Frog's shop and make him take the stitches out," Fatty Coon said. "And if he has any more of those gingersnaps, I wish you'd let me know." As soon as old Mr. Crow pushed open the door of Mr. Frog's tailor's shop, Mr. Frog jumped up quickly. He had been sitting cross-legged upon a table, sewing. And when he leaped off the table he sprang so high that his head struck the ceiling.
A fifteen-dollar poem would make them happy for a week; and when some of my editors were slow to pay-on the literary frontiers there is a great deal of this sort of procrastination Uncle Gingersnaps was always hot to put the matter into the hands of his collectors, and commence legal proceedings in default. Little by little I drifted into a curious intimacy with the Grossenstecks.
"Get up, Alan; you're right on them!" "On what?" inquired the boy lazily, without stirring. "On the gingersnaps. Mamma gave me some to put in my pocket, in case we should get hungry, and here you've been sitting on top of them, all the way!" There was an accent of despair in Polly's tone. Alan rose, and she plunged her hand into her pocket.
Can I really cook at the dear stove, and have parties and mess, and sweep, and make fires that truly burn? I like it so much! What made you think of it?" "Your liking to make gingersnaps with Asia made me think of it," said Mrs. Bhaer, holding Daisy, who frisked as if she would fly.
While their true inwardness was incomprehensible to him, they made him look wonderingly at the housekeeper whenever he met her, and when he accepted her gingersnaps and other tempting delicacies, he did so with a sense of wickedness that limited his gratefulness. A retired dry goods dealer and his good-hearted old wife lived on the second floor.
It was after they had finished the lobster, the egg sandwiches, the buttered rolls and gingersnaps and were delicately eating some wild strawberries the children had gathered, that Molly made a sudden resolution to plunge Mary into a confession. "If you lent some one a diamond pin and she were to lose it would you be very very vexed, Aunt Ada?" she asked, after a hasty glance at Mary.
"Just look here!" she said accusingly, as she drew out a crumpled paper bag. Alan caught it from her hand and peered down into it. "Pulverized gingersnaps!" he exclaimed. "Want some, Jessie?" "I'm so hungry, I'm thankful for anything," she replied. "Let's eat up the largest pieces ourselves, Polly, and make Alan take the dust for his share, for he was the one to blame."
He had never dreamed that those big brown buttons, which Mr. Frog had sewed upon his coat, were nothing but gingersnaps. "If I'd known that I would have eaten them myself!" he exclaimed. "But I don't care. Now that I can get out of this heavy coat, I'm satisfied." But to Mr. Crow's dismay, the coat clung round him as tightly as ever. He couldn't throw it open at all.
Nancy could put a whole one of those gingersnaps you always have into her mouth without breaking it." "Oh dear. I'm afraid she has the Billings mouth." "We then got to talking about growing moustaches, and Nancy bet Teddy she could grow one before he could." "How disgusting! That's what comes of all this emancipation. Marcus Aurelius has a lot to say about it. I must look that up. Did she win?"
And I reckin that's the cause of my bein' here to-day, accused of bein' feeble-minded. But, even so, I don't regret it none. Ef it was all to do over ag'in, I'd do it jest the very same way. "Why, I never knowed whut it was, till here two months or so ago, to have my fill of bananas and candy and gingersnaps, and all sech knickknacks ez them.
