Let's ask Pete and Dickie to go with us." Stealing quietly away while Scamper and Uncle Squeaky were busy, they managed to start off without being seen. "Come on for a joy ride, Pete, and fetch Dickie," invited Wiggle. The Grasshopper brothers hopped briskly in and away they whizzed.
Did you think you'd hurt the little ant, Trouble?" "I satted on him, but I didn't hurt him," answered the little boy. "He can wiggle along nice see!" and he showed the ant, crawling about on the piece of wood. Perhaps the little ant wondered how in the world it was ever going to get back to the ground again. "Put him down and come on," said Ted.
But the Tropics supply sundry and divers discomforts as well, and really offer too much; for with the flowers, vines, fruits and never-ending foliage go mosquitoes, tarantulas, and snakes that wiggle and sometimes bite. The climate of Cumberland does not overpower one the air is of a quality that urges you on to think and do.
"No, I won't. I won't let you wiggle out of writing your stories, Edna, if I print all the papers. Come, girls, I'm nearly dead with sitting still so long," added Cricket, springing up. "Let's go to ride." "No, I thank you. This is all I want to do, this hot day," answered Edna, stretching herself out on the sand, with her head in Eunice's lap. "Oh, lazybones!
All is so earnestly done I dare not laugh or wiggle with impatience. I may sail into dinner with the upper hook in the lower eye and the middle all askew, but the service is so graciously given, I would rather have my dress upside down than to grumble. Certainly I pay for it. I tip everything from the proprietor to the water-pitcher.
"I threw mine away after the hired man set the barn afire with a spark from his pipe. I'll try to find a hornet's nest and maybe I can borrow a pipe from Daddy Longlegs. Now take these pills and start young Skunk to trotting. Good-day to you, Simon. I hope you'll feel better soon. "I'll have the kiddies hunt for a hornet's nest," planned Grand-daddy. Buster, Wink, and Wiggle met him by the pond.
"Sometimes, Mr. Bryce." "How's my father?" "Splendid. I've taken good care of him for you." "Moira, you're a sweetheart of a girl. I don't know how we ever managed to wiggle along without you." Fraternally almost paternally he gave her radiant cheek three light little pats as he strode past her to the private office.
Ham was under the impression that the donkeys would fall dead when they saw the "pile of junk," and that every single fellow in the crowd would have to "wiggle his ears, bray once or twice, and get busy," if the cabin ever became the possessor of the new equipment. Twenty fellows besides the "Chief" and Mr. Dean were on hand at the appointed time.
Suppose you slept in rough blankets, on the ground or in bunks, ate rough food, never saw a woman or a book, undertook work to scare your city men up a tree and into a hole too easy, risked your life a dozen times a week in a tangle of logs, with the big river roaring behind just waiting to swallow you; saw nothing but woods and river, were cold and hungry and wet, and so tired you couldn't wiggle, until you got to feeling like the thing was never going to end, and until you got sick of it way through in spite of the excitement and danger.
With this in view he put on a long rain coat that hung in the conning tower, and then, like a snake, commenced to wiggle his way toward the middle of the platform where the white object still stood. Nearer and nearer to it Jack came. His heart was beating fast and he was much frightened, but he nerved himself to continue.
