Against the dark background of that distant ridge and upon the dun-colored flat along which the road meandered, the old corporal could just make out a number of dingy white objects mere specks bobbing and twinkling in the blazing sunshine. Nothing of the kind had been there when he looked before and he knew only too well what it meant.
Bobbing about at intervals in the maritime procession were other submarines, their conning towers silhouetted against the dim skyline. Relieved of duty, Jack and Ted went below and turned in for a two-hour sleep.

"My dear friend," answered the old soldier and even his voice seemed to be bobbing up and down as he spoke "my dear friend, it would be madness to go home in your state; you would be sure to lose your money; you might be robbed and murdered with the greatest ease.
He saw everything and he enjoyed everything. Plainly he was the miscreant. He was waddling round on his stout little legs, flourishing a huge jack-knife, and grinning as if he were going to have a big dish of whale-fat for dinner. He looked comical enough.

'The first indeed I assure you the very first! A foolish curiosity; I really feel quite ashamed of myself; I throw myself upon your indulgence. The man had become voluble; he approached Miss Rodney smiling in a sickly way, his head bobbing forward. 'It's something, she replied, 'that you have still the grace to feel ashamed.
I could not long resist their example, and in a few minutes even Uncle Mark was dancing away as vigorously as any of us; Mike all the time kicking his heels, and bobbing his head with a rapidity which seemed to threaten the dislocation of his neck. It was the wildest scene imaginable, and any one observing us would have supposed that we had all gone mad.
He could see himself loading his belongings into Slim's old boat, his blankets and the tattered soogan and bobbing through the rapids with the blackened coffee-pot, the frying pan, and lard cans jingling in the bottom, while Sprudell, with his hateful, womanish smile, watched his ignominious departure. Bruce drew his sleeve across his damp forehead.
