Wanted to shake them all round, though they did look well in their gowns and cowls gliding about the dim cloisters and church. Perhaps they are kept for that purpose. 'Parma. Dome of church frescoed by Correggio. All heaven upsidedown; fat angels turning somersaults, saints like butchers, and martyrs simpering feebly. Like C.'s babies much better.
"I eats them," said Stella, reversing her small cauliflower-like person on the sofa till only a circle of white rims with a nucleus of coventry frilling, with two pink legs kicking gently upward, were visible. Stella always turned upsidedown if the conversation took a personal turn. In later and more conventional years we find a poor equivalent for marking our disapproval by changing the subject.
Lord Newhaven tilted his hat over his eyes and acted as umpire. "It is not usual to sail boats upsidedown," he said, seeing Teddy deliberately upset his. "They are doing it out there," said Teddy, who had a reason for most things. And he continued to sail his boat upsidedown. Lord Newhaven got up, and swept the water with his eye. His face became keen.
Ray caught back their discoverer, launched a few stepping-stones across, and, speeding from foothold to foothold, very soon sent His Magnificence fluttering over the fence and forward before them, and returned with the two little runaway hens slung over his arm, where, after a trifle of protestation and a few subdued cackles of crestfallen acquiescence, having a great deal to tell the other hens on reaching home once more, they very contentedly enjoyed the new aspect of the world upsidedown.
Am dat dat big dat big nice man heah now?" asked Rad, feeling around with his bandaged hand; and a smile showed beneath the cloth over his eyes. "I here right upsidedown by you, Rad," said Koku, and his big hand clasped the smaller one of the black man. "Koku yo' yo' am mighty good to me," murmured Eradicate. "I reckon I been cross to yo' sometimes, but I didn't mean nuffin' by it!"
The trimmer began to nod, to tilt, and then turned suddenly upsidedown, and remained motionless. "He's running the line off it," said Doll. As he spoke the trimmer gave one jerk and went under. Then it reappeared, awkwardly bustling out into the open. "Oh, hang it all! it's Sunday," said Doll, with a groan. "We can't be catching pike on a Sunday."
"Miss Joy, have you seen Philip anywhere?" she asked. "It's his dinner-time, and I've hunted the house upsidedown for him." "Nowhere at all," said Joy truthfully, "Oh, is it as late as all that? I'd better go, Mr. Rutherford." She followed Viola swiftly out, waving her hand provokingly to Clarence. "There's a way out on the other side of the garden," she called back casually.
It was the complement to the golden lazy days when the water was glass, and the canoes rode upsidedown over its mirror surface. The Norseman grinned and shook his head in token of his pleasure, much as an epicure might after a sip of superior Burgundy. "How do you fancy this?" we asked the attorney-at-law. "I am not going to deliver an opinion until I get ashore.
I am upset, yes, turned upsidedown and insideout by a Force not content to leave men in wrong attitudes or sinful states. But upset, I stand upright and go about my Father's business. God bless you, Mr Weener."
We gave our names, and the Doctor showed his letters of authorization from a dozen learned universities. The Black Hussar who examined our credentials was of a taciturn disposition, and evidently no scholar, for he studied the parchments intently upsidedown, and appeared to have an idea that their genuineness was best investigated by smelling the seals. "Where are you bound?" he asked.
