"I will, thank you," said Phil with a merry twinkle in his eyes.
"It's like taking candy out of the mouth of a babe. I'll get
more than eight dollars' worth out of that bass--he's baser than
he is bass. Bass sounds like a fish, doesn't it--out of that
bass drummer when I get a good fair chance at him. Sometime when
he isn't looking, you know. I wonder if he could be the fellow
who stole my egg?" questioned Teddy reflectively.
Phil went out laughing, to make his peace with the drummer.
CHAPTER XX
A CAPTURE IN THE AIR
Fortunately, the band carried a new set of heads for the drum,
and the contribution of the boys served to restore the offended
musicians to good nature. Teddy, however, was not appeased.
That youngster vowed that he would take revenge on the bass
drummer at the very first opportunity.
That afternoon, during the performance, Teddy began his
getting-even process by standing in front of the bandstand
between his acts, and making faces at the musicians.
This seemed to amuse them, and brought only smiles to
their faces.
