A dark coloured hippopotamus stood alone, as if expelled from the herd, and bit the water, shaking his head from side to side in a most frantic manner. When the female has twins, she is said to kill one of them. We touched at the beautiful tree-covered island of Kalabi, opposite where Tuba-mokoro lectured the lion in our way up.
The Twins had a hot bath every day, but they usually took it before going to bed. The bath-tub was in a little room by itself. It was shaped a little like a barrel, and it had a stove set right in the side of it to heat the water. Taro went to the bathroom and climbed over the edge of the tub. It was hard to get up because the tub was high. He dropped into the water with a great splash.
"We're talkin' o' Zip's twins," murmured Sunny gently. "Sure, that's where I'm gettin' to " "By trail?" inquired Toby seriously. "Say, you make me tired," retorted Sandy angrily. "Best quit the trail, then," said Sunny. "Go to blazes!" cried Sandy, and promptly relapsed into moody silence.
Days and weeks and months went by and still there was no news of the wanderers. Doña Teresa worked hard at her washing and cooking, and with the goat's milk and the eggs managed to get enough to feed the Twins and herself. But the time seemed long and lonely, and she spent many hours before the image of the Virgin in the chapel, praying for Pancho's safe return.
She has conceived the curious idea that Cathy is TWINS, and that one of them is a boy-twin and failed to get segregated got submerged, is the idea. To argue with her that this is nonsense is a waste of breath her mind is made up, and arguments do not affect it.
"Haven't you heard," said the old bull, who was so near sighted he did not recognize Stone boy. "The chief's twins were killed by Stone boy, who ran them over a cut bank purposely, and the chief has ordered all of his buffalo to gather here, and when they arrive we are going to kill Stone boy and his mother and his uncles." "Is that so? When is the war to commence?"
Johnny and Jane Potter, being twins, went through Oxford together. Johnny came up from Rugby and Jane from Roedean. Johnny was at Balliol and Jane at Somerville. Both, having ambitions for literary careers, took the Honours School of English Language and Literature.
The sun rises in the west, the moon's a paystreak, the stars is canned corn-beef, scurvy's the blessin' of God, him that dies kicks again, rocks floats, water's gas, I ain't me, you're somebody else, an' mebbe we're twins if we ain't hashed-brown potatoes fried in verdigris. Wake me up! Somebody! Oh! Wake me up!" The next morning a visitor came to the cabin.
It was a Saturday, and there was no school, and, as it happened, all four of the twins were in. "Two boxes for you, Mrs. Bobbsey," said the driver, as he opened his receipt book. "I'll bring them in while you sign." The man came up the walk with two boxes. One was small, and the other larger, with slats on one end. And from this box came a peculiar noise. "Listen!" cried Bert.
"The twins are jolly good company, oh, I say!" laughed Rance, in tones so like her brothers-in-law that Evelyn laughed delightedly. It was lovely to have someone to laugh with. "But where are the heavenly twins to-night?" "I suppose they saw a flock of ducks going over, or heard the honk-honk of wild geese," she answered.
