"Let me out, boys!" cried Mr Parrett as well as he could for choking and holding his nose. "Tell you it won't wash, my boy!" cried the insulting voice outside. "Try again! Have a little more sulphuretted hydrogen. Jolly stuff, isn't it? Hold on, you fellows, while I chuck it in!" The idea of another bottle was more than any one could endure.
They would dive head first, one after the other, in at the doorway, and not show their noses outside again until Johnny or Polly Chuck told them they could. Then there was a still different whistle. It meant "Danger very near; lie low!"
Anyway, we can only chuck about a part of ourselves at a time, we cannot chuck the lot and yet I do not know this, for we may jump off the ground and fling ourselves on to a man.
I would have spouted yards of good poetry when I was his age a night like this. Hasn't Wayland told you the flowers are the best part of the mountains in June? Pshaw! Like all the rest of them from the East stuffed full of college chuck can't tell a daisy from an aster! Takes an old stager who never had your dude Service suits on his back to know the secrets of these hills, Miss Eleanor.
I can't say I like him so well. He's a little sneaky, I think. Chuck told me they took him in because Mr. Allen wanted them to. The 'Chief' says he has a pile of good in him, if we can just get it out. He has been awfully nice to me, though. He talks camera to me almost every time I see him.

Hang it all, I feel like a beast to chuck you out this way, but I have partners, you know. What will you do now?" "I don't know." Cousin Gussie reflected.

How do you know she will?"
I've been trying long enough to get a play on Broadway, and it isn't likely that I'm going to chuck away my chance when it comes along just because one might do better in the way of casting." "But, Jerry! Mabel Hobson! It's... it's murder! Murder in the first degree." "Nonsense. She'll be all right. The part will play itself.
Theirs is rather a large family, and it is divided into three groups, the first of which consists of the true Squirrels, to which group both Happy Jack and Chatterer belong. The second group consists of the Marmots, and Johnny Chuck belongs to this. The third group Timmy the Flying Squirrel has all to himself." "Where does Striped Chipmunk come in?" asked Chatterer.
And I've slaved at it steadily for ten years without reward without the most distant hope of success! Nobody will look at my stuff. And now I'm fifty, and I'm beaten, and I know it." His chin dropped forward on his breast. "I want to chuck the whole business," he ended. It was after midnight when Ascham left.
You'll chuck this addled sentimental pangs-of-conscience lay, hand over the jewels, and and I'll hand 'em back to you the day we're married, all set and ... as handsome a wedding present as any woman ever got...."
