Laying hold of this same little basket, I thrust my hand under the newspaper with which it was carefully covered. "What's this, my dear?" cried I; for the black neck of a bottle had popped out of the basket. "A bottle of Kalydor, Mr. Bullfrog," said my wife, coolly taking the basket from my hands and replacing it on the front seat.
Buckram, gathering all the money up again, 'I believe it was this 'ere, beginning to drop them to half-minute time, and talking very slowly; 'the oss, I believe, got the better of Lord Bullfrog one day, somewhere a little on this side of Thrussinton that, you know, is where Sir 'Arry built his kennels between Mount Sorrel and Melton in fact and havin' got his Lordship off, who, I should tell you, is an uncommon fat 'un, he wouldn't let him on again, and he 'ad to lead him the matter of I don't know 'ow many miles'; Mr.
The views having been completed, it was now considered safe to load the precious Monument itself upon the backs of four of the largest Tortoises and send it home to the king's museum, which was done; and when it arrived it was received with enormous Mat and escorted to its future abiding-place by thousands of enthusiastic citizens, King Bullfrog XVI. himself attending and condescending to sit enthroned upon it throughout the progress.
Wasn't it I that said I knew there was an engagement between Tim Chipmunk and Nancy Nibble, who are married this very day? I knew that thing six weeks before any bird or beast in our parts; and I can tell you, you are going to be scandalously and ungratefully treated, Dr. Bullfrog." "Bless me, we shall all be ruined!" said Mrs. Bullfrog; "my poor husband "
Now there was the plaintive cry of one of the goat-suckers which hawked for moths and beetles round the great trees; then, after a silence so profound that it was painful, came the deep croak of the bullfrog rising and falling and coming from a hundred different directions at once.
"Oh, she'd jump at you like a bullfrog at red flannel," Chadron assured him. "I could put your uniform on a wooden man and marry him off to the best girl in seven states. They never think of lookin' under a soldier's vest." "You flatter me, Mr. Chadron, and the uniform of the United States army," returned King, with barely covered contempt.
"Ah-rr-oomp, ah-rr-oomp, ba-rr-oomp," came from the edge of the water the deep cry of the bullfrog; from the further end of the lake came the strange gobble, gurgle and gulp of the shitepoke, the small green heron which is the flitting ghost of shaded creeks and haunting thing of marshy courses everywhere.
And why," he continued, "should the excellent men not rejoice, Tom? Are they not the very men who should be happy? Is a minister to be for ever boxed up in his pulpit for ever to be wagging his pow, bald, black, or grizzled as it may be, beneath his sounding board, like a bullfrog below a toadstool.
Not another sound told of his presence till he broke out onto the shore, fifty yards above, and went steadily on his way up the lake. Mooween is something of a humorist in his own way. When not hungry he will go out of his way to frighten a bullfrog away from his sun-bath on the shore, for no other purpose, evidently, than just to see him jump.
Emboldened by her indulgence, I threw back the calash from her polished brow, and suffered my fingers, white and delicate as her own, to stray among those dark and glossy curls which realized my daydreams of rich hair. "My love," said Mrs. Bullfrog tenderly, "you will disarrange my curls." "Oh, no, my sweet Laura!" replied I, still playing with the glossy ringlet.
