The queer, enigmatic, clever girl had the whole of Donnington's steadfast heart. Since he had first met Bubbles only some eighteen months ago, but it now seemed an eternity all life had been different. At first she had at once repelled, attracted, and shocked him.
"In the course of these I discovered that others besides Henrietta had fell hard for the poet of Nature. I met Mrs. Dr. Percy Hailey Martingale and she just bubbles about him, she having been at the Prices' the night before.
Why, then, does he not come forward to defend her character, unless he is conscious that an investigation would only make the matter worse?" "Pshaw!" exclaimed Theodore; "her brother is no such fool! Nobody, unless his brain be as full of bubbles as this wine, can seriously think of crediting that ridiculous rumor. What can you say to that?"
Sixteen years being bullied by nurses and schoolmasters at their own sweet will; five in London grinding hard at medicine, bad food, shabby lodgings, shabby clothes, shabby vice, a blunder, I didn't know any better, and hustled off to this beastly island. Ten years here! What's it all for, Prendick? Are we bubbles blown by a baby?" It was hard to deal with such ravings.
They drifted past like bubbles blown from froth of rainbows by pipes in mouths of Titans' young. Then from the base of one arose a tangle of shimmering strands, long, slender whiplashes that played about and sank slowly again beneath the crimson surface.
Gayety and laughter are the bubbles and foam on the glass of life, proving that it is charged with energy. Do not believe me, although I have carefully watched many thousands of Germans in all parts of Germany taking their pleasure and their ease; come over and see for yourself!

A certain proposition in physics, known as the "Principle of Archimedes," runs to the following effect: "Every body plunged into a liquid loses a portion of its weight equal to the weight of the fluid which it displaces."
You say, "Let me sing my song." Ay, but, my dear friends, we like to sing a song that will last; we don't like your songs; they are all froth, like bubbles on the beaker, and they will soon die away and be lost. Give me a song that will last; give me one that will not melt. Oh, give me not the dreamster's gold! he hoards it up, and says, "I'm rich"; and when he waketh, his gold is gone.
"I hope," said Flynn, beating away his hand in a bowl of mounting rainbow bubbles "I hope that that your feelings were not hurt at at our eavesdropping." "At what?" asked Carroll, kindly and soberly. "At our eavesdropping," reported the barber, with a worshipful and agitated glance at him. "Oh!" answered Carroll, but he did not smile. "No," he said, "my feelings were not hurt."
"Oh!" he suddenly exclaimed, for he had happened to laugh just as he was blowing a big bubble, and it burst, scattering a little fine spray of soapy water in his face. Margy giggled delightedly. "I like this!" said Mun Bun, as he put his pipe down into the bowl of water and blew a big string of little bubbles. Just then a voice called: "Hey, Russ! Where are you?" "Back here!
