So he stood outside, and said aloud, 'Bless my stars! what has happened? I don't half like to go in, for whenever I come home my wife always calls out, "Oh, dearest hubby hub! What have you brought for grub To me and the darling cub?" and to-day she doesn't say anything! Hearing this, Miss Crocodile sang out from inside, 'Oh, dearest hubby hub!
Styles on many Hub worlds were rather bold of course, but she was sure this effect wasn't what the Beldon's designers had intended. She stepped in front of the mirror. Her eyes widened. "Brother!" she breathed. That Beldon did go with a woman like stripes went with a tiger! After one look, you couldn't quite understand why nature hadn't arranged for it first.
But all sorts of people are mingled promiscuously here, for, soon after this incident, two young men come running across the prairie from a semi-dug-out, who prove to be college graduates from "the Hub," who are rooting prairie here in Nebraska, preferring the free, independent life of a Western farmer to the restraints of a position at an Eastern desk.

She has more statues and more speakers than any other city on this continent. I have with my own eyes seen a book called "The Hundred Boston Orators." This would seem to give her a fairer title to be called the tire than the hub of creation.
Their grandfather, aunt, mother, and nurses combined were powerless to control them, and would give them anything but what they most needed. They pervaded the whole house, and were the hub of it; they ate at all hours, and of whatever they fancied.
