“There’s a bunch came from Brooklyn——”
“Can you blame them?” interrupted Roy again.
“And a troop from Canada——”
“Daon’tcher knaow,” interrupted Roy, with an exaggerated imitation of the English accent.
“Gee, that’s some troop,” said Doc. “They came from Montreal and they wear trousers that don’t tuck in and show part of their legs and they wear little silver swastika badges that they get for special service. They look awfully different from the other fellows——”
“They showed us how to raise the English flag,” said Pee-wee, excitedly. “Maybe you think the English flag hasn’t got any top and bottom to it. Anybody can tell when the American flag is upside down——”
“Well, I should hope so,” said Mr. Ellsworth.
“And maybe you think because the English flag has a center design that you can’t fly it upside down—— There’s where you’re wrong!”
“I don’t see that any of us is wrong since none of us has committed that crime,” laughed Mr. Ellsworth. “We’re not in the habit of flying the British flag at all.”
“I did,” boasted Pee-wee.
