"Whatever Mum-Merry says, gug-gug-gug-gug----" "Are you trying to say goshfry ?" Danny mildly asked, wetting the end of an unlighted cigarette.
"Gug-goes!" sputtered Gamp, giving Danny a kick that fairly lifted him from the floor.

"You mum-mum-mum-measly runt, I'll kuk-kill you!" "Because he's a joker, Danny thinks he is the only card in the pack!" said Dismal.
"If Merry says we can go into that game next Saturday with Badger in the box and earth the wipe--I mean wipe the earth with those fellows from Hartford, we can do it!" Rattleton declared emphatically.

"You know he wouldn't say such a thing if he wasn't sure of it." "There are only two absolutely sure things, death and taxes," said Merriwell soberly.

"If I put too much emphasis on my belief, I'll have to withdraw it.

I mean to say that I believe we can." "And that's about the same as saying that we can!" Rattleton asserted.
"I'm only doubtful about Bart," said Dismal, like a prophet of evil.
"He will never catch for Badger!" Diamond declared.
"I think he will!" sputtered Rattleton.
