To begin with, we were ourselves funny-looking enough, for my donkey was so small that he could almost walk under the belly of my saddle-horse at home, and my feet almost touched the ground.
"I can't, Tom," she said, wondering if Norah would have been able to guess, and fearing that Tom must think her a very stupid little girl indeed. But Tom only laughed gleefully. "I knew you couldn't," he said; "and I don't expect you'll know what to call it, even when you've seen it." He knelt down on the moss and opened the handkerchief, exhibiting a funny-looking, spiky ball.
He was a funny-looking little chap about the build of a wooden toothpick, but he looked as if he was made of steel wire. We soon struck up a conversation, and his "Cockney" sure did sound funny to me; he was one of the sappers, and when he found that I had left the Infantry to join them he was disgusted. "Well," said he, "you are a bloomin' ass.
"Eheu! what a funny-looking old cove," said Charlie, gazing after the canoe, "I should like to cultivate his acquaintance." "Well, you have the opportunity," rejoined Fanny, the third member of our party. "They are going to land on that point just ahead of us."
"Kind of funny-looking, though, isn't it?" commented Mazie. "Father'd love it, so'd Aunt Hattie," avowed Dorothy, evidently not slow to detect the lack of appreciation in Mazie's voice. "And I do, too," she finished, with a tinge of defiance. Mazie laughed. "Well, all right, you may, for all I care," she retorted.
The old tortoise buries these in the loose sand near the water's edge, and leaves them to be hatched by the heat of the sun. The little tortoise, when it comes out of the shell, is about as big as a large spider it is a funny-looking thing. I have heard some of the Indians say that they dive into the water, and swim, as soon as they are hatched; but this I am not sure of.
"'A ballplayer? he'd say, throwing his hands up in the air. 'What do you mean? How can you make a living as a ballplayer? I don't understand why a grown man would wear those funny-looking suits in the first place. "'Well, I'd answer. 'You see policemen with uniforms on, and other people like that. They change after they're through working. It's the same way with ballplayers."
"I thought no villagers curtsied any more now in England. That very funny-looking old lady might have been a royalty!" "It is because she has never had a doubt but that she is or something higher complete owner of all these souls," he returned, "that they have not yet begun to doubt it either.
"In the centre of the court was a beautiful marble fountain, with streams of sugar plums and bon-bons tumbling out of it. Funny-looking little men were filling cornucopias at the fountain, and pretty little barefoot children, with chubby hands and dimpled shoulders, took them as soon as they were filled, and ran off with them.
"They put them in a row, with the roots in the air," replied Forester. "They make a funny-looking fence." Just at this time Marco perceived a large town coming into view before them, which, Forester told him, was Bath. There were several ships building along the shore of the river. Marco and Forester found a small steamboat at Bath, going up the river, and they took passage in it to Hallowell.
