“Yop, and I had a good time, too.”
“I’m glad you found it enjoyable,” said Emerson. “I enjoyed it, too. You’re certainly entertaining.”
“You ought to hear me when Roy Blakeley is trying to jolly me,” Pee-wee boasted. “I can handle the whole crowd of them.”
“I should like to hear you,” said Emerson.
“You will,” said Pee-wee. “Up in camp is where I handle that bunch. Remember you said you’d go.”
