Lord! to hear him say how sorry he was, and to see how glad he looked at the chance of serving us! 'Serving us! Tom sneered. 'Ha! went Andrew. 'Yes. There. You're a deuced deal prouder than fifty peers. You're an upside-down old despot!
They all addressed the parrot by name but he only glared at them with his beady eyes and kept silent. "Maybe he's dumb," said Andy. "Maybe he's too young to know how to talk," said Cathy. "He's not that young," said Jerry. They were eating dessert pineapple upside-down cake when the parrot beat his wings and said in a strong, hoarse voice, "Caramba!" "What does that mean?" Jerry asked his father.
However, they could not have lived more than half a minute, had not the Giant, with admirable presence of mind and surprising quickness, given the brazier such a tremendous kick with one of his heavy boots, that he sent it more than a mile and a half, into the midst of a distant herd of Yabouks, which were all instantly suffocated by the dense cloud of poisonous smoke which covered them, as the brazier fell, upside-down, right over the leader of the herd, who, giving one great bellow, instantly crisped up into nothing.
A startled bat left its upside-down perch and fluttered against his face, clicking its teeth in warning. Well, one could stay here and think until doomsday. So, with a shrug of his big shoulders, he got a firm grip on his doubled rope and slid over the edge. He went down and down until his shoulders ached.
We have, therefore, only to place in position a second cheval-glass, arranged at the proper inclination, to obtain a reproduction of the original image, although, of course, it will appear to us as upside-down. I have only to add that the day you escorted madame to Police Headquarters I took the opportunity to fasten a small mirror on the ceiling, trusting that it would not be noticed.
Immediately everything became as black as ink, people shrieked, the enchanted castle rolled like a ship at sea, and leaning far to one side, began to turn upside-down. Peter felt the floor of the balcony tip beneath him; he tried to catch hold of something, but could find nothing; suddenly, with a scream, he fell. He was falling, falling, falling, falling, falling.
His first feat was to hang upside-down in a chair supported by a beam in one of the sheds, so that he would gradually become accustomed to the novel position. For a time this was not at all easy. Have you ever tried to stand on your hands with your feet upwards for any length of time? To realize the difficulty of being head downwards, just do this, and get someone to hold your legs.
The only Mantis that I was able to observe at the moment of laying her eggs worked upside-down, clinging to the wire near the top of the cover. My presence, my magnifying-glass, my investigations did not disturb her in the least, so absorbed was she in her labours.
"I'm doing it from left to right, which is the way one usually writes," said Ken, in a superior tone. "You're looking at it upside-down. You're twisted." "The holes," said Felicia, mildly, "in order to become readable humps on the other side, have to be punched right to left." "Oh!" said Ken.
"Now, how that woman could make a cake like this here in one of them narrer, upside-down Mexican ovens no stove at all no nothing say, that's some like adoptin' yourself to circumstances, ain't it? Why, man, I'd marry intoe that fam'ly if I didn't do nothing else long as I lived. They ain't no Mexican money wrong side of the river.
