There was no end to the fun to be got out of froggy, and Olly amused himself with it the whole of the morning, while Milly went through long stories with her dolls upstairs, helped every now and then by Aunt Emma, who sat knitting and talking to mother. At dinner the children had to sit quiet while Mr. and Mrs. Norton and Aunt Emma talked.
Lance did his best to organise his party, but it was a failure; Fulbert said he had made an engagement, and would not break it; he was not bound to toady old Froggy, nor in bondage to any old fogeys of a dean and chapter; and he walked off the faster for Clement's protest, leaving Lance to roll on the floor and climb the balusters backwards to exhale his desire to follow.
Froggy 'who would a-wooing go, return quickly to your mother, without making any impertinent remarks about 'gammon and spinach' on the way, or something much more savage than the 'lily-while duck' will surely gobble you up! Stay in doors patiently, until sunrise sends the rough-clawed prowler back to his heronry again." "May we go to see the Herons some day?
"Froggy Waters," chose Fatty and poor little Marmaduke was left to the last, as if he were the worst player in the whole world. "Well," said Dicky, "I spouse I've got to take him. But he'll lose the game for us." He turned to Marmaduke. "I'll tell you what, Marmy," he said, "you can be the spectators a whole pile of them in the grand stand. Wouldn't you like to be a grand stand? That's great.
He has a froggy head, and a back like a new grave for shape; and hands like a bird's toes that have been frostbitten. But his eyes are his exhibition feature.
Full of froggy sorts of things. I went out to that farm six years ago, just to look around it again. But you're right. I did love that mud pond, once." "Right up to that seventh summer," Pilch said. "Which was the summer your father's cousin spent her vacation on the farm with you." Trigger nodded. "Perhaps. I don't remember the time too well." "Well," Pilch said, "she was a brilliant woman.
'Oh, then he minds so much that one can't do it, you know. 'What, does he punish you ? 'N no he never licks any of us now but he is so horridly sorry and it bothers him so, said Lance. 'Here's old Froggatt's, he concluded, stopping at the glass door. Burrowes, that's Redstone; Felix is out there, getting out the sermon paper for that fat one, and that's old Froggy himself, bowing away.
"Rikli! what a fearful noise! come here to me! what has happened now?" The girl screamed louder and hid her face in the skirts of her mother's dress. "Now, just look at the innocent cause of this ridiculous disturbance, mother," said Fred. "Only this pretty, dear little froggy, that I caught, and was holding out for Rikli to admire.
That he had not her address she knew, for Froggy was under a solemn vow to reveal nothing, but she would not believe that he would regard her failure to keep tryst as a deliberate effort to snub him, though the fear that he might do so haunted and grew upon her all through the day.
She has, besides, an inestimable slimy, froggy pond, a perpetual treasure of malodorous water, much pined after by thirsty flowers; and then does she not live in the middle of a farmyard flowing with fertilising properties that only require a bucket and a shovel to transform them into roses? The way in which people miss their opportunities is melancholy.
