Also ordinary elms, oaks no nastier than ordinary oaks pear-trees, apple-trees, and a vine. 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 should n't guess it was more than a day old, from the way it wiggles its eyes about. I wonder if its mother thinks it's a nice baby? Anyhow, I should think I might have my picture taken first. And that hump-backed boy! Guess I have a right to go in before him! He 's not pretty one bit. What a lovely frock that young lady has on, all fluffy and white, with lace and things!
After the one that can't get over the barn-door sill, I say: 'This little pig said wait, I'll say the last two together so you'll see they rhyme beautifully. Reg'lar poetry. "'This little pig said, "Quee! Quee! Quee! can't get over the barn-door sill." "'This little pig said, "He! He! He! when you tickle, I can't keep still!" "Elly Precious wiggles it when I tickle! We laugh like everything.
The irregularity and uncertainty of the motion excites apprehension, and as the minutes pass by you become more and more firmly convinced that something is wrong with the animal or the saddle or the road, and the way the beast wiggles his ears is very alarming.
She would like to be a nun, she says, if the habits were prettier, and they allowed long curls down the back, and Gainsboroughs above the brow. As it is, Miss Deedy occupies a somewhat abnormal position, dangling, like Mahomet's coffin, between the Church and the world. That, again, is Miss Deedy's peculiarity. Miss Wiggles is a "sensitive."
It was some pill to swallow, but after a few uneasy throat wiggles I got it down. "Unless," says I, "you you'd like to go along too. You wouldn't, would you?" Aunty indulges in one of them tight-lipped smiles of hers that's about as merry as a crack in a vinegar cruet. "How thoughtful of you!" says she. "However, I am not fond of motoring."
Oh, of course, there are a hundred absurd stories about him, they used to say that he lived all alone in a cabin like a savage, and all that sort of thing, and was a friend of a dubious woman in the locality, whom the common people made a heroine of, Miggles, or Wiggles, or some such preposterous name. But look at John there; can you conceive it?"
"I've been trying for five minutes to get my tobacco pouch out of my pocket, and every time I move a finger one of your bold desperadoes wiggles a gun at me, and the other buccaneer draws a bead on my unoffending head with that ferocious pin." Barry stared hard at the fellow, and as he saw the utter change that had come over Leyden, a tiny shiver ran rippling up his spine.
I wiggles around to get a better view, and lets half a dozen loops of yarn slip off at a time. "Stupid!" says Vee, runnin' her tongue out at me. "Didn't I tell you you'd do better by drapin' it over a chair back?" says I. "But say, time out while I snoop into something. Who's the girl with the press notice stuff?" and I points an elbow at the halftone. "That?" says she.
"Not another word, Father," declared Marjorie; "I promise to be as good as pie, custard pie!" "And I'll be as good as mince pie," said King, "you can't beat that!" "Yes, I can," said Kitty; "I shall be as good as lemon meringue pie, with a high, fluffy meringue, and little browny wiggles all over the top."
