"Lend me two dimes, somebody!" Bad Manners began howling.
Good night, it was some circus!
Harry said, "Come ahead, I'll take you all to Bennett's and treat you, and
I hope I'll never get mixed up with this crew again. I've had enough."
"Hurrah for Harry Donnelle!" everybody yelled.
Cracky, everybody was staring at us and laughing as we went down Main
Street. We should worry.
In Bennett's we all lined up and Harry told Mr. Bennett to please put
arsenic or carbolic acid or some other nice flavoring in our sodas;
something to keep us quiet.
I ordered a pineapple soda and yum, yum-m-m, didn't that first spoonful of
ice cream taste good.
CHAPTER XL
MMM--MM-M-M!
This is the last chapter and it's very short. Maybe you'll say that's one
good thing. But it's a good one just the same. It's a peach--I mean a
pineapple. It's the best chapter I ever wrote. It goes from the top of the
glass to the bottom of the glass. And that's the end of the story. So even
if the story's no good, it has a good ending. It had a good beginning, too.
Harry Donnelle said there should be a special chapter about that soda.
