Then out came the renowned Pee-wee himself in hot pursuit of them , running a little , walking a little , according to his habit . Two more boys came out and one of them said it was going to rain to-morrow . Tom wondered how he knew .

Tom did n't know what the Silver Foxes were -LRB- he knew there were no foxes in Bridgeboro -RRB- , and he had no notion what `` that '' meant , but he liked the idea of doing it at midnight . He would like to be mixed up in something which was done at midnight himself . But his trusty pal , Mr. Ellsworth , did not appear .
