"Cook," he called, beckoning to black Frank, "come here!" As the negro reluctantly obeyed, Roger pointed to the long gash that Kipping's bullet had cut in his kinky scalp. Crying again, "Bang-bang!" he pointed at one of the seeds in the boat and then at the cook.
So he and Uncle Wiggily ran down, and jumped into the motor boat. And they knew just how to start the engine and run it, for the boy had showed them. "Bang-bang!" went the engine. "Whizz-whizz!" went the boat through the water. "Faster! Faster!" cried Uncle Wiggily, who was steering the boat, while Rover ran the engine. "Go faster!"
For she had asked him who that woman was who had been so direct in her smiling salute. And he had not yet replied; probably never would; for she did not expect to ask him again. Meanwhile the bolo-men were rushing the outposts to the outposts' intense satisfaction. "Bang-bang!" repeated Winthrop; "I hit you, Uncle Philip. You are dead, you know!" "Yes, but here comes another! Fire!" shouted Billy.
Back and forth Arnold marched his two companies of Soldiers, firing the make-believe guns in regular bang-bang style. Sometimes he would pretend a Soldier was wounded, though, of course, none of them really was, and Mirabell would make the Red Cross Nurse Doll look after the injured.

"The philosophy of war is to prepare for it," mused the old man, with a jerk of his shoulders. "France! So the mutter runs. There is a Napoleon in France, but no Bonaparte. Clatter-clatter!

But, even when some of the ponies had run back as far as the corral gate they did not go in. Once again they turned around and would have galloped across the prairie again.
She touched her mare on the flank, and the four began trotting, a pace which they maintained as far as the military field. Here they paused, for the scene was animated and full of color. Squadrons of cavalry raced across the field; infantry closed in or deployed; artillery rumbled, wheeled, stopped, unlimbered. Bang-bang! The earth shivered and rocked.

He kep' on, an' of course I follows 'im an' the teams follows us. "I see there's a church tower in the town, Bombardier," he sez. "Does our road run near it?" 'I told him we 'ad to go through the square where the church stood.
"Vhen I sees you mit dose tumblers, I gives some big bang-bang, boom-boom, hey?" "I hope you will," responded Andy with a cheery laugh. He followed Billy Blow.
