Tiring of this distraction, he was always at liberty to twiddle his thumbs, twirl his pencil, yawn, blink, and look out of the window at the City Park across the way, where excited citizens maintained a steady yelling monotone before the neighbouring newspaper offices all day long.
"They gave it me here, Baas," he answered. "The Baas will remember that the devil Jana ate the other." Then I did remember more or less, while Hans continued to twiddle the hat.

Another proof of Leroy's theory that Martian life is neither animal nor vegetable. Besides, Tweel was a good enough host to let him poke down his beak and twiddle his feathers, and the examination convinced Leroy." "Oui," confirmed the biologist. "It is true."
