That age was not widely and enthusiastically appreciative of literary merit in playwrights who were merely dramatists, and in no other way notorious or eminent. Mr. We also know that the plays were popular; but the audiences have not rushed to pen and ink to record their satisfaction. With them, as with all audiences, the actors and the SPECTACLE, much more than the "cackle," were the attractions.
Whatever else he had done he had thoroughly aroused our curiosity. "If you want my opinion that's all he was after anyway!" said Will, dropping his last cigarette-end on the floor and flattening it with his slipper. "Cut the cackle, and let's sleep!"
Even the hens of the farm-yard cackle with no new tone of hope and animation at the birth of the English Spring. The fact is, it is a baby three months old when it is baptised. It is really born at Christmas instead of Easter, and makes no more stir in the family circle of the seasons than any familiar face would at a farmer's table.
We don't sit roostin' on a fence when folks need our help out there. We go to it." "You can't do that sort of thing here. People talk." "Sure, and hens cackle. Let 'em!" "There are some things men don't understand," she told him with an acid little smile of superiority. "When a girl cries a little they think she's heartbroken. Very likely she's laughing at them up her sleeve.
There was a correspondence in the papers, but it never led to anything. There were several other similar cases, and then there was the death of Hay Connor. What a cackle there was about an unsolved mystery of the air, and what columns in the halfpenny papers, and yet how little was ever done to get to the bottom of the business! He came down in a tremendous vol-plane from an unknown height.
Old men with the flat tone of coming senility in their voices will suck at their pipes and cackle reminiscently while they tell you of Casey's tumultuous youth when he drove the six fastest horses in Colorado on the stage out from Cripple Creek, and whooped past would-be holdups with a grin of derision on his face and bullets whining after him and passengers praying disjointed prayers and clinging white-knuckled to the seats.
He looked savagely round the room, and, having failed to discover them, he strolled to the bar to get a drink. "Hallo, Billy; not dancing? She loves me; she loves me not! Cheer up, dearie!" An inane-looking ass raised his whisky-and-soda to his lips with a fatuous cackle. "I wonder they don't have a home for people like you, Jackson," remarked Billy curtly. "Whisky-and-soda, please."
Oriol flushed with a sudden wave of intelligence: "Perhaps some plot against his majesty." "Heaven knows," Navailles commented. Æsop interrupted the discussion with a dry laugh, dimly suggestive of the cackle of a jackdaw. "I know, gentlemen." Oriol stared at him. "You know?" Nocé gave vent to an angry laugh. "The hunchback knows."
Success is certain. Will you honor me by drinking to it?" We drank solemnly. "I thought you were wearing a dark-green scarf," I interrupted, somewhat irrelevantly, speaking to Indiman. "I am," he replied. "It is red," I insisted. "Not green at all." "Nonsense!" said Indiman, and thereupon Mr. Colman Hoyt burst into a cackle of laughter. "Complementary colors," he said.
For this crackling is like the whistling of a Whistler Duck's wings: it is to keep the kinds together. He learned that where the little Bomuldblomster hangs its Cotton tufts is dangerous bog; that the harsh cackle of the Ptarmigan means that close at hand are Eagles, as dangerous for Fawn as for Bird.
