And now they rolled over, and Toddles was underneath; and then they rolled over again; and then a hand locked on Toddles' collar, and he was yanked, terrier-fashion, to his feet. His face white and determined, his fists doubled, Toddles waited for Hawkeye to get up the word "run" wasn't in Toddles' vocabulary. He hadn't long to wait. Hawkeye lunged up, draped in the broken crate a sight.
And with the clouts, the stack of carefully balanced periodicals went flying over the floor; and with the clouts, the nagging, and the hectoring, and the bullying, that had rankled for close on two years in Toddles' turbulent soul, rose in a sudden all-possessing sweep of fury. Toddles was a fighter with the heart of a fighter. And Toddles' cause was just.
It seemed to me the box was regular sticking out and showing, like your legs do under the sheets in bed, and I went and put all the earth I'd got out of my 'ole for the rockery slap on top of it. I WAS in a sweat. And in the midst of it all out toddles 'er father.
Women hurry to put on their best bonnets; the sexton toddles up with the church key in his hand, and the ringers at his heels; the Coastguard Lieutenant bustles down to the Manby's mortar, which he has hauled out in readiness on the pebbles. Old Willis hoists a flag before his house, and half-a-dozen merchant skippers do the same.

Lying placidly in the rack with an air of well-merited ease born of the consciousness that they had, without any effort of their own, avoided a fatiguing duty, were three large bombs. "Er ah hum," said Toddles.
Came a rumble now a distant roar, growing louder and louder, reverberating down the cañon walls louder and louder nearer and nearer. "Hold second Number Two. Hold second Number Two" the "seventeen," the life and death, pleading with him to hold Number Two. And she was coming now, coming and and the switch was locked. The deadly nausea racked Toddles again; there was nothing to do now nothing.
Certainly the big fellows never knew he had any name but Toddles and cared less. But they knew him as Toddles, all right! All of them did, every last one of them! Toddles was everlastingly and eternally bothering them for a job.
No one belittles the importance of success. Everyone is guided to a large extent by the desire to succeed. When a child toddles off to school the training which he secures there is given for the single purpose of bringing success, but this goal cannot possibly be reached without throbbing vitality. In fact, you are not yourself in every sense unless you possess vitality of this sort.
