"Excuse me, I always sit down to watch a tadpole." "Yet I have seen you poised on one leg for an hour like a heron, afraid to put down the other foot lest you should scare some wretched pollywog. Why?" "I do it for the love of the thing, Dick. What is a page of your crooked signs compared with a single green pond and all that it holds?" "By Jove!
These little creatures adhered strongly to any substance that they were laid on, and caused an irritating feeling to the skin if placed on it; they swam with great rapidity when put into seawater, and in their movements in swimming much resembled a tadpole; their tails were merely long transparent fibres.
A man of fine mind rather than of brilliant talents, Lord Marney found, in the more vivid and impassioned intelligence of Coningsby, the directing sympathy which he required. Tadpole looked upon his lordship as little short of insane. 'Do you see that man? he would say as Lord Marney rode by. 'He might be Privy Seal, and he throws it all away for the nonsense of Young England! Mrs.
"Yes, that is the worst of Tadpole! he is so self-righteous as to imagine he deserves praise for standing on his rights! He is but a dog, you see, and knows no better!" "I noticed you disregarded his appeal." "I was not going to praise him for nothing!" "You expect them to understand your treatment?" "No one can tell how infinitesimally small the beginnings of understanding, as of life, may be.

How would it be, then, if we were to take the insect from its starting-point when it is only a worm, that is to say, merely and simply a digestive tube? for I am only telling you a small portion of its history here; a history you must know, which reveals a miracle still more wonderful than the transformation of the little tadpole into the frog!
"Besides it will frighten the saints," said Mr Tadpole. "If we could get him to speak at Exeter Hall were it only a slavery meeting that would do." "It is difficult," said Taper; "he must be pledged to nothing not even to the right of search.
'We have reduced Shabbyton at the last registration under three hundred. 'And the Wesleyans! said Tadpole. 'We never counted on the Wesleyans! 'I am told these Wesleyans are really a respectable body, said Lord Fitz- Booby. 'I believe there is no material difference between their tenets and those of the Establishment. I never heard of them much till lately.
