It's it's mighty ticklish, Massa Tom-dat's de word it suah am mighty ticklish!" Tom Swift laughed and increased the speed. The Butterfly darted forward like some hummingbird about to launch itself upon a flower, and, indeed, the revolutions of the propeller were not unlike the vibrations of the wings of that marvelous little creature. "Now for some corkscrew twists!" cried the young inventor.
She put her bucket down with a gasp of weariness, and looked up into his eyes with a smile. The buckets were heavy in Joe's hands; he stood them down, meeting her friendly advances with one of his rare smiles, which came as seldom to his face, thought she, as a hummingbird to the honeysuckle on the kitchen porch. "Whew, this is going to be a scorcher!" said she. "I believe it is," he agreed.
Only one bird was quick enough to catch up with him and that one was such a tiny fellow that he seemed hardly bigger than a big insect. It was Hammer the Hummingbird. He followed Chatterer clear to the old stone wall.
"Do you remember, Frantz, when the Princess Hummingbird entered your room, holding her little head very straight under a diadem of birds' feathers?" Frantz did not reply. He was too deeply moved to reply.
You're just a little hummingbird. You ain't a real horse." With a leap the pony reared. Still there came no sting of spur or quirt. She dropped to her feet. Collie had cleverly consumed a minute of the allotted time. "One minute!" called Williams, holding the watch. "Why, that ain't ridin'," grumbled an Oro man.
Weeds and parasites have the odds greatly against them, yet they wage a very successful war nonetheless. The woods hold not such another gem as the nest of the hummingbird. The finding of one is an event to date from. It is the next best thing to finding an eagle's nest. I have met with but two, both by chance.
"Does this Kinglet lay two little white eggs, like the Hummingbird?" asked Nat. "No," said the Doctor, "this sturdy bird lays eight or ten white eggs with brown spots." "Ten eggs!" cried Dodo. "How can it sit on them all at once and keep them warm enough to hatch?" "Perhaps the birds stir the eggs up every day to give them all an even chance," said Rap.
She had an instinct for choiceness like a hummingbird, darting here and there for sweetness. Her flutterings were never of uncertainty but such as kept her in the perfect airy poise.
There are displayed tiny caves and grottoes of white coral, star-fishes, sea-urchins, growing sponges, sea-fans, and bright-colored fishes, including the hummingbird fish, and others like butterflies with mottled fins and scales, together with that little oddity, the rainbow-fish.
That gave, her the idea of introducing a touch of living interest, so bearing down upon the flowers from the upper right-hand corner of her drawing she deftly sketched in a ruby-throated hummingbird, and across the bottom of the sheet the lace of a few leaves of fern. Then she returned the drawing and pencil to her knapsack, and making sure of her footing, worked her way forward.
