Pee-Wee faced him, his cheek flushed, his eyes blazing. "You're a--you're a--coward--and a thief--that's what you are," he shouted. "You--you--haven't got brains enough to find two--two--motorcycles--you haven't--all you can do is stand around and eat things that other people are trying to sell! You're a coward and a--a fo--ol--and you owe us as much as--a--a dollar. You'd better button your coat up or you'll--you'll be stealing your own watch--you--you coward!"
Excerpt from Pee-Wee Harris in Luck Whenever Pee-wee Harris was given the choice of two desserts he invariably chose both. This policy, which eliminated all possibility of vain regrets, had worked so well that he applied it on all occasions where a difficult choice was involved, on the wise principle that if he took everything he would not lose much. Thus, when the Sunday School picnic with its ice cream and cake conflicted with the troops' hike, Pee-wee saved the day and much of the ice cream by proposing that they hike to the scene of the picnic. His greatest triumph of maneuvering, however, was when he "foiled" Father Time by means of the daylight saving law.

Haunters of used book stores may have spotted the mystery and adventure books of Percy Keese Fitzhugh (1876-1950). They were phenomenally popular in the 1920s, and millions of copies were sold. Fitzhugh was an American author. His first known work, The Goldenrod Story Book, was published in 1906. The bulk of his work, having a Boy Scouting theme, revolves around the fictional town of Bridgeboro, New Jersey. Characters included Tom Slade, Pee-wee Harris, Roy Blakely, and Westy Martin. Fitzhugh's Scouting based books were very popular with children and adults. His characters became so real to his readers that it was not uncommon for Percy to receive fan mail addressed to the characters themselves. In the 1930s, attempting to branch out, he began writing the Hal Keen Mystery Series (10 titles) under the pseudonym Hugh Lloyd. They were followed by another mystery series, Skippy Dare, though this one only lasted for 3 books. Neither of these series achieved the popularity of his Scout work.
