"NOW, I guess you won't say I'm not so much use any more! Squat down, Verman, so's they can't see you if they're huntin' for us.
That's one o' the rules--honest.

You got to squat when we tell you to." Verman was agreeable.

He squatted, and then began to laugh uproariously.
"Stop that noise!" Penrod commanded.

"You want to betray us?
What you laughin' at ?" "Ep mack im mimmup," Verman giggled.
"What's he mean ?" Sam asked.
Penrod was more familiar with Verman's utterance, and he interpreted.
"He says they'll get him back in a minute." "No, they won't.

I'd just like to see--" "Yes, they will, too," Penrod said.
