“He’s the hero of every day,” Brent said, “and the nights as well. Wait till you see him annihilate the jelly cones.”
Marjorie said, “Well, he’s going to have the chance because he deserves it. But are you sure the wasps can’t get out?” she asked us.
“Not as long as that plug stays in,” Pee-wee said. “But if anybody took it out——”
“Good gracious!” Marjorie said.
“We wouldn’t touch it,” Stella put in, just shuddering.
“Then they’d come out good and mad,” Pee-wee said. “They’d be mad because I circumvented them. See? But as long as it stays in there they’re foiled.”
“Just the same as if it were sealed with tinfoil,” I told her.
“Do you all promise not to touch it?” Stella asked us.
“Because I won’t be responsible for what they do, they’re all crazy,” Pee-wee said.
“They’ve got to promise,” Marjorie said. “Do you promise, Mr. Hervey Headstrong?” she asked.
