"Spider!" exclaimed Betty with a little shiver. "What possessed you to take such a name?" "It looks like a water bug the ice is not far removed from water. Hence Spider. Do you get me or the spider?" "Oh, you boys!" sighed Grace. "Girls, shall we consider it the ice boat?" "It will be just the proper caper," said Will. "We can take you all up in one load, and your suit cases, too.
"Not so much as a bug," replied the doctor positively. "Yet I thought when the vapour lifted a bit that I saw something moving." "When was that, sir?" "Ten or fifteen minutes back."

"There isn't any bug, Mr. Toad, and I beg your pardon," replied Jimmy, remembering his politeness. "I just thought there was. You see, I didn't know you were under that piece of bark.
