"Here are some of them," answered the priest, his forefinger pointing to Kitty and John. "We could all of us do without churches and priests," ventured Felix, his eyes kindling, "if your parishioners were as good as these dear people." "Well, there's Bobby," laughed the priest, his face turned toward the boy, who was sound asleep in his chair, Toodles, the door-mat of a dog, sprawled at his feet.
ZOO. What a ridiculously long name! I cant call you all that. What did your mother call you? THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. You recall the bitterest struggles of my childhood. I was sensitive on the point. Children suffer greatly from absurd nicknames. My mother thoughtlessly called me Iddy Toodles.
Sir Ethelred shifted one hand under his coat tails, and tilting back his head, looked at him steadily. “We’ll have a late sitting to-night,” he said. “Come to the House with your discoveries if we are not gone home. I’ll warn Toodles to look out for you. He’ll take you into my room.”
I'll be there later on, ye can tell the captain. Mr. Codman, please send over one of your boys to mind my place. John ain't turned up and won't for an hour. That trunk went to Astoria instead of the Astor House, bad 'cess to it, and that's about as far apart as it could git. And, Mike, don't stand there with yer tongue out! And don't let Toodles go with ye.
Sometimes they were in league with the managers, and a girl who held back would find her chances imperilled; sometimes these men would even finance shows to give a chance to some favourite. Afterward Toodles turned to listen to Oliver and his companion; and Montague sat back and gazed about the room.
Little Florence herself was not behind-hand in improving the occasion; for, being conducted forth by the young Toodles to inspect some toad-stools and other curiosities of the Gardens, she entered with them, heart and soul, on the formation of a temporary breakwater across a small green pool that had collected in a corner.
The Assistant Commissioner shook it, and withdrew. In the outer room Toodles, who had been waiting perched on the edge of a table, advanced to meet him, subduing his natural buoyancy. “Well? Satisfactory?” he asked, with airy importance. “Perfectly.
You take him up-stairs and show him what we got, and down into the kitchen and the sitting-room and out into the yard. Come, now; hurry! Go 'long with him, Mr. O'Day, and come back to me when ye are through and tell me what you think of it all. And, John, take Toodles with you and lock him up. First thing I know I'll be tramplin' on him. Get out, you varmint!"
You saw what he was like last night. If I'd left him to himself this morning he'd have drunk himself into a fit. When a sober a fantastically sober man does that " "What does it mean?" "It generally means that he's in a pretty bad way. And," added Dick pensively, "they call poor Toodles a dangerous woman." All night the yacht lay in Scarby harbour. It was nine o'clock on Sunday evening.
“I have seen him!” said Toodles incredulously. “I can’t conceive where I could have seen him.” “At the Explorers, I should say,” dropped the Assistant Commissioner calmly. At the name of that extremely exclusive club Toodles looked scared, and stopped short. “Nonsense,” he protested, but in an awe-struck tone. “What do you mean? A member?”
