So, finding that the rope, which was fast to the sail, was keeping the rudder handle from moving, he began to loosen the coils. As soon as he did that the rudder moved from side to side, and this, of course, made the ice-boat do the same thing. "Oh, dear!" cried Flossie, "don't jiggle it so, Freddie!"
One of Kipling's ballads has delivered the aspect and sentiment of this bewitching sea correctly: "The Injian Ocean sets an' smiles So sof', so bright, so bloomin' blue; There aren't a wave for miles an' miles Excep' the jiggle from the screw." April 14. It turns out that the astronomical apprentice worked off a section of the Milky Way on me for the Magellan Clouds.
Newton, Mart having gone back to the front door. "I've heard that actors are often hungry." "But he's General Washington, too, isn't he?" demanded Bunny, following Mart. "Yes, he pretends to be all sorts of famous people on the stage," kindly explained Mart to Bunny. "You'll like him, he can do lots of tricks." "Can he jiggle I mean juggle?" "Yes, but not as good as the other man in the play."
"Are you goin' to take them rings off peaceably?" muttered Smilk, a hunted look leaping into his eyes. "I am not," said she. "Speak a little louder, both of you," complained Mr. Yollop. "This contraption of mine doesn't seem to catch what you are saying." "Jiggle it," said Smilk brightly. "How long ago did you telephone for the police, Crittenden?" "How long ago was it, Cassius?"
A faint hum of voices, rising and falling, beat against the walls of his understanding. Were the wires crossed?

He could have likened the sound, without a strain of imagination, to a chair being violently overturned.
To prove that, I must not jiggle with these heads and tails of Time, but I must begin earlier and follow down these eventful years as if I were a real novel-writer with consecutive chapters to set down. Springvale by the Neosho was a favorite point for early settlers. It nestled under the sheltered bluff on the west. There were never-failing springs in the rocky outcrop.
Down into the bucket it pattered with a hasty, giggling, hysterical jiggle. I rather liked the companionship of it. I didn't mind it at all. I really minded nothing whatever.... I sighed my appreciation of my return to life. My sigh brought some one from the corner of my room and that some one was, of course, the inevitable Eat.
"You'll tip us over." "Don't do what?" asked Sue, sleepily. "Don't jiggle the boat," said Bunny. Then he opened his eyes wider and looked all about. The boat was far from shore and was drifting down the river. It had become untied while the children slept. "On, Bunny! Bunny!" cried Sue, clapping her hands. "We're having a sail! We're sailing!"
I saw young women jiggle and jerk all over until their hair was all thrown down, and their clothing disarranged. Two or three men were running about on the platform as if they were mad, others danced more gracefully. One or two were bellowing. There were noises that were indescribable, screeches, howls, yells, and several gibbering syllables that no one understood.
Then the doctor said, in his I-am-the-Ten-Commandments manner, "Get out, Peggy," and held his hand. And Peggy said, "I won't I can't," and immediately did, the goose.
