I don't know why them chaps in the 'Reader' called it 'blue. It's green and black and yellow, and all kinds of colors, but I never see it look blue exceptin' when folks was looking at it from the land. It's cold, too, and wet and nasty. I wasn't dry once for the first two months, it seems to me. Ugh! I hate it.
"I take you to witness," said I, "that she tried it on and I wouldn't let her." "The more fool you!" retorted Hartnoll, edging away from me in dudgeon but I knew he was more than half ashamed. Just at that moment to my astonishment I felt the child at my side reach up and touch my hand. "Ugh!" said I, drawing it away quickly. "Paws off, please! Eh? what's this?"
Of course, I didn't take the trouble to run after them. But, you see, my horn does come in useful sometimes." "Ugh!" grunted the Hippopotamus. "I suppose it does. But it isn't pretty, all the same." "Well, anyway it's better than your mouth," replied the Rhinoceros, getting angry again. "But I can swim!" said the Hippopotamus.
Yet this persistent shadow clung upon my footsteps until from casting furtive glances sidewise I came to holding it craftily in the tail of my eye. 'Twas surely moving as I moved, and surely drawing nearer. I picked a time and place, measured my distance, and darting suddenly aside, sent home a thrust which should have pinned the phantom to a tree. "Ugh!
"I don't know," I said, as I carefully introduced my hand and arm, going down on one knee so as to get closer, and so by degrees hand, arm, and shoulder had nearly disappeared, as I touched the far end of the cleft. "Nothing," I said to myself, as I felt about with my cheek touching the wet slippery sea-weed. Then I uttered a loud "Ugh!" and started away. "What's the matter?" cried my companions.
I wouldn't hanker after a tumble into a muddy ditch just now," laughed Frank. "Think of me, fellows! Why, my lower extremities are still damp from one trip. That was bad enough, but think of going in head first! Ugh! excuse me, if you please!" groaned Ralph. They made out to get along with little or no trouble.
She caught Adeline round her bony waist, where each rib defined itself to her hand, and danced her out of the library, across the hall into the white and gold saloon beyond. "Yes," she said, with a critical look at the room, "it will do splendidly. We shall have to put down linen, of course; but then the dancing will be superb as good as a bare floor. Yes, it will be a grand success. Ugh!
Throw my things over me again and shut that window. Ugh! It is cold!" "Will you come here and look? Here's the old elephant again." "Gammon!" cried Singh, whose many years' association with Glyn had made him almost as English in his expressions. "Think you are going to cheat me out of my morning's snooze by such a cock-and-bull story as that?"
Jennie's weight carried her to the straw matting with a bump that shook the shack and brought Ruth, too, out of bed. "'Ghost'?" cried Ruth Fielding. "Let me see it! Remember the campus ghost back at old Briarwood, Helen? I haven't seen a ghost since that time." "Ugh! Get this big elephant off of me!" grunted her chum, impolitely as well as angrily. "She's no ghost, I do assure you.
"But I'll go to pieces, if I can't smoke a cigarette or two," whined the boy. Tom had the medicine chest in his lap by this time. His hand touched a bottle of pellets labeled "quassia." "Here, chew on one of these, and you won't need your cigarette," Tom suggested, passing over a pellet. Alf mutely took the pellet, crushing it with his teeth. "Ugh!" he uttered disgustedly.
