I thought I must be laboring under a mental strain. When I saw you coming up the street I says to myself, 'That's The Croak. Then I took another look, and says, 'No, it can't be. The Croak's in Joliet doing three years for working the sawdust. Then I looked again and I says, 'It must be The Croak.
The beautiful oak floor of the place was littered with sawdust and shavings of wood. Several tiers of seats had been arranged on the space usually occupied by swings, punching-balls and other artifices. On a slightly raised dais at the further end was an exact replica of a ring, corded around and with sawdust upon the floor.
"Well, you know what a party is," said Jack. "And a Grass Party is one out on the grass. The boy and girl from next door are coming, and there will be good things to eat, games to play and all things like that. Isn't that jolly?" "I should say so!" cried the Rocking Horse. "I love parties!" said the Sawdust Doll.
"There is too much bang- banging. I'm going to play with my Lamb on Wheels." The Bold Tin Soldier Captain heard Mirabell say that, even above the noise made by Arnold. "Ha! Now I know where I heard those names before!" thought the Captain. "The Sawdust Doll told us about these children when she came back to the store to visit that day. They live next door to Dick and Dorothy.
The circus man looked at what Mappo had done. "That is a smart little monkey," he said. "Now he will not fall." And this time, when Prince started off, and ran very fast around the sawdust ring, Mappo did not fall off. His tail, which was as good as a hand to him, was wrapped about the neck of Prince, and kept Mappo from slipping. Mappo could now do the dog-riding trick very well.
"Yes, he's Octavius Smith, not Septimus, and much better. Mamma deals with him, and his bacon is only elevenpence, and he'll always bring your letters, too." "Bacon!" said Hugh, hungrily. "I'd deal with any one who has bacon if it is fried and eggs are thrown in with it." "Oh," said Lynn, "he never throws them; they're always packed very carefully in sawdust.
"Didn't I tell you I saw the smoke coming out of the top of a tree? Fire couldn't be deep down in the sawdust and the smoke come out of the tree top." "Couldn't, heh?" returned Tom. "Dead tree, wasn't it?" "Oh, yes." "Hollow, too, of course?" "I don't know." "Might be hollow clear through its length," Tom explained seriously. "The butt might be all rotted out.
"It's gettin' me goin'. Let's break in an' find what's eatin' 'em." Smoke knocked at a lighted cabin, and was followed in by Shorty in answer to the "Come in" of the voice they heard groaning. It was a simple log cabin, the walls moss-chinked, the earth floor covered with sawdust and shavings.
Good little girls ought not to make mouths at their teachers for every trifling offense. This retaliation should only be resorted to under peculiarly aggravated circumstances. If you have nothing but a rag-doll stuffed with sawdust, while one of your more fortunate little playmates has a costly China one, you should treat her with a show of kindness nevertheless.
Lawrence and the Ottawa are brown of various shades, a very slight alteration of the chemical components reflecting rays of colour as forcibly and perceptibly as, in like manner, a very slight change of component parts develops sugar and sawdust. Nature, in short, is very simple in all her operations.
