"I really think we ought to have kept him, if only for Teddy's sake, he was so fond of him, and perhaps baby's love would have done for him what we failed to do." "I've sometimes felt that myself; but after keeping the boys in a ferment, and nearly burning up the whole family, I thought it safer to remove the firebrand, for a time at least," said Mr. Bhaer.
Zungo is her oldest boy, you know, and ever since he was born she has been called nothing but Ma-Zungo, just as if, when a lady comes into your school, the teacher should say: "This is Joe's mother," or "This is Teddy's mamma," so that the children should all know her.
They were strolling along, peacefully enough, when suddenly his mother took his small arm and guided him into the station where they had arrived in Monroe nearly two years before. A big train came thundering to a stop now as then, and Teddy's mother said to him quickly and urgently: "Climb in, Love. That's my boy! Get in, dear; mother'll explain to you later!"
Teddy's eyes were fixed on his father, and all his father could do was to whisper, "Sit still, Teddy. You mustn't move. Teddy, keep still." Then Rikki-tikki came up and cried, "Turn round, Nagaina. Turn and fight!" "All in good time," said she, without moving her eyes. "I will settle my account with you presently. Look at your friends, Rikki-tikki. They are still and white. They are afraid.
Besides, she might not have felt at liberty to address him direct. He looked up with a tender expression and met his friend's eye good honest eyes that were bound to betray a secret such as Teddy's.... It struck Alan then that his return to home life might have consequences more momentous than he had dreamed of.
A man who could "call down" his crew properly was a real car manager. While the Sparling Show profited by Teddy's ruse, Phil felt unhappy that his advantage had come by reason of the falsehood that Teddy had told; and that night Phil read his young friend a severe lecture. "If I find you doing a trick like that again," concluded Phil, "you close there and then."
Easterton asked. "Did he? By heaven, the poor chap he tackled was carried out unconscious at the end of the second round Jack's bet was with Teddy Forsyth, and he pocketed a couple of ponies then and there." "Did he really? Capital! And Teddy's such a mean chap; he didn't like partin', did he?" "Like it? He went about for the rest of the night with a face like a funeral mute's." "Capital!"
And now the sound rang loud and clear in Teddy's ears; it was the beating of hammers upon anvils. When Teddy looked about him he was standing on a road that ran along the side of a mountain. All along this road were openings that looked like the mouths of caverns, and from these openings poured the ceaseless sound of beating, and a ruddy glow that reddened all the air and sky.
She made me learn this morning "Blessed are the peacemakers!" but you must have an enemy to make peace with, and I haven't got one. There was silence; the uncle puffed away at his pipe; he was a good man, and had more brains than his appearance warranted, but Teddy's speeches were often a sore puzzle to him.
The gopher had dived down back into his hole as soon as he saw Teddy's first move. "Oh, he got away!" said Janet sorrowfully. "Ill get him next time," declared Teddy. But he did not. Three or four times more the little animal put his small head and bright eyes out of the top of the hole, and each time Teddy made a grab for him; but the gopher was too quick.
