“Do you think I’d mind them?” Pee-wee shouted. “They think they’re having adventures, but they’re crazy.”
“I wouldn’t lower myself as you do,” Warde said.
“He thinks that’s a joke,” the kid said. “They start on a trip——”
“Don’t talk about trips,” I said. “Yours was the best one I ever saw.”
“Did you hurt yourself, kid?” Brent asked him.
I said, “Your stocking looks like a corkscrew.”
“Don’t pay any attention to them,” the girl said.
Pee-wee said, “I wouldn’t bother my head about them; come on and I’ll treat you to waffles.”
“Are we in on this?” I asked him.
