He made up his mind then and there that he would never again invite Grandfather Mole to walk with him. A GREAT eater was Grandfather Mole. And having an enormous appetite he was fortunate in being expert at finding angleworms.
In that one point more than in any other showed the expert. The water was his ammunition, a definite and limited quantity of it. To "get the logs out with the water" was the last word of praise to be said for the river driver. The more logs, the greater the glory.
Then, under the great balloon jib topsail my little ship flew off like a scared bird and disappeared behind the edges of the cliffs. "Byes, did yer ever see the like o' that?" shouted an old fisherman, enthusiastically. "My, but Sammy's a lucky dog ter be gettin' sich a sail. I'd give a quintal fer the chance."

All you've got to do is to wind her up every week, and then leave her alone she will take care of the alarm herself. "After that we had a most tranquil season during three months.

His "Hebrew Accents" reveals Arthur Davis in these two aspects.
The Baby became expert in dodging hastily by, with his eyes upon the windows; the dream of his life was to see the gymnastics performed again; at length it was realised. The thing we desire most is often the thing that brings us woe. The Baby caught sight of Helen practising her beautiful attitudes. He hung on to a rail of the verandah, and gazed and gazed.
