Then we wrote all these letters down and mixed them all up and arranged them every which way, till we got this name: RESOPEKITWAFTENLY Oh, boy, some laugh we had over that name. We were all sitting around in the two cabin rooms and believe me, it was some giggling match. "It sounds like a Bolshevik name," Westy Martin said.
"We don't need any platform," Peewee shouted; "haven't we got the table?" "It's better to stand on the table than to stand on ceremonies," Dorry Benton vociferated. "Sure, or to stand on our dignity like Tomasso Slade," Westy Martin shouted. "Put away your hammer, stop knocking," Doc said. "Are we going to hike to-morrow or are we going to the city?" "Answered in the affirmative," Roy said.
You can see about where it is. Several other boats went down there with us. Westy was in one of them and I made him come in our boat, because now that Bert was gone, maybe dead, and Skinny, too, I just felt as if I'd like to have one of my patrol near me I just felt that way. Besides, Westy was my special chum and after all I liked him best of any.
He called Skinny a birthday present, because Westy Martin and I gave Skinny to the Elks when we first found him. "I suppose you think we were after that two hundred, too. Well, you can take your little birthday present back. It was a lemon. We got stung." "If you got what you deserved," I said, "you'd get more than stung." He said, "Yes?" "Yes," I said "Y e s yes!
"Too bad he can't talk," Westy said, sort of jollying me. "I can talk," I said. Then after a minute I laid, "It's about the Elk patrol, too." He didn't say any more and pretty soon we got to the troop-room that's in the Public Library. We were a little late, but I wanted it that way, so we wouldn't have any talk with anyone before the meeting started.
"When we begin going down hill," I said, all the while winking at Westy, "she'll go easier, thank goodness." "We'll have to put on the brakes," Westy said. "Do you know why they talk about towing lumber?" I asked Pee-wee; "because it's measured by the foot." "You're crazy!" he shouted. "Just the same as when they use it for back fences, it's measured by the yard," Westy said, all sober like.
"Did you ever hear of anybody rolling up?" the young hero demanded. "Sure," said Roy; "didn't you ever roll up and go to sleep? You never rolled down, and went to sleep, did you? That shows what you know about geometry." "That's not geometry," Pee-wee shouted. "I took geometry last year." "It's about time you put it back," Roy called. "Look out or you'll take another tumble," Westy added.
That same elusive, half-bashful, pleasant smile lingered on the stranger's lips again as he said, " I guess not " "Then I can beat you," Pee-wee announced conclusively. "Here comes the bus," Westy said. "Do you go up in that?" "I guess I'll walk," Blythe said. "Well, we'll be up there to-morrow, sure," Doc Carson reassured him; "some of us anyway.
'Champagne wafers, ten pounds. I'm fond of those. But that is the only time I broke my rule. See 'flour, two pounds; roast beef, two pounds, and so on. Oh, I mean to be quite systematic in my housekeeping!" "Isn't she a wonder?" asks Westy, gazin' at her proud and mushy. "I say, though, Vee," goes on Doris enthusiastic, "you must come home with us for dinner to-night. Do!"
"Hallo, Amherst trying to get under cover?" Westy jovially accosted him, with a significant gesture toward the crowded lawn from which the new-comer had evidently fled. "I was just telling Miss Brent that this is the safest place on these painful occasions Oh, confound it, it's not as safe as I thought! Here's one of my sisters making for me!"
