The few teams they saw moved at a breakneck pace backward! In spite of the suddenly topsyturvy state of affairs there seemed to be no accidents. Arthur put his hands to his head. "Miss Woodward," he said pathetically, "I'm afraid I've gone crazy. Do you see the same things I do?" Estelle nodded. Her eyes wide open. "What is the matter?" she asked helplessly. She turned again to the window.
Unlike any mountain lake he had ever seen, it was not blue. Instead, its intense peacock-green tokened its shallowness. It was this shallowness that made its draining feasible. All about arose jumbled mountains, with ice-scarred peaks and crags, grotesquely shaped and grouped. All was topsyturvy and unsystematic a Dore nightmare.
She said the world was being turned topsyturvy by people who were allowed to misbehave to their betters, and who needed to be taught a lesson and their proper place; and that so long as she retained her faculties, she would do her duty in that respect, please God!
It is all the way I am telling you: the word is turned topsyturvy. In olden times a married woman would not dare uncover her hair even in the presence of her husband; it was also thought dangerous even for a man to go out bareheaded in winter time; and nobody ever caught a cold in midsummer.
The other two men had vanished, and there was nobody to hear Uncle Moses' tender, troubled answer: "Why, you poor little shaver, lie still. I don't know what's happened ye, nor what sort of scrape you've been in. You an' that t'other one, who's come to turn things topsyturvy.

But owing to our economic system, every economy in methods of production enables employers to dismiss some of their employees, and to cause destitution, where a better system would produce only an increase of wages or a diminution in the hours of work without any corresponding diminution of wages. Our economic system is topsyturvy.
It was bad enough that she should see him as a sparring partner of a professional pug, but it made it infinitely worse that she should see him as what he must appear, an unsuccessful third or fourth rate fighter. Everything within Jimmy's mind turned suddenly topsyturvy.
'By George! he thought, hardening as the tug came: 'It's a topsyturvy affair! The maid came back. Would the gentleman state his business, please? "Say it concerns Mr. Jon," said Soames. And once more he was alone in that hall with the pool of grey-white marble designed by her first lover. Ah! she had been a bad lot had loved two men, and not himself!
If she turned turtle, what would become of me? The air in the cabin was already foul. If she turned topsyturvy, and providing she was not cast upon the rocks and smashed, I would be in difficulty for fresh air in a very few hours. These possibilities and many others passed through my mind in seconds of time. I had no idea that one's brain could work so rapidly.
Even in Spain, where each department has its own minister, born and reared in the locality, where there are a press and a public opinion, where the opposition frankly opens the eyes of the government and keeps it informed, everything moves along imperfectly and defectively; thus it is a miracle that here things are not completely topsyturvy in the lack of these safeguards, and having to live and work under the shadow of a most powerful opposition.
