The trail wound its way through a pleasant stretch of woodland where the birds sang cheerily, and occasionally a squirrel paused and cocked its head in pert amazement at this rude intrusion into its domain. It crossed a little brook where Tom and Roy had fished many times, and groped for pollywogs and crawfish when Tom was a tenderfoot at Temple Camp. Those were happy days.
Brenton attempted one last stand. "Have I any right to go slow, doctor, when there's a principle involved? Have I any right to suppress eternal truths " Then the doctor lost his temper. "Eternal pollywogs!" he burst out. "Man, you're daft. Who told you what truths are eternal? Who told you where science ends, and where theology begins? Who told you what we mean, when we say provable?
She had missed the open window, the four-foot drop to the floor, and a neighboring aquarium stocked with voracious fish: surely the gods of pollywogs were kind to me. The great fins were gone dissolved into blobs of dull pink; the tail was a mere stub, the feet drawn close, and a glance at her head showed that Guinevere had become a frog almost within an hour.
Booverman glanced down the four-hundred-yard straightaway and murmured to himself: "I wonder, little ball, whither will you fly? I wonder, little ball, have I bid you good-by? Will it be 'mid the prairies in the regions to the west? Will it be in the marshes where the pollywogs nest? Oh, tell me, little ball, is it ta-ta or good-by?"
This dike was very narrow, being just wide enough indeed for a narrow footpath. In advancing along this path it was very curious to observe the totally different aspects of the water on the two sides of it. On the one side it was turbid and gray, and perfectly opaque. You could not have seen the pollywogs in the shallowest places along the margin.
"They'll grow into real Frogs this summer, if nothing happens to them." "Where are Old Mr. Toad's last year's children?" asked Peter. "Don't ask me," replied Jerry. "They hopped away last summer. Never saw anything like the way those Toad youngsters grow. Those Toad pollywogs you see now will turn into real Toads, and be leaving the Smiling Pool in a few weeks. People think Old Mr.
Your Uncle Lawrence has been to hear a preacher from Boston, by the name of Channing, and is very much pleased. Have you ever heard him? It seems he is very famous in his own sect, who are infidels, or deists, or pollywogs, or atheists I don't know which it is. I believe they preach mere morality, and read essays instead of sermons.
Let us have our first swim of the season right now!" So they all went with a whoop! stripped off their clothes, and into their swimming breeches with a perfect riot of glee. Then how they did splash! Some blind folks thought it must be a million early pollywogs splashing. But the swim ended with another racket when the dinner bell rang.
That set Peter to watching sharper than ever, and presently he discovered that pollywogs have to keep their eyes open quite as much as do baby Rabbits, if they would live to grow up. There were several kinds of queer, ugly-looking bugs forever darting out at the wriggling pollywogs. Hungry-looking fish lay in wait for them, and Longlegs the Blue Heron seemed to have a special liking for them.
"Do you like church too?" he demanded. "I love it," she said. "Do you like pollywogs?" "Ugh, No!" "Or stripy snakes?" "They're horrid!" "Or forts?" "I don't know." "Or rifles an' revolvers?" "I am afraid of them." "Or dogs?" "I love dogs. I've got one home. His name is Pancho." "What kind is he?" asked Bobby with a vast sigh of relief at finding a common ground.
