You see, Tom was just the same as a regular lawyer, nearly, because it was Arkansaw law for a prisoner to choose anybody he wanted to help his lawyer, and Tom had had Uncle Silas shove him into the case, and now he was botching it and you could see the judge didn't like it much. All that the mud-turtle got out of Lem and Jim was this: he asked them: "Why didn't you go and tell what you saw?"
There are also a clean race of frogs and tortoises, and a few mussels in it; muskrats and minks leave their traces about it, and occasionally a travelling mud-turtle visits it. Sometimes, when I pushed off my boat in the morning, I disturbed a great mud-turtle which had secreted himself under the boat in the night.
"They're long and thin, like worms, only bigger. Oh, it's a mud-turtle!" Bunny exclaimed as he came closer, "A great big mud-turtle, Sue," "Will he will he bite? "He might. He's got a head like a lobster's claw," replied Bunny. "But he won't bite me 'cause I won't let him get hold of my finger." "He might bite our dog! Come away, Splash!" Sue cried.
No matter about its lips; with a heart to know the "spring running" we should have heard its story long ago. If we could happen upon the mud-turtle mad with love, I am sure we should find that he had a voice a "soft, sibilant croak," who knows?
Many a village Bose, fit only to course a mud-turtle in a victualling cellar, sported his heavy quarters in the woods, without the knowledge of his master, and ineffectually smelled at old fox burrows and woodchucks' holes; led perchance by some slight cur which nimbly threaded the wood, and might still inspire a natural terror in its denizens; now far behind his guide, barking like a canine bull toward some small squirrel which had treed itself for scrutiny, then, cantering off, bending the bushes with his weight, imagining that he is on the track of some stray member of the jerbilla family.
They listened, but they could not hear the clanging of the trolley car gong. It was very still and quiet in the woods, except, now and then, when Splash would run through the dried leaves, looking for another mud-turtle, perhaps. "I'm hungry!" Sue exclaimed. "I want to go home, Bunny!" "So do I," said the little fellow, "but I don't seem to know where our home is." "Oh!
Every man shrunk up and disappeared in his clothes like a mud-turtle. My first impulse was to dash forward and destroy the Bedouins. My second was to dash to the rear to see if there were any coming in that direction. I acted on the latter impulse. So did all the others. If any Bedouins had approached us, then, from that point of the compass, they would have paid dearly for their rashness.
Will was now shoving, Aunt Stanshy and Charlie hauling, while the man tried to grasp the sides of the steps; and so, out of the slime and the mist and the night, up into the light, and then into Aunt Stanshy's barn, came the face of old Tim Tyler! "Horrors!" said Aunt Stanshy, startled by this unexpected sight of the second mud-turtle.
Now when I say: 'ready, quack real loud." So the three duck children went softly up to a bush right behind where that fisherman I mean fisherboy was sitting. All this while the fairy prince was talking to the boy, and asking to be let go, for the hook hurt him. The boy finally did take the hook out, not hurting the mud-turtle any more than he could help, for he was not a bad boy.
You're a little quitter, you are, and sometimes I think you're out for bigger game." "It don't mean because a girl was born in the mud she's got to stick there, does it?" "No, but she can't pretend she don't know one of the old mud-turtles when she sees one." "Mud-turtle is the right name." "The crowd has got your number, all right, kiddo; they know you're out after bigger game.
