'Dame, dame, what makes your ducks to squall, Duck to squall, duck to squall, duck to squall? Meeting o' pollywogs! Meeting wi' pollywogs? 'Hush, children, this is shocking, said Wilmet, in the low impressive voice by which she could always still a tumult. 'How could you take advantage of my absence to do this? 'Because Alda deserved it, cried Angela, bouncing downstairs. 'There, Alda!
There ain't no pumps now it's all fountain! Pump water is full of animalculæ, and straddle bugs don't exist in pond water of course not. Nobody ever see young pollywogs and snapping turtles floating down stream in fly-time. Certainly not! I'm getting old of course I am; that's the talk! I've been in office too long.
Mother o' God! we was O'Briens whin the Ark first landed; we was O'Briens whin yer ancestors if iver ye had anny was wigglin' pollywogs pokin' in the mud. We was kings in ould Oireland, begorry, whin ye was a mollusk, or maybe a poi-faced baboon swingin' by the tail. The gall of the loikes of ye to call yerselves min, and dhraw pay wid that sort of thing ferninst ye for a name!
"Of course I will be happy, so long as the money holds out, anyway," said she, with a laugh that grated harshly on her sister's ears. "Did you see any brides when you were away, Dexie, and how were they dressed?" "I wasn't searching for brides, Gussie. I confined my attention to pollywogs, crabs, and things of that ilk."
Always he had thought pollywogs just homely, wriggling things, not the least bit interesting, but since he had discovered how proud of them were Grandfather Frog and Old Mr. Toad, he had begun to wonder about them and then to watch them.
That puzzled Peter more than anything he had seen in a long time. "Why, I couldn't do that!" he exclaimed right out loud. "Do what?" demanded Jerry Muskrat, who happened along just then. "Why, grow a new tail like that pollywog," replied Peter, and told Jerry all that he had seen. Jerry laughed. "You'll see queerer things than that if you watch those pollywogs long enough," said he.
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."
To-night, in searching for comparisons, this old forgotten picture recurred to her mind; blithely memory brought it forth and threw it upon the screen. All London had become a glass-tank, filled with human pollywogs. She did not want to marry a title; she did not want to marry money; she did not want to marry at all.
Then the dirty-handed society went off the wash, followed by the Professor, trying to calm the anxiety of Rob, who had been told by Tommy that all water was full of invisible pollywogs. "I like your plan very much, only don't be too generous, Teddy," said Mrs. Bhaer, when they were left alone.
But the pollywogs were spry, and seemed to have learned to watch out. They seemed to Peter to spend all their time swimming and eating and growing. They grew so fast that it seemed to him that he could almost see them grow. And just imagine how surprised Peter was to discover one day that that very pollywog which he had seen lose his tail had grown a new one.
