I'm not quarreling. I'm just telling this gentleman
back of me that - Well, all right, if you're going to cry. If
there was any fouling done it was the Caledonias that did it, though.
The next is where they "run three hundred feet from the judges'
stand, raise ladder, hose company to couple to hydrant, break
coupling in hose and put on nozzle, scale ladder, and fill
twenty-five gallon barrel." Only the Caledonias. and our boys are
entered in this. Now we'll see which is the best. All right, Mary,
I won't say a word . . . . Say, for country-jakes, those Caledonias
didn't do so badly. I give them that much. Look at the water fly!
I'll bet those folks near the judges' stand wish they'd brought
their umbrellas. Now you see why these are the best seats, don't
you? I told you I'd been to Firemen's Tournaments before. What?
You'll have to talk louder than that if you want me to hear with
all this noise . . . . Oh, that'll be all right. They'll be so
hungry they won't notice it.
Here, be careful how you wabble that hose around. Good thing
they turned the water off at the plug just when they did or we'd
have been - Here's our company. Where's Caledonia now? Eh?
Pretty work! Pretty work! Say, do you know that hose full of
water's heavy? Now watch Riley. Riley's the one that's got the
nozzle.
