"He likes chicken better than anything else," murmured Miss Wingate as she buried a blush in Martin Luther's topknot. "Well, wanting ain't always a reason for being gave to," said the Doctor's mother with a chuckle as she admired the side view of the blush.
Poverty, forced labour, with its feet in the wet, wearing its blouse, its apron, its cap raised from habit, with sneering chuckle watched this inhabitant of another sphere pass by, this brilliant duke, severed now from all his honours, who perhaps while living had never paid a visit to that end of the town. But there it is.
Helmsgail, raising his arm, struck out; and, what was strange, both fell. A ghastly chuckle was heard. It was Phelem-ghe-Madone's expression of delight. While receiving the terrible blow given him by Helmsgail on the skull, he had given him a foul blow on the navel. Helmsgail, lying on his back, rattled in his throat. The spectators looked at him as he lay on the ground, and said, "Paid back!"
Acton eyed him for a moment with a look of indignant astonishment; then he began to smile, Jack Vance commenced to chuckle, and very soon all three were laughing in concert. "Well, I think it's rather unfeeling of you fellows," said the rejected suitor; "I can tell you I'm jolly cut up about it." "I'm awfully sorry," answered Diggory, "but I couldn't help laughing.
"Where was he when your father and Squire Pope committed this outrage?" said Frank indignantly. "I thought you'd be mad," said Zeke, with the same unpleasant chuckle. "Answer my question, or I'll pitch you into the river," said Frank sternly. He did not mean what he said, but Zeke drew back in alarm. "Quit now! I didn't have nothin' to do with it," said Zeke hastily.
"Aren't they condescending, though," mocked Mollie. "As if we didn't have secrets ourselves!" "Shall we tell them?" asked Grace. "Let's hear theirs first," suggested Betty. "What's the matter, Percy, has your wrist watch stopped?" asked Roy Anderson, with a chuckle, for the "johnny" was anxiously holding the timepiece to his ear. "I I believe I quite forgot to wind it," was the answer.
But it merely made him stiff. She trailed off to the rest of the company, only turning to wave her handkerchief to him, and to chuckle with laughter, singing out: 'Good-bye, good-bye, little boy. 'Good-bye, impudent hag, he said to himself. They all went through the park. Hermione wanted to show them the wild daffodils on a little slope.
"No," she laughed, "and if I go back with you to Wiggins to the little white cottage, you know, opposite the blacksmith's shop, you'll give me what you've got for me, won't you?"

Since those days men have made "fire-proof" buildings.
"Egad, but she's a fine spirit o' her ain, an' as bonnie a face as I've seen since I remember," cried old Mr. Dalgetty, the senior member of the Board, and the one hardest to please. "I'd not mind bein' a pupil at Wissan Bridge school the comin' term myself." And he gave an old man's privileged chuckle as he looked at his colleagues. "But she's over-young for the work, over-young."
Then it is found to have no notion of grasping anything, though that is usually almost the first accomplishment of babyhood; if tossed in its nurse's arms there seems to be no spring in its limbs; and though a strange vacant smile sometimes passes over its face, yet the merry ringing laugh of infancy or joyous chuckle of irrepressible glee is not heard.
