[Roy Blakeley’s Adventures in Camp by Percy Keese Fitzhugh]@TWC D-Link bookRoy Blakeley’s Adventures in Camp CHAPTER IV 3/6
He asked the fellows if they'd like to meet a lot of bandits in real life, and they said, "_Good night_, no." And then he said it was funny how they liked to meet them in the movies and all the fellows had to admit it was crazy.
You wouldn't catch Mr.Ellsworth stopping us from going to the movies, but he always makes us feel silly afterward. Pretty soon Grove Bronson, who is one of the Raving Ravens, came up to me and gave me a newspaper with a whole lot of ears of corn in it, and said we were going to have it for Sunday dinner. Pee-wee said, "They're dandy big ears all right, and here's some cans of tongue." "Good night," I told him, "I thought we had tongue enough with you here." Oh, you ought to have seen little Skinny McCord laugh.
His face was all thin on account of his not being very strong and he never had much food until he got in with us, either.
But it was fun to see him laugh whenever we got back at Pee-wee. "There's some heads of cabbage, too," he said; "Doc's got them." "Heads and ears and tongues," I said; "you ought to have brought some potatoes, so we'd have eyes." He thinks I'm funny, but I just say those things to make him laugh, so as he'll feel good. Then I took all the stuff into the galley and put it in the food locker.
I was just crunching up the newspaper that they brought the corn in, and was going to throw it out of the window, when I saw a heading that read: _Fishermen Have Harrowing Adventure_.
