"Let's put the puff cover around us," and rolled up in the big down coverlet the girls dove into their bumpy stockings, exclaiming or laughing over the contents, for evidently the boys had been in the secret, for out of Peggy's came a little bronze cow and calf labeled "C. and S." "Now what in the world does C. and S. stand for, I wonder?" she said.
The reason that nine out of ten village grounds are bad and bumpy is that they are not rolled soon enough after rain or after being watered. Roll and water them simultaneously, and they will be much improved. Another excellent plan is to soak the ground with clay and water, and leave it alone for a week or ten days before rolling. Permanent benefit will be done to the soil by this method.
The cards had been water-soaked and were bumpy and blistery where Billy Jones had dried them, even though they were flattened out again by the pressure of their tight case; but there was nothing to them, except that they were old Thompson's beyond a doubt. If I had thought there might be writing on them there was not so much as the scratch of a pencil. There seemed to be a card missing.
"Why, it isn't cold a bit, outside," said Trot, "so it can't be winter yet." "You will change your mind about that in a little while," declared the Bumpy Man. "My bumps always tell me the state of the weather, and they feel just now as if a snowstorm was coming this way. But make yourselves at home, strangers. Supper is nearly ready and there is food enough for all."
"But I'd rather be right on this boat, sailing out into the ocean. Just think, Rose! We've never been away out at sea before." "There was lots of ocean at Captain Ben's," said the girl. "I suppose the ocean is all the same everywhere. Just water. I hope it stays flat." "Stays flat?" repeated Russ, opening his eyes very wide. "Yes," said Rose gravely. "I don't like water when it's bumpy.
The birds were so intent on their eating that they did not notice what had happened to them, and when about twenty had been captured in this manner Cap'n Bill tied the ends of all the strings together and fastened them to a huge stone, so they could not escape. The Bumpy Man watched the old sailor's actions with much curiosity.
She loves her dice and treats 'em nice; No dice would treat her mean." He broke off and agitated the sidewalk to a bumpy gallop. "Daggone!" he muttered, half aloud. They would all be there the old crowd, the crowd to which, by right of the white house, sold long since, and the portrait of the officer in gray over the mantel, Jim should have belonged.
I thought of the aborigines. In my homesick mind their bumpy faces became things of transcendent beauty. I could have put my head on their combined shoulders and wept down their blue satin neckties. In my memory of Frau Knapf it seemed to me that I could discern a dim, misty halo hovering above her tightly wadded hair.
A recent visitor to the German agricultural experiment station at Halle describes "a curious hairy beast with great horns, a wild look in his eye, a white streak down his back and a bumpy forehead, which had in it blood from cattle which had lived on the plains of Thibet, which had grazed on the lowland pastures of Holland, which had roamed the forests of northeast India and of the Malay Peninsular, and had wandered through the forests of Germany.
As the driver chirruped to the horses and they clattered over the bumpy road, Grace turned to Betty with a smile. "I have realized the ambition of a life time!" she said dramatically. "I have seen one handsome cowboy!" To the girls, that jolting ride was like an adventure straight from the Arabian Nights.
