"It was not; it was that man," cried Philip; and Ike burst out into a hearty laugh. "Am I to order you out of the room, sir?" cried Sir Francis, severely. "All right, your worship! No," cried Ike. Plop! "Now, Philip, go on." "Yes, pa.
"But since then?" "No." "Wal, he was tellin' me that he'd got you on the hip this time, Hen. If you as much as put your hoof over on that track he's fighting you about, he'll plop you in jail, that's what he'll do! He's got a warrant all made out by Jedge Perkins. I seen it." Uncle Henry walked closer to the old man and looked down at him from his great height.
The gesture was inimitable. "And the butterfly, she do not come down, plop! She float so!" The grimy hands fluttered and sank. "They do, do they? Well, you put it down on the sidewalk." From that moment the outside world ceased to exist for the urchin. He fell to with concentrated fervor, while Peter Quick Banta and I diverted the traffic.
The spot took uncertain form high above the ghost-glow rising from the unseen stockade. For an instant it hung suspended, pale-greenish, evanescent. Then, as a faint plop! drifted to the watchers a sound no louder than a feeble clack of the tongue this indefinite luminosity began to sink, to fade, falling slowly, gradually dissipating itself in the dim light over the stockade.
He would calm down a little, then would murmur through his tears: 'I thought what's that splash and there he went plop. And with the last word, forced out with convulsive effort, his whole frame was shaking with another burst of laughter. Zoya made him worse.

Now and again for a change you had a foot of water on top of fearfully slippery harder mud, and then we light-heartedly took headers into the bush, sideways, or sat down; and when it was not proceeding on the evil tenor of its way, like this, it had holes in it; in fact, I fancy the bottom of the holes was the true level, for it came near being as full of holes as a fishing-net, and it was very quaint to see the man in front, who had been paddling along knee-deep before, now plop down with the water round his shoulders; and getting out of these slippery pockets, which were sometimes a tight fit, was difficult.
We heard a plop; Lady stopped and looked round. She must have heard us bellowing to her as we ran. Then she came towards us, prancing with happiness, but we said 'Down! and 'Bad dog! and ran sternly on. When we came to the brook which forms the northern boundary of the paddock we saw the sheep struggling in the water.
Vines are loaded. Nice and ripe, too. Watch."
