"Hey, you cheated!" Steve said, pointing his finger at Sodapop
"I did not!" Soda replied.
"Did too!"
"Did not!
Johnny and Ponyboy were watching quietly from a distance.
Ponyboy sighed, shook his head, and said, in an emotionless tone " Tweedledum and Tweddledee agreed to have a battle; for Tweedledum said Tweedledee had spoiled his nice new rattle."
While Steve and Sodapop were rolling around on the floor, fighting, Dallas tried to walk past without being knocked over. This, of course, did not work. All Dallas had to do was glare at the other two greasers. Steve and Sodapop had jumped up and ran out of the house, with Dallas hot on their trail.
It was Johnny's turn to sigh, then, in the same type of voice Pony had just used, " Just then flew down a monstrous crow, as black as a tar-barrel; Which frightened both the heroes so they quite forgot their quarrel."
The two boys looked at each other for a moment, then back at the now empty living room.
Then, simultaneously, both boys stood up and walked into the living room, sitting on the couch and putting their feet up on the coffee table.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Darrel had watched them, silently, his only thought being , Damn, that was creepy..
