Can you remember when you were trying to get your friend Bob or perhaps your whole crowd to follow your suggestion? How you coaxed and urged and teased. Of course that was many years ago but your argument (!) ran something like this, didn’t it?
“Oh, I say, Bob, come on down to the creek.”
“Let’s go in swimming!”
“Oh, yes!”
“Let’s!”
“Say, it’s just fun!”
“Oh, never mind getting in that kindling, you can do it after we get back—sure you can! You’ll have plenty of time, and besides your mother won’t care very much.”
“Oh, come on!”
“Don’t be a fraid cat!”
“You are a regular sissy! You dassn’t go—you have to stay close home! I tell you, I just do as I please—my ma lets me do just as I want to. She knows I would, anyway.”
