I forgot no one could understand anything in this queer, upside-down town where the streets are water when they ought to be land." To her utter astonishment, however, the boy answered in English, which, although slightly broken, was perfectly intelligible. "My name is Giusippe Cicone." "Say it again," demanded Hannah. "Say it more slowly." "Giusippe Cicone."
He was dressed in tin armour, which seemed to fit him very badly, and he had a queer-shaped little deal box fastened across his shoulder, upside-down, and with the lid hanging open. Alice looked at it with great curiosity. 'I see you're admiring my little box. the Knight said in a friendly tone. 'It's my own invention to keep clothes and sandwiches in.
Butts, who knew her habits to a hair, brought the spectacles once a week and laid the book open at his favourite passages. For aught it mattered, he might have opened it upside-down. "You're pretty punctual," said Miss Sally. "Before your time, if anything." "Yes; the horse bolted, or tried to," Mr. Chichester explained. "Guess whom I've brought with me." "Not Miles Chandon?"
One memorable Sunday she did go to church, as a great treat; and when the hymn "Peace, perfect peace" was given out, a beatific smile illumined her face, and with her hymn-book upside-down she was preparing to sing, when Diana said, whispered rather You don't know this, darling." "Yes, I do, mummy, peace in the valley of Bong." Betty walked to church with me.
"That so, Elmer; what was it?" several asked him in a breath. "Gather around me," the other commanded, "and let's see if you can recognize what I picked up." "Huh! bet you it fell from his pocket when he was dragged upside-down," was the way Lil Artha put it; quick to guess the truth, though he had not himself thought of this possibility before.
These rise considerably above the gunwale, insomuch that when the boat is turned upside-down it rests upon them as upon two pivots.

This is the first motion in self-righting; then the heavy keel comes into play, and pulls the boat quite round.
Williams senior, as a rule, thought things out in his own mind and did not press for explanations. But on the present occasion he asked: "As how?" Fitz smiled very youthfully and winningly. "I've seen some of it," he said, "right side up. Now I want to have a look upside-down. If I go into something of yours as myself I don't get a show. I'm marked.
Ned's tricks, you ought. And you ought to make him marry the girl, and be off to New Zealand, or any of the upside-down places, where he might begin by farming, and soon, with his abilities, be cock o' the walk. He would, perhaps, be sending us a letter to say that he preferred to break away from the mother country and establish a republic. He's got the same political opinions as you.
Like lightning his right wing came round with a terrific flail-stroke, and hit Pig Head in the face at the precise instant that the surgical instrument he carried as his beak sank deep into one of Pig Head's calves. The Chieftain was upside-down at the moment, and his legs were tied together, but that made no difference to the savagery of the blow.
Neither are the pig-skins, in common use to hold wine, and hung out in the sun in all directions, by any means ornamental, as they always preserve the form of very bloated pigs, with their heads and legs cut off, dangling upside-down by their own tails.
