"I am quite sure that Professor Tapper could not have been mistaken, however." "Has Professor Tapper ever been in the South Polar regions?" asked Billy, seriously. "Why, no," admitted the professor; "but he has proved that there must be a fur-bearing pollywog down here." "In what manner has he been able to prove it?" asked Harry. "He has written three volumes about it.
A colony pollywog! do, for gracious sake, catch one, put him into a glass bottle full of spirits, and send him to the Museum as a curiosity in natur. So you are a goin' to make your two nice pretty little smart boys a pair of colony frogs, eh? Oh! do, by all means. "You'll have great comfort in 'em, Squire. Monstrous comfort.
"Boys, let us head for it," he exclaimed; "it must be warm in the vicinity of the crater and perhaps we may find some sort of life existent there. Even the fur-bearing pollywog may reside there. Who knows?" All agreed, without much argument, that it came within the scope of their duties to investigate the volcano, and they soon were winging toward it.
'Well that Lance was not in this hubbub! thought deafened and amazed Wilmet. 'What has this to do with the tadpoles? she asked, in an endeavour to comprehend. 'We said she should be served out, sung Bernard, 'with a polly polly pollywog bath. 'But, Bernard, hush! Angel! don't you see it was no business of yours if Alda did forget?

As for the professor, he was in the seventh heaven of delight all the way back. He sat on a stern seat by the albatross, which was looking wildly about, and kept talking to it as if he thought it could understand him. "Ah, my beauty, I'll astonish Professor Tapper with you when I get home," he said; "you are worthy to be ranked with the fur-bearing South Polar pollywog.

Peter almost laughed right out as he watched the funny efforts of Longlegs to gulp that fish down his long throat. Then Longlegs resumed his old position as motionless as before. It was no trouble now for Peter to sit still, for he was too interested in watching this lone fisherman to think of leaving. It wasn't long before Longlegs made another catch and this time it was a fat Pollywog.
Do you remember what a Prince Rupert's drop is? I absolutely know you don't, and to save you the trouble of looking it up, I'll explain that it is a glass pollywog which holds together all right until you snap off the tip of its tail.
Once one came down on my head. I took a bee-line hike, too." "With a fried egg on your head?" "No-o-o. I'll show you how to make a thing to get olives out of the bottom of a bottle too; it's better than a hatpin, but a hatpin is good to catch pollywogs with. There's a Pollywog Patrol that comes to Temple Camp. Gee, I never knew that silver cup was in the car with me all the time."
Yet the Redfins, as typified by Guinevere, have done both, and given time enough, they may emulate or surpass the achievements of larval axolotls, or the astounding egg-producing maggots of certain gnats, thus realizing all the possibilities of froghood while yet cribbed within the lowly casing of a pollywog.
