We've 300 yards to run to get into the Redan, and when we get in where are we? Nowhere. Just in an open work where the Russians can bring their whole strength down upon us. I don't feel at all sure we're going to take the place to-morrow." "Why, Archer, you're a regular croaker!" one of the others said. "We shall have a laugh at you to-morrow evening."
"Come, come, you little croaker, try and put such thoughts out of your pretty head, and remember I 'deserve the fair' after having been so 'brave' as to mount this rickety wheel, but I wish you would take this parcel from me; the bobbins are in it, which I have perilled my life to bring! I hope you see my devotion clearly, eh?"
“Well, we’ll try,” said Bully. “We’ll see who can first swim to the other side of the pond, and whoever does it will get a stick of peppermint candy.” “Where can we get the candy?” asked Bawly. “Have you got it? For if you have I wish you’d give me a bite before we jump in the water, Bully.” “No, I haven’t it,” replied his brother. “But I know Grandpa Croaker will give it to us after the race.
Owen was what his teacher at school always described as "conservative." He lacked the impulsive sanguine disposition of Steve. At the same time he was no "croaker," and far from being a "doubting Thomas." Owen often acted as a safety brake in connection with his chums.
And with that the savage creature with the double-jointed tail put out his claws, and in one claw he grabbed Uncle Wiggily and in the other he caught Grandpa Croaker, and there he had them both. Now, it so happened that a little while before this, Bully and Bawly No-Tail, the frog boys, had started out for a walk in the woods.
“I certainly will not get off!” said the snake, firmly, “and what’s more I’m going to catch you, too!” And with that he reached out like lightning and grabbed Grandpa, and wound himself around him and the toadstool also, and there the poor gentleman frog was, tight fast! “Oh! Oh! You’re squeezing the life out of me!” cried Grandpa Croaker. “That’s what I intend to do,” spoke the snake, savagely.
“Where are you going?” asked their papa, just then coming in from the wallpaper factory. “To the circus,” said Bawly. “Grandpa Croaker will take us.” “Ha! Hum!” exclaimed Papa No-Tail. “I am very busy, but I guess I can spare the time to take you. We won’t bother Grandpa.”
Well, I can prate with thee, grey croaker, no more: thou growest worse and worse Vale! O Hercules, send us a man for the lion and another for the tiger! Ho! ho! for the merry, merry show, With a forest of faces in every row!
"Ten pounds seemed such wealth," he said, with a sudden thought that his days in a garret were over when he chose. "It is very little," she repeated. "I could have got you more. Still there are some other things I have in view for you." A sudden wave of gratitude made him ashamed that he had ever for a moment listened to Drexley the lunatic, and Rice, miserable croaker.
He tugged gently at the lead rope and walked Shiloh ahead at a pace which did not urge Shadow to any great effort. The mule, Croaker, fell in behind her so that they were strung out in the familiar pattern which had been theirs clear from Texas. Minutes later her owner was rubbing down the fretful Shadow, murmuring the soothing words to quiet her.
