Excerpt from Roy Blakeley, His Story: Being the True Narrative of His Adventures and Those of His Troop on Land and Sea and in the Mud Particularly in the Mud; Taken From the Troop Book of the 1st Bridgeboro Troop B. S. An; And Arranged by Himself With the Assistance of Pee-Wee Harris and Pe
Well, here I am at last, ready to tell you the adventures of our young lives. Right away I have trouble with Pee-wee Harris. He"s about as easy to keep down as a balloon full of gas. We call him the young dirigible because he"s always going up in the air. Even at the start he must stick in his chapter heading about a conclave.
Hanged if I know what a conclave is. It"s some kind of a meeting I guess. He said it was something like a peace conference, but believe me, the meeting I"m going to tell you about wasn"t much like a peace conference. I told him I"d use my own heading and his too, just to keep him quiet. I think he"s got his pockets stuffed full of chapter headings and that he"ll be shooting them at me all the way through - like a machine-gun.
