"Give me the whip," I whispered.
"What for ?" he growled.
"You give me the whip," I whispered; and I took it from his hand, trotted on to the side of the cart, and then reaching up, gave a cut over the top of the load.
"Stash that!" shouted a voice; and then, as I lashed again, "You leave off, will yer?
You'll get something you don't like." "Woa, Bony!" roared Ike with such vehemence that the horse stopped short, and there, kneeling on the top of the high load of baskets, we could dimly see a well-known figure, straw-hat and all.
"You want me to come down, an' 'it you ?" he cried, writhing.
"Here, give me that whip," cried Ike fiercely.

"How did you come there ?" "Got up," said Shock sulkily.
"Who told you to come ?" "No one.

He's come, ain't he ?" "That's no reason why you should come.

Get down, you young dog!" "Sha'n't!" "You give's holt o' that whip, and I'll flick him down like I would a fly." "No, no; don't hurt him, Ike," I said, laughing.

"What were you making that noise for, Shock ?" "He calls that singing," cried Ike, spitting on the ground in his disgust.
