MRS. T. "How came she among you, Sir?" DR. J. "Why, I don't rightly remember, but we could spare her very well from us. Poll is a stupid slut. I had some hopes of her at first; but when I talked to her tightly and closely, I could make nothing of her; she was wiggle waggle, and I could never persuade her to be categorical." Mme. D'Arblay's Diary, i. 114.
"November first, hereabouts, I believe." "The postmark on the envelope that carried this advertisement to our friend advises the use of the baits for 'these next two months. Queer time to be using bass-lures, after the season is closed. Bert, it's a pity I can't waggle my ears." "Waggle your ears! For heaven's sake, why?"
"Musicians are very rare in the country about here," she began again, then stammered, and cast down her eyes. "You might earn a deal of money here. My father plays the fiddle a little, and likes to hear about foreign countries and my father is very rich." Then she laughed, and said, "If you only would not waggle your head so, when you play."
Beth looked round the room, perplexed, then fixed her eyes on his beard, and watched it waggle with interest. "Ask her if she knows anything about the other gentleman," Captain Keene put in jocosely "here's to his health!" and he emptied his glass. Beth's great eyes settled upon him with sudden fixity. "I suppose you never heard of the devil?" he proceeded.
When the Miss Dixons went haughtily by with a scornful waggle, when the Miss Gervases passed in the wagonette laughing as the mud splashed him, the poor fellow would look up with a facie of grief that must have been very comic; "like a dying duck," as Edith Gervase said. Edith was really very pretty, and he would have liked to talk to her, even about fox-terriers, if she would have listened.
Accordingly, when, lying awake at about half past five on the morning of April 18 in my little "flat" on the campus of Stanford, I felt the bed begin to waggle, my first consciousness was one of gleeful recognition of the nature of the movement. And then, as it went crescendo. "And a jolly good one it is, too!" I said.
She held up her finger and shook it playfully. The bald head appeared again, followed immediately by a very round body. The playful finger continued to waggle. "Ducksie dear!" said Mr. Martin, and he clasped Mrs. Howland in his arms. Maggie gave a smothered groan. "It's the child," said Mrs. Howland in a whisper. "She is a bit upset; but when she knows you, James, she'll love you as much as I do."
Don't let him pass! Waggle your parasol, Clementina! Cough! Sneeze! Do something to make him see us! `Don't you remember me, Lord Algernon? How quite too naughty of you! Mrs Ponsonby de Tomkins, whose purse you picked up in the railway station in Lausanne.
The English they micht manage, but when I talk a wee bit o' Scots talk, it's ayant them altogether. But they'll laugh they'll laugh at the way I walk, I suppose, and at the waggle o' ma kilts. And they'll applaud and ask for mair. I think there's usually a leaven o' Scots in sic a audience; just Scots enough so I'll ha' a friend or twa before I start. And after that a's weel.
Yozhov became thoughtful, not ceasing to turn his whole body and to waggle his head. In thoughtfulness his face became motionless, all its wrinkles gathered near his eyes and seemed to surround them with rays, and because of this his eyes receded deeper under his forehead. "Yes, my dear, I have seen a thing or two, and I know a great deal," he began, with a shake of the head.
