"Just see what I've done," exclaimed Adela, holding out one arm. It was dripping wet, and the water was running off in a stream and down to meet a small puddle where the splash had struck on the floor. "The pitcher slipped O dear me ugh " cried Adela, wriggling all over. "Stand still," said Polly, "do, Adela, till I wipe your sleeve dry."
I'm smothered to death," grumbled Alexia, "and I'm so hot" wriggling discontentedly. "So am I," said Polly. "What did you say? Your aunt was in the closet?" little old Mr. Filbert was asking; and receiving no reply, he kept on. "Oh, do hear him," whispered Alexia, back of the sofa-cushion; "he is so tiresome, asking the same thing over and over." "Well, do answer him," said Polly.
"A grasshopper loses all his spirit after he's been immersed for an hour, but a worm will keep on wriggling and attracting attention for half a day." "I wanted to bring a spade," said I. But Tish had read of a scheme for getting worms that she said the game warden of some place or other had guaranteed officially.
Beside him the girl stirred, raising her head. Travis glanced at her and then watched with attention. She was looking straight ahead, her eyes as fixed as if she were in a trance.

Then he was ready for his life-work.
"Then," he answered, "one must pick them out right. But all I mean is for I express myself with violence that she's in a position to watch me. There's an element of suspense for me, and she can see me wriggle. But my wriggling doesn't matter," he pursued. "I can bear it. Besides, I shall wriggle out."

I have been at such coteries, too, where they praised each other's work with odd, passionate cries and wriggling, fantastic gestures. That is terrible too, because that is culture which has turned rancid. But at my friend's house it was not rancid at all, it was simply unassimilated.
"Look at Barbara!" say I, with deep admiration, familiarly laying my hand on Sir Roger's coat-sleeve, to make sure of engaging his attention, "that is always her way!
