out, Sam Williams!" said Roddy threateningly. "You look out how you call me names!" "What name'd I call you?" "You just the same as said I told lies.
A second, and into the loose skirts of the crowd came charging helter-skelter, pell-mell, a score of galloping, shrieking, cursing horsemen, attended by twice as many footmen, who clung to their stirrups or to the tails of the horses, and yelled and whooped, and struck in unison with the maddened riders. "On! on!" the foremost shrieked, rolling in his saddle, and foaming at the mouth.
