Carnival of the Animals list

Carnival of the Animals list I know I never racked my brains with a greater vim in the whole course "That's all. Jest Walter Watland.","I understand," said the Admiral. "This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?","Did you see the pig," she says, "sitting up by the fireplace? All through I couldn't take my eyes off him. He struck me as so comical. There he sat blinking his small eyes and trying to look sympathetic. I am convinced he knew all about it. I never saw so solemn a pig.","He's tryin' to coax me away from his treasure," Billy answered. "Now, jest watch him.","Fell out o' a tree," he managed to say. "Struck my head on a limb."，"He has been married a whole fortnight and never deigned to tell his own mother of it until now," says Lady Rodney, hysterically.，“Why, some were half-rotten or all rotten, and a good many were bruised”—，"This young person, though evidently of an investigating turn of mind, has not quite fathomed the nature of the reigning beauty of our little coterie. Being of a candid and affable nature herself, she fails to comprehend how the fangs of the green-eyed monster, once fastened in the tender heart of said beauty, make the said beauty so mortally uncomfy that she's bound to take it out on somebody—and who so natural or convenient as the critter who sicked the serpent on her."She took the child in her comforting arms. “Don’t cry, little one! We shall find her, never fear.”

"After!" replied Isabella, with some hesitation; then abruptly left the major's side to exchange a few words with Dido. Jen, as was natural, looked after her with a glance full of doubt and suspicion. Notwithstanding her love for Maurice and her expressed desire to avenge his death by hunting down the assassin, she appeared to be anything but frank in the matter. In plain words, her conduct suggested to Jen's mind an idea that she knew more than she cared to talk about; and that such half-hinted knowledge implicated her mother. In which case--but here Dido interrupted Jen's meditations.,"You—will—say——" Here he breaks down ignominiously, and confesses by his inability to proceed that he doesn't in the least know what it is she can say.,"You bet," Maurice managed to answer.,Maurice grumblingly did his share of the driving. It was no easy task to pilot that big, rangy sow into the safe harbor of the Keeler barnyard but done it was at last.,"Yep," Billy admitted, slowly, "that's it. He's all right in lots of ways, but in other ways——","Mrs. Rodney would perhaps prefer to dance, mother," he says, with some irritation.,"Because 'the miserable hath no other medicine but only hope,'" quotes she, very sadly.,Two o'clock! The song dies away, and Mona's brow contracts. So late!—the day is slipping from her, and as yet no word, no sign.,The boy went into the street again, mounted[208] and rode rapidly round the corner. His own home was across the way; his mother might see him at the office and call him. But once out of sight he stopped to consider what came next. Who was the right man to tell after the Doctor? The Sheriff!,“And what’s the ‘chinning’ to be about?” she questioned, sitting on the bedside; “the fortune?”,"You are indeed," he says, in a tone so grateful that it ought to have betrayed to her his meaning. But grief and disappointment have seized upon her.,In the meantime I feel that it will be good for his judgeship for me to let him "draw" me at least a little way. I may get hurt, but I shall at least have only myself to thank for it. When we reached home, the judge stopped under the old lilac bush that leans over my side-gate and kissed my hand. Old Lilac shook a laugh of perfume all over us, and I believe signalled the event with the top of his bough to the white clump on the other side of the garden. I'm glad Aunt Adeline isn't in the flower fraternity. Suppose she had seen or heard!.
