The Kentuckian had no idea of the passing of time; it was all part of the knowledge that slow movements, not swift ones, would prevent new panic. The blanket was shown, allowing the black to sniff down its surface, before it was flapped back and forth across the colt’s back, and finally left there. Now the saddle. And with that cinched into place, the black stood quietly beside Croaker.
"Then let him rise up and come on!" cried Bob, fiercely, as he sprang up and released Martin. "Ay, that's fair. Now then, Martin, remember the kitten!" "Strike men of your own size!" cried several of the bigger boys, as they interposed to prevent Martin from rushing into the unequal contest. "So I will," cried Bob Croaker, glaring round with passion. "Come on any of you that likes.
It's what I'm looking fur." "Oh, pshaw!" replied the young skipper. "What a gammy old croaker you are. They won't start to-day, anyhow. But here, take her a minute, while I go aloft for one more look before sundown to make sure."
Hideous blots there are ugly cankers amid our civilisation but we grow better year by year, and the general movement is towards honesty, helpfulness, goodness, purity. Whenever any croaker begins speaking about the golden age that is gone, I advise my readers to try a system of cross-examination.
"You old croaker!" Will exclaimed. "Why, we ought to be able to beat them with twice that handicap." "Look out, Mollie has reached the point, fellows!" Allen shouted. "Now's the time!" Without more ado, the boys struck out bravely, determined to overtake the girls in the shortest time possible. They found it was not so easy, however, as might have been anticipated.
And then my nurse, who was what the doctor calls a croaker, began on a long series of stories of ladies who, having "let themselves down" had died, either at childbirth or soon afterwards. "It's after a lady feels it if she has to nurse her baby," said the nurse, "and I couldn't be responsible neither for you nor the child if you don't do yourself justice."
At that instant, as if to verify the prophecy of the croaker, the stalwart boatswain, with the assistance of the carpenter, lifted the grating off the main hatch. Most of the rebels retreated to their rooms; but it was a false alarm, for the two adult seamen, instead of coming below themselves, only lifted up the ladder, and drew it on deck, restoring the grating when it was done.
That’s a good boy!” said Grandpa Croaker, in his deepest voice, as he hopped out of the yard to go over and play checkers with Uncle Wiggily Longears. “A very good boy, indeed. Here is a penny for you,” and he gave Bully a bright, new one. “I’m going to buy some marbles, as I lost all mine,” said Bully, as he thanked his Grandpa very kindly and hopped off to the store.
He collaborated with F. Halleck in the Croaker Papers, and wrote "The Culprit Fay" and "The American Flag." Historian, b. at St. Helen's, Lancashire, emigrated to Virginia, and was a prof. in the Univ. of New York. Poet, b. in Warwickshire, was in early life page to a gentleman, and was possibly at Camb. or Oxf. His earliest poem, The Harmonie of the Church, was destroyed.
"Oh, sir, let me out! There's Bob Croaker with my kitten. He's going to drown it. I know he is, he said he would; and if he does aunty will die, for she loves it next to me; and I must save it, and and, if you don't let me out you'll be a murderer!" At this concluding burst, Martin sprang forward and stood before his master with clenched fists and a face blazing with excitement.
