Dick: O, behave, you rascal!
Tom: Say, do you know what?
Dick: No; what?
Tom: What is worse than a giraffe with a sore throat?
Dick: Why, I can’t imagine anything worse. What is worse?
Tom: A centipede with the chilblains.
Dick: I wish you’d behave! I was going by your house yesterday, and I saw your sister looking out of the window; but I didn’t see any of the rest of the family—
Tom: Well, sister is the only one that’s working, and she looks out for us all.
Dick: Behave! Behave! Is your sister a blonde?
Tom: No, but she’s dyeing to be one. (Slaps himself on the wrist.) Behave! how dare you!
