He threw his hands above his shoulders and grasped the man round the neck-then-slowly-shakily-his head swimming and the world a huge teetotum-he rose upon his knees.
"The Sins of Séverac Bablon"
Sax Rohmer
The town awakes; the great teetotum is set up for its daily spin and whirl; all that unaccountable reading and writing, which has been suspended for a few hours, recommences.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
At the booking-office, when we tried to book the ponies, the babu in charge lost his presence of mind and turned round and round like a teetotum.
"Olivia in India"
