In it she became quiet and thoughtful would allow herself to be called and guided; then too, she would seem to feel some affection for her mother; and when the sun sank, and the outer and inward change took place, she would sit still and sorrowful, shrivelled up into the form of a frog, though the head was now much larger than that little animal's, and therefore she was uglier than ever: she looked like a miserable dwarf, with a frog's head and webbed fingers.
On the warm mud of the edges, the frog's little tadpole basks and frisks in its black legions; down in the water, the orange-bellied newt steers his way slowly with the broad rudder of his flat tail; among the reeds are stationed the flotillas of the caddis worms, half protruding from their tubes, which are now a tiny bit of stick and again a turret of little shells.
He was to wake the maiden instantly and carry her off, and to be sure not to pay any heed to whatever resistance she might make. The Prince obeyed the Frog's orders one by one, and all went well for this second time also. The gate opened, the inhabitants fell sound asleep, and he walked down the passage till he found the girl on her bed, exactly as he had been told he would.
It is the same room, the same London atmosphere, which no moral influence will ever purify, and pretty much the same surroundings, for Mrs Frog's outward circumstances have not altered much in a worldly point of view. The neighbours in the court are not less filthy and violent. One drunken nuisance has left the next room, but another almost as bad has taken his place.
The worry creases between men's eyes were being ironed out. A few who had money, taking advantage of cheap labor and materials, began to build. Dick Holden came home, with a trunkful of presents for his friends and another of English clothes for himself, and at once became busy. The Quentins were still hanging on "by a frog's hair," David said. But they had paid. It always costs to survive.
It remains for you to give place to others; to endure neglect, and keep your complaints to yourself. Nay, more. Should some slave whisper that you alone withheld your praise, when his mistress's favourite danced or played, the neglect may cost you dear. Then let your dry throat be as busy as any thirsty frog's.
At this moment two people were seen approaching. One of them was a man of middle height and perhaps five-and-thirty years of age; he was stout and thick-built; he had a fat face with bulging cheeks; his eyes were rather like a frog's; he leant very much forward as he walked, and swayed gently from side to side with a rolling swagger; and as his body rolled, his eye rolled too, and he looked this way and that with a jovial leer and a smile of contentment and amusement on his face.
Let us look at Mrs Frog's room now, and listen to her as she sits on one side of a cheerful fire, sewing, while Hetty sits on the other side, similarly occupied, and Matty, alias Mita, lies in her crib sound asleep.
Frog drew himself up proudly and leaned against a stump, with his feet crossed, exactly as if he was having his picture taken. Bobby Bobolink looked at him. And all at once he burst out laughing. Now it was Mr. Frog's turn to feel uncomfortable. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Isn't my tie straight?" "Oh, I dare say your tie's correct," Bobby Bobolink told him.
"I want you to make me a new coat a big one that will cover my back all over." To his great disappointment Mr. Frog shook his head with great force. "I'm not interested," he announced. "Do you mean" Timothy Turtle faltered "do you mean that you won't make a coat for me?" "Exactly!" "Why?" Timothy pressed him. "Too busy!" was Mr. Frog's answer. "Who is?" "You are!" said Mr. Frog.
