When a realising sense of the conditions had duly dawned on the not over-quick mind of the master of Greenwood, he put pride in his pocket and himself astride of Joggles, and rode of an afternoon to Boxley, as the Hennions' place was named. Without allusion to their last interview, he announced to the senior of the house that he wished to talk over the election. "He, he, he!" snickered Hennion.
Sometimes they keep a museum in the drawers of a bureau; but that is not a very good plan." "Why not?" said Rollo. "Because, when you open and shut the drawers, it joggles the curiosities about." "Does it?" said Rollo. "Yes," replied Jonas. "But there is one thing you can do I did not think of it before.
I could say more; for, O little children! little children! there is more than meat in many an egg-shell; and many a fool tells a story that joggles a wise man's wits, and many a man dances and junkets in his fool's paradise till it comes tumbling down about his ears some day; and there are few men who are like Selim the Fisherman, who wear the Ring of Wisdom on their finger, and, alack-a-day!

With a sigh of relief that the goal was attained, she passed through the partly open doorway and paused at last, breathless from her exertion. On the instant she caught her breath, however, and then demanded, "Who 's there?" A whinny from Joggles was the only response.

Tom Selwyn was saying, "oh, there's where I can come in fine with assistance. I'm no good in a letter." And again he rushed from the room. "That's three times that boy has gone out," announced Adela, "and he joggles the table awfully when he starts. And he made me cut clear into that edge. See, Polly."
Each stone was fastened to its neighbour above, below, and around by means of dovetails, joggles, oaken trenails, and mortar. Each course was thus built from its centre to its circumference, and as all the courses from the foundation to a height of thirty feet were built in this way, the tower, up to that height, became a mass of solid stone, as strong and immovable as the Bell Rock itself.
