It is no wonder, then, that the soul of Sid Waters, to say nothing of his
stomach in view of the halibut, was powerfully affected, and again he cried out, "Jolly!" Then he clapped his hands, shouting, "Just the place for a club!" "A club" said Juggie Jones. "Got nuff dose on my wood-pile." "He means an or-gorgan-gangor--" Charlie spoke very hesitatingly. It was a long word and threatened to catch crosswise in his windpipe and choke him. "Organization?" inquired Sid. "O I will show you. We had plenty of 'em in Boston." As Sid had just moved from the city, and especially a city so full of knowledge as Boston, Charlie and Juggie received this piece of news with all possible respect. "We can make one right here," suggested Charlie. "Yes, straight off," said the late citizen of Boston. "But whar's de boys?" asked Juggie. "O three will do," said Sid Waters, "for you don't want many to start with. I know the club will be popular after she has been started. And then, fellers," he said, in a quiet tone, "there's a better chance for offices in a small club, you know. We can fill 'em all now and get good berths." |
