His eyes were huge. "Oh, no," he whispered, before beating a hasty retreat.

Later, Mike recounted to an amused Peter and Davy what he'd been lucky enough to witness. "I'll bet Micky must've beat the land-speed record, gettin' away before Babbitt could find out he was the one leadin' the neighbor kids in that water-balloon ambush!"
