Forty times I've said if you didn't let that jam alone I'd skin you. Hand me that switch. The switch hovered in the air - the peril was desperate - My! Look behind you, aunt! The old lady whirled round, and snatched her skirts out of danger. The lad fled on the instant, scrambled up the high board-fence, and disappeared over it. His aunt Polly stood surprised a moment, and then broke into a gentle laugh.[...]
