For the Baron's gait was somewhat tottery and uncertain, and he even toppled over altogether pretty frequently, but got up upon his feet immediately, after the manner of a jack-in-the-box. So that this toppling over had a considerable resemblance to some rather eccentric dancing step more than to anything else one could compare it to.
I marched right up to Luella, a-holdin' out of that cup, all smokin'. 'Now, says I, 'Luella Miller, 'YOU SWALLER THIS! "'What is what is it, oh, what is it? she sort of screeches out. Then she goes off a-laughin' enough to kill. "'Poor lamb, poor little lamb, says Aunt Abby, standin' over her, all kind of tottery, and tryin' to bathe her head with camphor.
I'm kinder tottery to-day, and no mistake. Coming in, Helen Cameron?" "Not to-night, Aunt Alvirah," replied the girl, starting the car again. "Good-night, all." "And here's my pretty!" crooned Aunt Alvirah, putting up her thin arms to encircle Ruth's neck as the girl came in. "It does seem good to have you home again.
They agreed to this plan, and Jesse, hobbling out to the edge of the lagoon, picked up one of the bidarka's paddles a narrow-bladed, pointed implement such as the Aleuts always use rested the end of the paddle on the bottom on the other side of the bidarka, and, steadying himself by this means, slipped into place in the front hatch of the boat, just as one would step into a tottery birch-bark, although not even the latter can be more ticklish than one of these skin-covered native boats.
Whether it would have been better to have tried to get out none of them stopped to think. They were in a panic. And then came the explosion, but so distant that it caused no more than a mere rumble of the ground, and a faintly-felt concussion of the now tottery building. "Missed us that time," declared Roger. "But they're getting our range." "No, they didn't fire at us," declared Franz.
In the foreground, in the paddock by the barn, was Mab, full of pretty anxieties for the early spring foal that staggered about her on tottery legs. The air shimmered with heat, and altogether it was a lazy, basking day. Quail whistled to their young from the thicketed hillside behind the house.
"He was an Indian, and very old, and he walked with that bent, tottery walk of old age. He had one eye and " "Injun Jim, that was couldn't be anybody else!" Casey knocked his pipe against the front of the little cookstove, emptying the half-burned tobacco into the hearth. The Little Woman probably wondered why he seemed so unexcited, but she did not know all of Casey's traits.
The Captain was a tottery old man, past the age for any fundamental joy. Night had fallen now, and a darkness, musky with autumn weeds, hemmed in the sphere of yellow light on the old piazza. A black-and-white cat materialized out of the gloom, purring, and arching against a pillar. The whole place was filled with a sense of endless leisure.
Come on, Allan!" shouts Field-Marshal Winifred the younger who is leader and commander, to her army whose tottery and chubby youth does not suggest the desperation of a forlorn hope. So the study is carried at the point of the lath, and the banner of the victors a cross of a sort unknown to heraldry, marked on a white ground with a blue pencil is planted on the sacred desk itself.
The rest was lengthy but simple, consisting merely in keeping him quiet and on a suitable diet until there was no fear of the wound opening. We achieved it somehow with the help of an intelligent native woman who, I suppose, was one of his wives, and five days later were enabled to present him healed, though rather tottery, to his affectionate subjects.
