Almost all the many-formed and strange-shaped inhabitants of the pool were hunting or being hunted, preying or being preyed upon, from the goggle-eyed, green-throated bullfrog under the willow root, down to the swarming animalculæ which it required a microscope to see.

Stepping quickly toward Mr. Locker, she asked him if he could tell her where she could find Miss Asher; she had been told she was in the grounds. The young man goggled his eye a little more than usual. "Do you know her?" said he.
Then Caleb realized how great an effort it must be costing the boy to make that slow descent in the face of his goggle-eyed stare, and with the most casual of good mornings he led the way to the table.
