The generosity of one of our volunteers, Mr. Francis Sayre, the son-in-law of President Wilson, doubled its capacity. But buildings that are made of green wood, and grow like Topsy, are apt to end like Topsy turvy. Now we are straining every nerve to obtain a suitable accommodation for the children.
Texts of Scripture were adduced to refute his theory of the spherical shape of the earth, and the weighty authority of the Fathers of the Church was added to overthrow the "foolish idea of the existence of antipodes; of people who walk, opposite to us, with their heels upwards and their heads hanging down; where everything is topsy turvy, where the trees grow with their branches downwards, and where it rains, hails, and snows upwards."
When removed from her own dwelling, which is turned topsy- turvy by my trowel, and placed in possession of the den produced by my art, the Lycosa at once disappears into that den. She does not come out again, seeks nothing better elsewhere. A large wire-gauze cover rests on the soil in the pan and prevents escape. In any case, the watch, in this respect, makes no demands upon my diligence.

Even the Duchess makes as if he were one of her highest guests he a poor Oxford scholar, doubting if he can get his bread by the law, and flouted as though he were not good enough for my daughter. 'Tis the world topsy turvy, sure enough!
I'll tell you all about her when I see you. Really, I roar with laughter every time I look at her! I haven't got time to say more. With this Eliza person in the kitchen goodness knows what may happen. We had to send a note to Mr. Blair not to come for luncheon, the house was so upset. Everything seems quite topsy turvy. And Mr.
The American shouted at him: "Come back! Don't touch that towing line! Let things alone!" "Yes, but this'll drag us to the bottom!" chattered one of the men forward. "We'll get in the dinghy when the ship goes down!" "We might row to the dock from here!" The men stood in a string along the rail, below them in the hissing water the dinghy tossing topsy turvy.
