"They" was all that should be attacked and fought with, all that bites, claws, scalps, whoops, and yells the Sioux Indians dancing around the war-stake to which the unfortunate pale-face prisoner is lashed. The grizzly of the Rocky Mountains, who wobbles on his hind legs, and licks himself with a tongue full of blood.
Well, I think something of the kind is going on with Venus. The earth may be compared to a top that is whirling fast, and Venus to one that has slowed down. She is less able than the earth to resist the disturbing attraction of the sun on the inequalities of her figure, and therefore she wobbles.
Maddledock's sister, and Miss Annie Throcton had arrived and were just coming downstairs from the dressing-room. Mr. Linden was in the parlor with Miss Maddledock, both looking as if all they asked was to be let alone. Mr. Maddledock was in the library walking up and down in a way that Wobbles could but look upon as ominous.
Again, and for the fifth time in two minutes, Wobbles made a careful calculation upon his fingers, but to save his unhappy soul he could not bring five persons to tally with six chairs. And in the mean while, Mr. Maddledock's step in the library grew sharper in its sound and quicker in its motion. There was nothing vulgar about Mr. Maddledock.
Wobbles was just on the point of acting upon this advice when the library call rang, and he hurried to respond. "You said this note was left here by a tall man, didn't you, Wobbles?" said Mr. Maddledock. "Yezzur," said Wobbles. "And he said he would call for an answer?" "Yezzur, at seven be the clock, zur." "But it's past seven, Wobbles?" "Yezzur, most 'arf an howr, most 'arf."
In analyzing that statement since, with a view to classifying it as truth or otherwise, I have studied my recollections of ducks, and I have come to the conclusion that in a rough sea a duck has every right to be seasick, for she wobbles like everything else that floats. For real comfort, give me something that's anchored. Nevertheless, I was persuaded to join the party.
'I suppose, said Felix quaintly, 'the world would rather miss its axis, and yet that does not move. 'Yes, it does, said Cherry, 'it wobbles. I suppose Wilmet says rotates, just about as much as I am going to do now I have got back into my own dear sphere again. 'Devouring flames resistless glow, And blazing rafters downward go, And never halloo, "Heads below!"
"What's the matter?" asked the schoolmistress, shouting so as to be heard above the flapping of the buggy curtains. "Why do you watch that wheel?" "'Fraid of the axle," whooped Mr. Bangs in reply. "Nut's kind of loose, for one thing, and the way the wheel wobbles I'm scart she'll come off. Call this a road!" he snorted indignantly. "More like a plowed field a consider'ble sight.
The boys, always ready enough when there was game to be seen, secured their rifles and took their stand at the front rail of the cabin-deck, ready for anything which might appear. "I don't see how you can shoot off this boat," said Jesse, trying to sight his rifle. "It wobbles all the time when the engine goes." Alex gave him a little advice.
Only just in time, though," he went on, "for, look! she's drowning; her head wobbles as though she were sea-sick. Buck up, pussie, buck up! You mustn't cheat the hounds at last, you know. It wouldn't be sportsmanlike, and they hate dead hares." Then he held me by my hind legs to drain the water out of me, and afterwards began to blow down my nose, I did not know why.
