Although it was broad daylight, the low, stuffy room would have been pitch dark had it not been for the flickering candles on the table beside the bent, grey head of the mumbling fortune-teller, whose bony fingers twitched over and about the crystal globe like wiggling serpents' tails. The window gave little or no light and the door was closed, the grinning grandson leaning against it limply.
"If you don't put that gun up," he said, "I'll take it away and rap you over the knuckles with it." "If you don't turn the boat around, I'll shoot you," Sprague threatened. Then Shorty took a hand. He ceased chopping ice and stood up behind Sprague. "Go on an' shoot," said Shorty, wiggling the hatchet. "I'm just aching for a chance to brain you. Go on an' start the festivities."
Here is an extract from the paper's account of the speech: "Evidence that early men climbed trees with their feet lies in the way we wear the heels of our shoes more at the outside. A baby can wiggle its big toe without wiggling its other toes an indication that it once used its big toe in climbing trees."
The Chinese candle maker, who provided the Captain whenever he went on a pilgrimage to Antipolo, was saying as he sat fanning himself and wiggling his foot: "What for you b'long foolish?

"Oh, he'll get us, sure!" wailed Floppy. "Run faster!" urged Curly.
Right up to the top of the column it went, and this time the water rose a thousand feet into the air. Up and up went the animal, struggling to get away from the remorseless grip. Then, when the water had reached its height, it shot the beast off to one side. Then the brute began to fall, twisting, turning, wiggling and struggling.
"He's wiggling all of 'em!" accused the Kid sternly, and pointed to the Old Man drumming irritatedly upon his chair arms. "He don't want to help the boys, but I do. I'll help 'em get their cattle, Mr. Blake. I'm one of the bunch anyway. I'll lend 'em my string." "You've been told before not to butt in to grownup talk," his uncle reproved him irascibly. "Now you cut it out.
They all looked again and this time they saw funny little creatures wiggling and swimming about. Pinkie Whiskers asked: "What are they and where are they going?" Mother Gray and Father Gray looked and they also were surprised, for they had never seen or heard of anything like them. Billy Jay was thoroughly enjoying himself, for it is always fun to show something strange to your friends.
"Scramble, you," he roared, waving the carpet beater dangerously near Frederick's head, and down beside his strapping friend dropped the dignified Frederick two more long legs, and two more heavy arms were wiggling over the floor. "Those eggs are burning, give them some grease," suggested a senior from his seat near the wall.
