'What I mean, Uncle Sol, pursued Walter, bending over a little more to pat him on the shoulder, 'is, that then I feel you ought to have, sitting here and pouring out the tea instead of me, a nice little dumpling of a wife, you know, a comfortable, capital, cosy old lady, who was just a match for you, and knew how to manage you, and keep you in good heart.
The monkey said, "Where are you going, Mr. Peach-Darling?" "I'm going to the oni's island to get his treasures." "What have you got good in your package?" "Millet dumplings. Have one?" "Yes, give me one, and I'll go with you," said the monkey. So the monkey ate the dumpling, and boy, dog and monkey all trudged on together. A little further on a pheasant met them and said: "Ohio, Momotarō, doko?"
In fact, I am sure he was awkward or he would have caught up with her when she tried to run away, and she with one shoe off and one shoe on like 'Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John!" "Let me help you out, Mrs. Buck." It was Jeff Bucknor, leaning over the little blue car.
They reached the platform several minutes before the seven o'clock trolley. "Heavens! I came mighty near forgetting what I came all the way from Buck Hill to find out," declared Jeff.

He wanted no beating, although he could be obstinate enough when he liked, and refuse to pass the green paddock where he grazed; but he wanted no beating, while with his young master on his back: he would trot off with his little hoofs going pitter-patter, twinkle-twinkle over the road, at a rate that it used to puzzle old Dumpling, the fat pony, to keep up with.
During all this time there was a firm in Liverpool which received periodical remittances of money from an unknown source.

So the dumpling or pudding-fed travellers now roll themselves up in their barracans, covering their faces entirely, and stretch themselves down on the ground to sleep, frequently not moving from the place where they ate their supper. There is generally a mat or skin under them, and they lie down under the shade of the bales of goods which their camels carry.
"A 'ead like a dumpling, that boy 'as!" he commented to the stoker, as Billy wrought like a grimy goblin at the appointed task. "A clout on the side of it 'ud do 'im good!" pronounced the stoker, who was as thin and saturnine as the engineer was stout and good-humored. "Boys need correction." "I'll allow you're right," said the engineer. "But it ain't my business to 'it Billy for 's own good.
Never as long as I live will I buy bread from Hunt again. I'll eat Coffin's bread in future." "Oh, Maria, it's so musty." "Fiddle dumpling. Hunt is certainly faithless. Maria, do you think you could squeeze yourself through an open window?" "I don't, Martha," replied Miss Peters; "and, what's more, I won't. I have got my best brown silk on. Where am I to get another silk?
Then we did all the work ourselves instead of taking cooks and footmen to do it for us; but for all that, we thought them most delightful.

"Oh, I know what they are," said Maud Hallett.
