"What should we do without our Great Majority, as you call it? It is absolutely necessary to put some curb on the wild impulses of pure reason" a sentiment that Hadria greeted with chuckles of derision. Joseph Fleming was looking longingly towards the grave, but his face was resigned, for the Ancient Mariner had him button-holed securely.
The girl lifted it, laughing, and was in the act of fitting it to her fair head amid the chuckles of her companions, when a slap from the hand of Bhanavar spun her twice round, and she dropped to the marble insensible.
How much?" he demanded of the vendor, a bright-eyed Egyptian waiting patiently until our conference should cease. "Twenty shillings," he replied promptly. The professor shook with one of his cavernous chuckles. "Too much," he observed, and handed the necklace back through the window. The Egyptian would by no means receive it.
The other men joined in the grim laughter. After a minute, another voice sounded above the last ugly chuckles. "Now, we got 'er, Tess, ye air to do anythin' ye want to with 'er." Still, the blue eyes looked into the brown, and, still, Tessibel's heart raged its satisfaction. What were the squatters going to do with Waldstricker's daughter?
It is most unusual; we have not had a visitor for years. I wish I could oblige you, but it is impossible. Good-bye!" With that she closed the door in the faces of the astonished, as well as amused, campers, and Bluff burst into a series of low chuckles. "Wow! but doesn't that beat the Dutch?" he exclaimed, as though overpowered by the humorous aspect of the adventure.
He may, in his revulsion against it, attempt to end it all; he may, in sheer disgust of it, take his doses stronger than ever before, as if he would once for all choke to death that part of him which is fine enough to rebel against it; he may even forswear, in melancholy penitence, that which has served to give it flavor, and vow him vows of abstemiousness at which the grosser part of him chuckles ironically; or, he may blindly follow the first errant impulse for change of environment, in the half-formed hope that new scenes may, without further effort on his part, serve to make of him a new man a man for whom he can feel some respect.
When they have good features, a cleft chin and a generous nose, clean-shaven men are good to look at. He had fine eyes, in the corners of which always lurked mirth and mischief; for he possessed above all things an inexhaustible fund of dry humor. His lines seldom provoked rough laughter; rather, silent chuckles. Warrington's scowl abated none.
He brushed a bead of perspiration from his face with the back of his hand. Unfortunately, he used the sooty hand, and the result was too much for Lord Emsworth's politeness. He burst into a series of pleased chuckles. "Your face, my dear Baxter! Your face! It is positively covered with soot positively! You must go and wash it. You are quite black.
It is not only in the woods that this enchanter carols, though perhaps he is native there. He sings in the most doleful places. The miser hears him and chuckles, and his days are moments. With no more apparatus than an evil-smelling lantern, I have evoked him on the naked links. All life that is not merely mechanical is spun out of two strands, seeking for that bird and hearing him.
As Upweekis has few wits to spare, Moktaques often sees him close at hand, and chuckles in his form under the brown ferns, or sits up straight under the snow-covered hemlock tips, and watches the big lynx at his hunting.
