After a moment's indecision he began awkwardly to jounce it, teeter it, rock it back and forth, and to pat it jerkily. "Oh, come, come, pretty baby, good baby, hush, hush," he begged again, frantically. Perhaps it was the change of position; perhaps it was the novelty of the motion, perhaps it was only utter weariness, or lack of breath.
Her mother knows CRANBERRIES, and how to tend them, and pick them, and put them up, and market them; and not another blamed thing! Her and her daughter can't be any more company for each other NOW than mud turtle and bird o' paradise. Poor thing, she was looking for a baby to jounce; I think she's struck a disapp'intment." "Sandy, what will they do stay unhappy forever in heaven?"
The lantern, that had been overturned in the struggle, still burned, giving a faint light. Jounce hung it on a pin in the wall, and then turned to his companion, who had lifted a small trap door not far from the center of the room. A gust of damp air, full of a moldy smell, came up. "What's that?" questioned Jounce. "An old well. They say it's forty feet down to the mud and water.
Unless when we strike a bump." Just then they did "strike a bump," and Delight was almost frightened at the jounce she received. "Oh," she exclaimed, "it it takes your breath away, but but I think it's very nice." "Plucky girl!" said King, and as that was the highest compliment he could pay a girl, Marjorie felt a thrill of pleasure that King was going to like Delight after all.
He rapidly read an amazing lyric beginning, "Motorists, you hadn't better monkey with the carburetor, all the racers, all the swells, have equipped their cars with Kells. We are privileged to announce what will give the trade a jounce, that the floats have been improved like all motorists would have loved." He broke off and shouted, "Punk last line, but I'll fix it up.
When I think of him and then of myself it gives me a good deal of a jounce. It surprises me that I ever had the conceit to think I could handle this parson proposition. Lately I've not been over-cheerful about it. That's one reason why your letter did me good.
"I might spill a little blood I s'pose," he muttered aloud, "but I reckin I'll let you live awhile yet." Then he turned as if to depart. "Don't go yet," cried the young cottage-owner, as his eye caught sight of a man approaching from the wood road. His thought was that with help he might capture the tramp. "Wal, why not?" Perry Jounce halted. "I want you to answer a few questions." "Heave ahead."
"You have been my evil genius always, Iris Jounce. It was a sorry day that I married you. You deceived me by leading me to believe that you had money." "I know now that it was for money alone that you married me.
She climbed up on a Rabbit's back, and looked in. A cat had eaten out the inside. "This will do very well for me," said she, "and I feel like having a nap by this time, if only somebody would pull my wire!" The Rabbit knew of a dragon-fly who was strong in his feelers; but the Large Doll had an objection to dragon-flies, so she flung herself in with a jounce, and that closed her eyes.
"With the unlimited authority I have in bestowing titles," said Jack, "I have a mind to make you an Emir. But it's a pity that you haven't a camel squatting under your date-tree and placidly chewing his cud." "A tempting thought!" declared the Doge unctuously. "Bob Worther could ride him on the tours of inspection. I think the jounce would be almost as good a flesh-reducer as pedestrianism."
