"You don't care for just beauty, regardless," I mused. "Not a bit. Not unless it has meant something to man. I'm a humanist, I'm afraid." Whether she was gradually developing remorse for my night in the cobwebby barn, I do not know. But anyhow she grew more gentle, from this point on. She really condescended to expound. "I've never loved nature she's a brute, and crawly besides.
"You're a party, involuntarily, by remaining here. But do your best to save Peter Paul, if you will. And please call me up immediately at the Cosmic Club, if anything in my line turns up." "What is your line?" asked Miss Graham, the smile returning to her lips. "Creepy, crawly bugs? Or imperiled dogs? Or rescuing prospectively distressed damsels?"
I guess he thinks I don't see him, and he is going to tickle me. I hope he has those ice cream cones." Well, the crawly, squirming, round thing, which was like the small end of an elephant's trunk, kept coming closer and closer to the rabbit. "Now, I'll play a trick on that elephant I'll tickle his trunk for him, and he'll think it's a mosquito!" said Uncle Wiggily to himself.
And don't you think that it's worse for a man to seem to repel people by his very personality, rather than by any particular bad thing that he does?" "Yes. I don't know how to explain it, but that's just how I feel about it. I had an instinctive feeling that there was something wrong about Winkler, the sort of a creepy, crawly feeling that a snake gives you." Meanwhile Pokomy and Mrs.
Mason had come armed with a handful of wild barley-grass, or "crawly", as it was better known among the boys. "Dictée this morning," he said with a sly wink. In Monsieur Blonde's class, dictation offered great possibilities to a quick writer, with a supply of crawly. When heads are bent, what a chance down the collar for a deft hand! And the Monsieur was very short-sighted.
YOU will see that at last I decided to move over to this hotel. I made a great mistake in not coming before and getting away from the cross old housekeeper at the International, who could not be induced by entreaties, fees, or threats, to get the creepy, crawly things out of my room. How I wish that every one of them would march over to her some fine night and keep her awake as they have kept me.
Sepulchre's parish of two children; one is dead, the other is alive; her name Elizabeth, and goes by the name of Taylor, daughter to John Taylor. It seems Tom did a great while trust one Crawly with the business, who daily got money of him; and at last, finding himself abused, he broke the matter to J. Noble, upon a vowe of secresy.
After all, there was a hero rising out of the ruins of the anti-climax. The look on Givens's face would have secured him a high position in the S.P.C.A. "I always loved 'em," said he; "horses, dogs, Mexican lions, cows, alligators " "I hate alligators," instantly demurred Josefa; "crawly, muddy things!" "Did I say alligators?" said Givens. "I meant antelopes, of course."
Washerwoman indeed! I would have you to know that I am a Toad, a very well-known, respected, distinguished Toad! I may be under a bit of a cloud at present, but I will NOT be laughed at by a bargewoman! The woman moved nearer to him and peered under his bonnet keenly and closely. 'Why, so you are! she cried. 'Well, I never! A horrid, nasty, crawly Toad! And in my nice clean barge, too!
It makes one feel crawly even to think of it. The Savior was represented as a lad of about fifteen years of age. This figure had lost one eye. In this sordid place, and clothed, bedded, and fed like a pauper, this strange princess lived and worshiped during two years, and in it she died.
