"Yes," said Toddie, who had listened carefully to Mike's recital, "an' kitty-kitty said, 'Miauw! Miauw! when she goed down ze well. An' Mish Doctor sed, 'Bad boy go home don't never tum to my housh no more, dat's what she said to me. Now be some more animals, Ocken Hawwy. Can't you be a whay-al?" "Whales don't make a noise, Toddie; they only splash about in the water."
He rose with difficulty, picked up his bundle and stick, the small child replaced the kitten in its basket, and thrust her hand in her new friend's. "Then 'oo IS grandad tum back," she said. Mrs Jakes had been fumbling in her pocket, and extracted a penny, which she pressed on me. "It's little enough, mister," she said.
But as Tum Tum was eating his hay and carrots in the animal tent, for he was kept in that, now that the weather was warmer, all at once Tum Tum heard a loud shouting. "Look out for that wagon. The tiger cage wagon is rolling down hill. It will turn over, be smashed, and the tiger will get out! Stop that wagon, somebody!"
A passage in the eleventh book of Virgil's "AEneid" is very much to be admired, where Camilla, in her last agonies, instead of weeping over the wound she had received, as one might have expected from a warrior of her sex, considers only, like the hero of whom we are now speaking, how the battle should be continued after her death: Tum sic exspirans, &c. VIRG., AEn. xi. 820.
"Crash!" over went the tree, broken off short. "I'll soon be with you!" Tum Tum called again, for he still could not see his little friends. "Who's there?" he asked. Back through the jungle came the answer: "We're all here Whoo-ee, Gumble-umble, Thorny and Zunga!" These were the names of the elephants with whom Tum Tum played.
Why does he not make people believe that he is Mahatma Ghandi and the Ali brothers rolled into one? As the trick is done for a means of livelihood, why does he not make people see him as Dr. Barnardo asking for funds for charities. His limitations are unbounded, yet he sticks to this absurd rope and the boy climbing up it. "Tum tua res agito paries cum proximus ardet."
Wee Rosie, are you no' going to stay the day with Miss Graeme and me?" said Mrs Snow. Graeme held up her arms for the little girl, but she did not offer to move. "Will you bide with grannie, wee Rosie?" asked her father, pulling back her sun-bonnet, and letting a mass of tangled, yellow curls fall over her rosy face. "Tum adain Grannie," said the little girl, gravely.
D, col. li. 13; G, col. ii. ll. 1-8; iii. 4 seq. See Gen. xxiv. 53. Semit. Völker, p. 382. See Jensen, Keils Bibl. 3, 1, 28, note 2. The first signifies 'to make, the third means "good, favorable," but the second, upon which so much depends, is not clear. Amiaud reads tum instead of sig. De Sarzec, pl. 7, col. i. 12. Hibbert Lectures, p. 104. Inscr. D, col. iv. ll. 7, 8.
Coruncanium optare solitos ut id Samnitibus ipsique Pyrrho persuaderetur, quo facilius vinci possent cum se voluptatibus dedissent. Vixerat M'. Curius cum P. Decio, qui quinquennio ante eum consulem se pro re publica quarto consulatu devoverat: norat eundem Fabricius, norat Coruncanius, qui cum ex sua vita tum ex eius quem dico.
This elephant, instead of speaking to Tum Tum, just reached over with her long trunk, pulled one of Tum Tum's legs out from under him, and down he went in a heap. "Ha! Maybe you like that kind of fun!" cried the elephant who had made Tum Tum fall. "It didn't hurt me!" said Tum Tum, as he got up. But, after that, he was careful not to play any jokes on this elephant.
