Why, I've know'd the greatest villain that ever chewed the end of a smuggled cigar look as innocent as the babe unborn. An' is there a man here wot'll tell me he hasn't often an' over again mistook the crack of a big gun for a clap o' thunder?"
The Babe smacked his lips. He was beginning to get pretty hungry himself. "Well," continued Uncle Andy, "Teddy Bear chewed and chewed, finally plunging his whole head into the sticky mess getting a few stings, of course, but never thinking of them till he was just so gorged that he couldn't hold another morsel. Then, very slowly and heavily, grunting all the time, he climbed down the bee tree.
"But, Gusterson, we've lived through a lot of things without leaving home altogether. We lived through the Everybody-Six-Feet-Underground-by-Christmas campaign and the Robot Watchdog craze, when you got your left foot half chewed off. We lived through the Venomous Bats and Indoctrinated Saboteur Rats and the Hypnotized Monkey Paratrooper scares.
Now the greatest aversion Arabs have is to be chewed by a crocodile, because these people usually roam over the sands of the desert, where to meet an amphibian is simply horrible; so at the Woggle-Bug's speech they set up a howl of fear, and the Shiek shouted: "Unbind him! Let not a hair of his head be injured!" At once the knots in the ropes were untied, and the Woggle-Bug was free.
"No, we were just talking about you, doc." "Fire ahead, young woman," said the doctor, with assumed severity. "I'm here to defend myself now." "Alec was calling you an angel, and I was laughing at him," said the girl demurely. "An angel huh!" he snorted. "I never knew an angel that chewed tobacco, or one that could swear the way you do when you're mad," continued Arlie.
An old man stood behind it, wagging his beard as he chewed tobacco, and as he set out the glasses he glanced up at Wunpost with a curious, embittered smile. He was white-faced and white-bearded, stooped and gnarled like a wind-tortured tree, and the crook to his nose made one think instinctively of pictures of the Wandering Jew.
They must have had something to dissolve it in first, and it would have taken too long to fill everything full of the stuff." "Who cares to taste the beef?" I asked. "Give me a piece, sir," said Johnson. He put it in his mouth and chewed slowly upon it at first, as though not quite certain whether to swallow it or not.
In a bound Mahon reached the door and threw it open. "Conrad!" he shouted. "Quick!" Adrian Conrad stumbled over the doorstep, laughed, and fell to the floor. "'S all right," he cheered with a mad laugh. "Haven't got Adrian Conrad yet. Easy there, Mahon! They've chewed me up a bit that rifle at the trestle saved me." Then he fainted. A voice that jerked Mahon erect came grimly from the grade.
"Then, I suppose," said Mr Mawley, "that you agree with the writers of Essays and Reviews?" "Suppose nothing, my dear Mawley," said the vicar, kindly but seriously, "except what you have facts to vouch for. I do not say I agree with them or not." "And do you think the hare chewed the cud, as Colenso says?" asked Baby Blake, with such a serious face that we could not help laughing at her.
He had applied first aid to William's knee in the form of chewed tobacco, which if it did no more at least discouraged the pestering flies. Now he collected a ride for his pay. He had reasoned that William was probably subdued to the point of permitting the liberty, and that he had other things to think of more important than protecting his mulish dignity. Casey guessed right.
