They could not resist the lively wiggle of the worm before their very noses, and we lifted them out one after an other, gently, and very much as if we were hooking them out of a barrel, until we had a handsome string. It may have been fun for them but it was not much sport for us. All the small ones the young McGregor contemptuously threw back into the water.
Limpy-toes was generous with his automobile. He was busy, for Grand-daddy's practice was growing larger, and as Limpy-toes was studying medicine, he often went along with Grand-daddy. But he found time to give the little mice many jolly rides along the pine-strewn paths and lanes. Sometimes he allowed Wink or Wiggle to steer and they felt very proud indeed.
All she need do was close her right eye and wiggle her left toe and then draw a long breath and make her wish. Yesterday she had wished in secret for a box of caramels, and instantly found the box beside her.
As nearly as I can express it, she seemed to "wiggle" a little, although that isn't the word. She seemed to hang out a sign "Oh, look look at me!" and that doesn't quite describe it, either.
"Here comes the torchlight parade. Get a wiggle on. Looks like they was goin' to set the woods on fire!" All three sprang to their feet in consternation. For the time being they had forgotten all about the McIvor gang. Kendrick joined McCorquodale on the run.
There he and his fellows labored day after day learning every secret of every item of armament and equipment aboard the heptagon. "Did you finish up today, Norm?" asked Stevens one evening.

I'll be that stiff termorrer I can't wiggle." "You're wigglin' all right now," observed Trot. "That's a fine tail you've got, Cap'n, an' its green scales is jus' beautiful."
Springer, knowing Dingley, Barville's leading batter, who was again up, was dangerous, tried two wide ones to start with; but the fellow did not even wiggle his bat at them. "Get into it!" called Rackliff suddenly, as Phil swung into his delivery for the third ball.
A man came to the door in his under-rigging. "Hi, there! What's eating you?" he yells. "Injuns coming, pardner! The country's just oozing Injuns! Better get a wiggle on you!" "All right slide along, I'll ketch up to you," says he. I looked back and saw him hustling out with his saddle on his arm. "He's a particular kind of cuss," I thought; "bareback would suit most people."
If you can skin, that puppy, why, sic 'em, Towse! and the devil take the hindmost! Oh, you Smart Alecks!" He backed out with a traditional wiggle of his fingers. It is to be regretted that the stringent regulations of the postal authorities will not permit us any report of the heart-to-heart talk that followed his departure, other than the baldest summary.
