"Meaning the life in the next world?" questioned Benson. "Yes." "I sometimes give a good deal of thought to it," Jack confessed. "Then where do you expect to go, when the time comes?" "Why?" "After the whoppers you told that officer?" "I didn't tell him even a single tiny fib," protested Jack, indignantly. "Oh, you George Washington!" choked Eph Somers. "Well, I didn't," insisted Jack.
"And a bit of lead at the end?" "Yes, Tom, a sounding-lead with a great bullet, which they left at the bottom when they pulled the line in again." "Think o' that, now!" cried Tom. "Why, I was wondering whether a fellow couldn't go down in a diving-bell and see what the bottom was like, and look at the fishes say, Mas'r Harry, some of 'em must be whoppers."
Well As long as I can sit and play pinochle with Bea, and tell whoppers to Olaf about his daddy's adventures in the woods, and how he snared a wapaloosie and knew Paul Bunyan, why, I don't mind being a bum. It's just for them that I mind. Say! Say! Don't whisper a word to Bea, but when I get this addition done, I'm going to buy her a phonograph!" He did.
You are getting us all in an awful mess over it, and father is rector here, and mother is his wife, and I am his son, and you are his niece, and it is downright mean. Why do you tell such whoppers? Out with it!" Content was trembling violently. "I lived with Aunt Eudora," she whispered. "Well, what of that? Other folks have lived with their aunts and not told whoppers."
No, nor the old ones either; for only the stanchest old "salts" of Montauk or New London would have felt altogether at home in "The Swallow" that afternoon. "I guess I wouldn't fish any more," said Dab at last. "You've caught ten times as many now as we ever thought of catching. Some of them are whoppers too." "Biggest fishing ever I did," said Ford, as if that meant a great deal.
As we have seen, he loved to exaggerate when telling things, yet with it all Whopper, so called, was as truthful as anybody. As Snap said, "you could always tell Whopper's whoppers a mile off," which I think was something of a whopper in itself, don't you? The youngest lad of the four was Will Gaslette, always called Billy or Giant.
Why, when I was in Brussels " "Oh, come now, Hollie, you never were in Brussels, you know," said the younger Worcester girl. "What of that, Millicent?" demanded Hollanden. "This is autobiography." "Well, I don't care, Hollie. You tell such whoppers." With a gesture of despair he again started away; whereupon the Worcester girls shouted in chorus, "Oh, I say, Hollie, come back! Don't be angry.
I was Johnny-on-the-spot, an' I nailed 'm eight whoppers the whole outfit of a mountain teamster. Young animals, sound as a-dollar, and the lightest of 'em over fifteen hundred. I shipped 'm last night from Calistoga. An', well, that ain't all. "Before that, first day, at Lawndale, I seen the fellow with the teamin' contract for the pavin'-stone quarry. Sell horses! He wanted to buy 'em.
Sprott's children told them REGULAR every day, and cross their hearts too. I s'pose Paul Irving never tells whoppers and here I've been trying awful hard to be as good as him, but now I s'pose you'll never love me again. But I think you might have told me it was wrong. I'm awful sorry I've made you cry, Anne, and I'll never tell a whopper again."
