Wheeler picked up the third Crimson score at 10: 43 of the first period. Taking a handoff from Crone, Wheeler broke off left tackle, reversed his field, and scored on a twisting 38-yard touchdown scamper through the raindrops...
...Witt still has plenty of disadvantages. The cats so far have not much impressed the bandicoots, which occasionally scamper across Jane's face at night and persist in digging up the vegetable seeds she has planted in a small garden. But she has made a friend -a penguin named Mickey Mouse -and she is beginning to feel that "this is my world and my life . . . it is so beautiful here I can't imagine Melbourne any longer."

Toddy is a potent and pungent Indian drink fermented from palm sap, traditionally collected by tappers who scamper daily to treetops to retrieve earthenware pots filled with sap tapped from the trees. But toddy tapping became a near-forgotten craft after 1948, when Tamil Nadu responded to a plea by Mohandas Gandhi to save Indians-and their pay envelopes -from toddy...
