He drove by in style, lifted his chubby hand to his mother and shouted: "Dood-by, Doc-ter!" The Doctor waved a smiling answer, and lapsed into a long silence. He waked at last from his absorption to notice that Mary was day-dreaming. The fair brow was drawn into deep lines of brooding. "Why shadows in your eyes a day like this, little mother?" he asked softly. "Just thinking "
These credentials exchanged, the boy fell silent, while Grant looked down upon him with a whimsical admixture of humor and tenderness. Suddenly, without a word, the boy dashed as fast as his legs could carry him to the end of the field, and plunged into a clump of bushes. In a moment he emerged with something brown and chubby in his arms. "He's my teddy," he said to Grant.
Slowly the great snakes crawled through the valleys and the red warriors went riding back to the village to prepare for flight. One morning the Fire Eater sat beside his lodge fire playing with his young son a thing which usually made his eyes gleam. Now he looked sadly into the little face of the boy, who stood holding his two great scalp braids in his chubby hands.
Ten thousand men rose with a howl of anger when Walter Towne walked out on the stage. But they quieted down again as Dan Torkleson started to speak. It was a masterful display of rabble-rousing. Torkleson paced the stage, his fat body shaking with agitation, pointing a chubby finger again and again at Walter Towne. He pranced and he ranted.

Her feet and legs were chubby.
Bill was sitting on the stoop in his favorite posture. And in a moment there stood before him plain Mayhall Wells holding out the order Bill had given the parson that day. "Misto Richmond," he said, "I have come to tell you good-by." Now just above the selfish layers of fat under Flitter Bill's chubby hands was a very kind heart.
"You'll recognise it, she had said to me, by the roses on the balcony." There was not light enough to see the roses, but I fancied I could smell them. Advancing a few yards I saw her at the window watering flowers. She recognised me, laughed, and threw me kisses with her chubby little hand. Upon that a hand passing through the open window slapped her cheek.
Baker stared at him, one chubby hand on each fat knee. "Why, everybody," said he; "the people who can make use of it. You and I and the other fellow." "Especially the other fellow," put in Bob drily. Baker chuckled. "It's like any business," said he. "First-come collect at the ticket office for his business foresight. But we'll try out this hold-up before we lie down and roll over."
