Nothing cheers up the village, or cures the influenza, or brings oblivion of war news, or puts every one into conceit with themselves, so quickly, or leaves such a glow of sound satisfaction behind it. It would be odd if it did not, considering the amount of time, money, and trouble spent before the pack trots up to the green before the old grey church at eleven on a February morning.
The cheers of the lads, silent at first, rose louder with each round, and culminated in a yell of triumph when, at the end of fifty-five minutes, Tom Walker, having for the third time in succession been knocked down, was absolutely unable to rise at the call of "time" to renew the fight. Never had an event created such a sensation in Stokebridge.
"He seems just like any other man; what shall we do?" "Give him three Yankee cheers," replied the doctor. Captain Kendall spoke to the flag-officer and to Captain Haven.

Shortly after this the Harvard men had the Princeton team near their goal line and in possession of the ball. Two linemen used their hands, which on the offense is illegal, and made a hole through which the Harvard halfback passed and crossed the line for a touchdown amid tremendous cheers from the Harvard contingent. This touchdown was not allowed by the Umpire.

And then they was asking to be introduced to his wife she was all broke to bits, and crying, and kept her veil down and shaking hands with her too; and they ended off by giving Charley and his wife three cheers. You never seen folks so pleased!
The Sovereign Queen's let deserters go free, if you can credit it; an' that's how I stand here this minute." A buzz and hum with cheers and some laughter and congratulations followed Will's announcement. Then the people scattered to spread his story, and Mr. Blee spoke. "Come you down home to wance. Ban't none up here as cares a rush 'bout 'e but me. But theer 's a many anxious folks below.
'Thank you, Sir, it was my duty, repeated Harold, making his bow. 'Sir, Sir, pray let us give him three cheers, burst out the head boy in an imploring voice. Mr. Carter smiled and nodded; and there was such a hearty roaring and stamping, such 'hip, hip, hurrah! bursting out again and again, that the windows clattered, and the room seemed fuller of noise than it could possibly hold.
The cheers of anticipated victory burst from the soldiers, mingled with the clangor of their striking shields at the inspiring voice of their leader. "The Regent of Scotland," replied Wallace, for once asserting the majesty of his station, "and you, Lord Athol, with the Lord Buchan, are to defend your country under the command of the brave head of your house, the princely Badenoch."
