Come on, I show!" and, getting down out of his chair, he toddled toward a little cove near the camp. The others, following him, saw something white on the ground near the edge of the lake. Grandpa Martin touched it with his finger and tasted. "The little tyke did empty the whole bag of salt in the lake!" cried the farmer. "Fancy his trying to make it like the ocean! Ho! Ho!"
Whereat all his little brothers set off after him in full cry, and saw Tom; and then all ran back, and up jumped Mrs. Vixen, and caught one up in her mouth, and the rest toddled after her, and into a dark crack in the rocks; and there was an end of the show.
And then the rest of the party trickled in, and we toddled down to dinner. Conditions being as they were at Brinkley Court I mean to say, the place being loaded down above the Plimsoll mark with aching hearts and standing room only as regarded tortured souls I hadn't expected the evening meal to be particularly effervescent. Nor was it. Silent. Sombre.
She went to dances, but though sometimes she toddled a bit, mostly she sat out or tucked in. During her three years as a waitress several customers looked at her with interest though without much principle.

They were kind o' leg weary an' excited, but they hadn't been hurt yit. Another day er two would 'a' fixed 'em.

The engines won't stand it, sir; and it's my duty to tell you so, sir."
