Presently they began to feel uncomfortable, especially
Jimmy, whose fat, round little middle was tightly
compressed.
"Here, unhook this thing, Billy, and le's take her off," he
said. "I'm 'bout to pop open."
"All right," agreed his companion.
He tugged and pulled, but could get only the top and bottom
hooks unclasped; the middle ones refused to budge.
"I can't get these-here hooks to come loose," Billy said.
Jimmy put his short, fat arms around him and tried his hand,
but with no better success. The stays were such a snug fit
that the hooks seemed glued.
"We sho' is in a fix," said Billy gloomily; "look like God
all time lettin' us git in trouble."
"You think of more fool stunts to do, William Hill, than any
boy they is," cried the other; "you all time want to get us
hooked up in Sarah Jane's corset and you all time can't get
nobody loose. What you want to get us hooked up in this
thing for?"
"You done it yo'self," defended the boy in front with rising
passion.
