The situation was an unusual one, the missile was a delicious morsel, and was nothing more nor less than what he had demanded.

But still it had been thrown at him and Keekie Joe elected to consider it as a shot fired by the enemy.
"Whatcher chuckin' things at me fer ?" he demanded, descending from the fence and approaching Pee-wee with a terrible look of menace.

He had been careful, however, to pick the jawbreaker up and put it in his mouth.
"Didn't you say you wanted one ?" Pee-wee asked.

"Didn't you just put it in your mouth ?" "Never you mind wot I done," said Keekie Joe.
