The following quotes are all from Freddy the Pilot by Walter R. Brooks.
Mr. Condiment was a tall thin man who always looked as if he had a stomach ache. That was because he did have a stomach ache. He also had a great deal of money.
“Newsome’s the name,” said the little man.
“That’s what I said—Nuisance,” said the sheriff.
Uncle Wesley didn’t come back for a week and he only reappeared then because he couldn’t find anything to eat in the woods and he decided that there was less chance of being cooked and eaten by Martians than of starving to death if he stayed where he was.
Uncle Ben smiled. “Foolproof,” he said.
“Maybe it is,” said Freddy. “But maybe it isn’t pig-proof.”
“Why, no it isn’t,” Freddy said. “It just doesn’t hit where you aim it. Now if we put up a flag on the wall here and call that the target, and then I go up and aim at the big rock, I’ll hit the target every time.”
Willy was a rather unusual snake, for he was fond of reading. Snakes don’t usually care much about books, probably because they haven’t any hands to hold them with. But Mr. Tweedle had a sort of reading stand on his desk, and if he propped a book up on it, Willy could turn the leaves with his nose.
He gave a yell that made everybody outside on Main Street look around and say: “I wonder where the fire is?” and then he left, and I guess it was lucky the door was open or he would have taken it right with him.
“Get away from me,” said the leopard. He walked over and looked at Mr. Condiment, then turned him over on his back with one paw. “Silly looking fellow.” He wrinkled up his nose. “I’m glad I didn’t have to bite him.”
Mr. Groper explained that owing to the impracticability of inserting proper punctuation in telegraphic communications, the word “stop,” in order to obviate ambiguity, was employed as a substitute for the period. But nobody understood him.
I kinda figured that much…….
