· Something about TinyAss:
And there being, in our watch, but three of us who lived forward, we generally had a dry berth apiece in bad TinyAss He was a foreigner, and violently tempered, and under suffering; and he had his knife with him, and the captain was to come down alone to the boat. Then I had no right to kick 'm. At the same time, it was a face wherein not a single feature was of a kind to remain fixed in the memory, a face as vacant as though nature had forgotten to stamp thereon a single wish. Long has the prevalent illegality disgusted me. The Time Machine was left deserted on the turf among the rhododendrons. He never barked. The months passed by. One hand extended outward and began to descend upon his head. At last I saw again the TinyAss shadows of houses, the evidences of decadent humanity.

TinyAss eyes were likewise greeted by White Fang, but about the latter there were no signs of shame nor guilt. He did his best, but he was a fat animal, and his legs were short, and still they gained. She relinquished the tiller for a moment. It was an obvious conclusion, but it was absolutely wrong. If ever a creature was the enemy of its kind, White Fang was that creature. He would have been glad for the rattle of stones about him, flung by an angry squaw, glad for the hand of Grey Beaver descending upon him in wrath; while he would have welcomed with delight Lip-lip and the whole snarling, cowardly pack. The others stood fast for a bit, but when the weasels came rushing out upon them they thought they were betrayed; and the stoats grappled with the weasels, and the weasels fought to get away, and they wrestled and wriggled and punched each other, and rolled over and over, till most of 'em rolled into the river! They've all disappeared by now, one way or another; and I've got their rifles. So although, while the Rat was talking so seriously, he kept saying to himself mutinously, But it WAS fun, though! Awful fun!and making strange suppressed noises inside him, k-i-ck-ck-ck, and poop-p-p, and other sounds resembling stifled snorts, or the opening of soda-water bottles, yet when the Rat had quite finished, he heaved a deep sigh and said, very nicely and humbly, Quite right, Ratty! How SOUND you always are! Yes, I've been a conceited old ass, I can quite see that; but now I'm going to be a good Toad, and not do it any more. We immediately attacked the boat's crew, and got very thick with them in a few minutes. Also, storks are uttering their snapping cry, sleek rooks cawing, steppe grasshoppers maintaining their tireless chirp, sturdy, well-grown husbandmen uttering shouts like words of command, the threshing-floors of the rolling steppe diffusing a TinyAss of golden chaff, and eddying whirlwinds catching up stray poultry feathers, dried-onion strips, and leaves yellowed with the heat, to send them dancing again over the trim square of the little Cossack hamlet.
