He always detested that he should be cuddled, and he would press first with one leg, then with another, against Jeremy's coat; then he would lie dead for a moment, suddenly springing, with his head up, in the hope that the surprise would free him; then he would turn into a snake, twisting his body under Jeremy's arm, and dropping with a flop on to the floor.
Believing that all mineral fossils were never living animals at all, but the types simply of animals that were to be, stamped instantaneously upon the rocks as prophetic symbols of a work of creation to be afterward accomplished, he is prepared to hear without surprise that man should some day be found as a fossil.

"Miss Bethia," said he in a little, "if wee Polly were to die to-night and go to Heaven, do you suppose she would always stay a little child as she is now?" Miss Bethia set down her flat-irons and looked at him in surprise. "What on earth put that into your head?" said she, hastily. "Look at her," said David. "It doesn't seem as though she could be any sweeter even in Heaven, does it?"
"'Tis a strange time to indulge in a cold bath!" murmured Thorwald, whose state of surprise was beginning to render him desperately ironical.

"The Magnet never failed to work before!" "I know," said Betsy, nodding her head wisely. "These Roses have no hearts."

"Do you really suppose he was crying, Scorch or was he laughing?"
Cyril, like the King, has come to his own again, and he is now Sir Cyril Shenstone, the owner of the estate of Upmead." Both broke into exclamations of surprise and pleasure. "How has the wonder come about?" Nellie asked, after the first congratulations were over. "What good fairy has brought this round?" "The good fairy was the Mr.
