Dannie stared at him.
"She says," wheezed Jimmy, "that she guesses SHE wanted to go and hear the Bass splash, too!" Dannie's mouth fell open, and then closed with a snap.
"Us fra the fool killer!" he said.

"Ye dinna let her see ye laugh ?" "Let her see me laugh!" cried Jimmy.

"Let her see me laugh! I told her she wasn't to go for a few days yet, because we were sawin' the Kingfisher's stump up into a rustic sate for her, and we were goin' to carry her out to it, and she was to sit there and sew, and umpire the fishin', and whichiver bait she told the Bass to take, that one of us would be gettin' it.

And she was pleased as anything, me lad, and now it's up to us to rig up some sort of a dacint sate, and tag a woman along half the time.

You thick-tongued descindint of a bagpipe baboon, what did you sind me in there for ?" "Maybe a little of it will tire her," groaned Dannie.
"It will if she undertakes to follow me," Jimmy said.
