"And, whatever or whomsoever she was, she has managed to keep out of my way." "If you found her, do you suppose she'd change you back into a two-legged boy?" asked Woot. "Perhaps so, if I could run another errand for her and so earn another wish."
I wonder at that; I was very obliging to his vulgar son." "What! he had a son, then?" "Some two-legged creature of that sort, raw and bony, dropped into London, like a ptarmigan, wild, and scared out of his wits. Old Johnstone was in the country, taking care of his wife, who had lost the use of her limbs ever since she had been married; caught a violent husband the first day of wedlock!
A two-legged man is so busy getting about the world that he never has time to sit down and take a look around him. I tell you I see more in one hour as I am now than I saw in all the rest of my life when I was sound and whole. Why, I could sit here all day long and stare up at that blue sky, and then go to bed feeling that my twelve hours were full and brimming over.
In the morning he was astonished to find something warm lying on his chest; carefully lifting up the bed-clothes, he discovered his tormentor of the preceding night quietly and snugly ensconced in a fold in the blanket, and taking advantage of the bodily warmth of his two-legged adversary.
It was either that or the swan-song! "Strike one! " a groan came from Gridley, a cheer from Gardiner. But Dan was not in the least confused. He was ready for the next ball. Biff! It was the pistol shot for Greg, who was off like a two-legged streak, with Dan, ninety feet behind but striving to catch up. The ball came to first only a quarter-second behind Dan's arrival. "Both runners safe!"
How kindly they assist each other; with what natural politeness the men leave the best seats for the women! The boat is very much crowded. There are a great number of those amiable people who are nothing, and have nothing, moving from place to place cheerily. The men on the shore who, with the aid of ropes, are pulling the boat, those two-legged horses, groan from exertion.
However, the approach of another two-legged figure along the beach behind him presently compelled him to retreat down the other side of the dune. Sam appeared trudging through the sand, bare-headed, coatless, tight-lipped. His eyes likewise were fastened eagerly on the dead goose. Reaching it, he stirred it with his foot. Dropping to his knees, he smelled of it. So far so good.
It is hard to realize that other two-legged creatures like myself are habitually awake at this hour.
'As numberless as the sands on the seashore, As numberless as the sands on the shore, Oh, what a sight 'twill be, when the ransomed host we see, As numberless as Well, what do you say? Shall we heave ahead for the place where Uncle Sam's birds are goin' to nest his two-legged birds, I mean?"
The wisest thing Lucky Richard did for his boy was to give him this democratic tutelage. In his secret heart, Young Dick never forgot that he lived in a palace of many servants and that his father was a man of power and honor. On the other hand, Young Dick learned two-legged, two-fisted democracy. He learned it when Mona Sanguinetti spelled him down in class.
