He was aroused by the light touch of Allen's hand on his knee. The young man bent toward him with a bright light in his eyes. "You know," he said, "Marian and I are engaged!" "You're what?" bellowed Dan. "We're engaged, old man; we're engaged!
"You cowards!" bellowed the sailor, "I'll have to come back and finish with the pope myself! It will not be the first one, anyhow. It's too late now! Be damned you all! Go ahead!" The gangplanks dropped. The steamer started to move. The priest stood still blessing her passengers, the Emperor, the Empress, the bolsheviki, the crew, all, all of them.
Bangs's answer was in the form of delicate sarcasm, bellowed into the ear trumpet. "Sho!" he exclaimed. "I want to know! You don't say! Now you mention it, seems as if I had noticed a little air stirrin'." Another gust tilted the carriage top. Debby clutched the arm still tighter. "Why, it blows awful hard!" she cried. "I'd no idee it blew like this."
"What craft is that, and what do you want?" hailed the officer of the deck, from above. "The tender 'Lurline, sir, with three of your gentlemen to put h'aboard of you, sir," the Briton bellowed through a window of the wheel-house. "Very good, then.

With surprising delicacy in his large fingers he unwrapped the towels and revealed an arm which, below the elbow, was a mass of blood and raw flesh. The man bellowed. The room grew thick about her; she was very seasick; she fled to a chair in the kitchen. Through the haze of nausea she heard Kennicott grumbling, "Afraid it will have to come off, Adolph. What did you do? Fall on a reaper blade?
He seeth the bull of copper in the midst of the castle right big and horrible, that was surrounded on all sides by folk that all did worship thereunto together round about. The bull bellowed so passing loud that right uneath was it to hear aught else within the castle besides.
We mused over the history of his time until we slept, and dreamed: and first in our dream we saw a fair meadow, and it was sprinkled over with white daisies, and a bull was feeding therein; and as we looked upon him he grew fatter and fatter, and roared in the wantonness of power and strength, so that the earth trembled; and he plucked the branches off the trees, and trampled on the ancient inclosures of the meadow, and as he stormed, and bellowed, and destroyed, the daisies became human heads, and the creature flung them about, and warmed his hoofs in the hot blood that flowed from them and we grew sick and sorry at heart, and thought, is there no one to slay the destroyer?
His splendid English thoroughbred, as if it would outstrip the blast which whirled the dust aloft, flew along with him and seemed to share the blind fury of his master who waved his flashing sword above his horse's head and bellowed at his opponents from afar like a wild beast. "We'll seize the fellow before his companions come up," said the lieutenant to his men.
She's the worthiest woman alive, and I don't shirk my duty. Be quiet! he bellowed at the alarum; 'I 'm coming. Don't be in such a fright, my dear, he admonished it as his wife, politely. 'Your hand'll take an hour to warm if you keep it out on the spring that sets the creature going. He turned and informed his company: 'Her hand'll take an hour to warm. Dear! how she runs ahead: d' ye hear?
Springing aside, he seized that fence-pole with which he had once restrained himself from striking Peter of the Bandkotten, and which happened by chance to be handy, and gave the obstinate beast such a mighty blow on the groins with the heavy end of it that the cow bellowed with pain, her sides began to quiver, and her nostrils to snort.
