No silver birches, though. However, I must get on to my host and hostess. I only wanted to show that it isn't the least what we expected. Why did we settle that their house would be all gables and wiggles, and their garden all gamboge-coloured paths? I believe simply because we associate them with expensive hotels Mrs. Wilcox trailing in beautiful dresses down long corridors, Mr.
“Now this is how the painter monkey does it,” said Brighteyes. “He takes a brush, and he dips it in the paint pot, and then he lets some of the loose paint fall off, and then he wiggles the brush up and down and sideways and across the middle on the boards of the house, and—it’s painted.”
He swallowed the water regardless of the “wiggles” whose presence was plainly visible. “What does he say?” asked Morico scanning Thérèse’s face appealingly. “He only says that work at the mill keeps him a good deal occupied,” she said with attempted carelessness.
That knocking came so plainly and from so near now that I at once said "Yes; I must get through." "Bravo you, sir. That's your sort. Take it coolly. Where the head 'll go, the rest on you'll follow if you wiggles yerself well. Don't you get scared, sir. I'll pull you back if you get stuck." "But it's horribly hot here, Barney," I whispered. "Yes, sir; but I s'pose we mustn't mind that.
If the paste is fresh he eats it, and wiggles his polonaise as much as to thank us, and goes away refreshed. If the paste is sour, and smells bad, he looks at us with a mournful expression, and goes away looking as though it was a mighty mean trick to play on a cockroach, and he runs about as though he was offended.
So she looked first on one side of the woodland path, and then on the other, and Brighteyes did the same, but they couldn't seem to find anything out of which to make a doll. Then, all at once, oh, I guess in about two wiggles and a wag, if Sallie didn't see a nice, long, smooth, yellow carrot. "That will make a fine doll!" she cried.
The girl unconsciously puts her hand to her brow "What's the matter with your head, dearie; got a headache?" A lad feels a trifle uncomfortable in his clean shirt and wiggles about "I'm sure Tom's coming down with fever, he's so restless and he looks so flushed!" God forbid that I should ever appear to caricature the wise care of a devoted mother. That is not what I aim to do.
"I say that there is an alligator caught in the rack," said Leon, and sticking the handle of the net into the water again he continued: "Do you hear that sound? That is not sand, it is hard skin, the back of the alligator. Do you see how he wiggles the bamboo pickets in the rack? He is struggling hard but he cannot do anything. Wait.
"The crowd in your office would give you a banquet if you sold something," Merkle told him. Wharton, Senior, pressed for further information. "Where did you learn those Argentine wiggles?" "Hard times are to blame, dad. The old men on the Exchange play golf all day, and the young ones turkey-trot all night. I stay up late in the hope that I may find a quarter that some suburbanite has dropped.
Bates went on, "she's a little, plump, dark woman, and when she sits down she wiggles and flounces and goes all in a heap like this." Mrs. Bates illustrated by means of the window-seat on the landing. "Yes," assented Jane. She could not reproach Mrs. Bates for thus indulging her sense of humor in order to recoup herself for the tax on her memory. "And when she goes down-stairs, it's like this."
