"His brain is so stupid that he does not know he is an apparition," the White Logic chuckles to me. "He is sense-drunk. He is the slave of the dream of life. His brain is filled with superrational sanctions and obsessions. He believes in a transcendent over-world. He has listened to the vagaries of the prophets, who have given to him the sumptuous bubble of Paradise.
"Who knows where the King is now?" he asked. "Come, let's be off!" said I; but he sat still. And suddenly he burst into one of his grating chuckles: "By Jove, we've shaken up Black Michael!" "Come, come!" I repeated impatiently. "And we'll shake him up a bit more," he added, a cunning smile broadening on his wrinkled, weather-beaten face, and his teeth working on an end of his grizzled moustache.
Shorty shook his head and began to laugh. It was a colossal laugh. Chuckles and muffled explosions yielded to hearty roars. "It ain't hysterics," he explained, "I sure get powerful amused at times, an' this is one of them." His gaze chanced to fall on the gold pan. He walked over and gravely kicked it, scattering the gold over the landscape. "It ain't ourn," he said.
At times he chuckles and rubs his hands, and his slant little black eyes twinkle merrily at the thought of the funny world. For out of all his living and philosophizing, that remains to him the conviction that it is a very funny world. "You cannot escape liking the climate," Cudworth said, in reply to my panegyric on the Kona coast.
Come on round to the front and see if we can find an attic window. Look at this smoke!" "Nasty!" said the old lady, her eyes following his gesture, puckering her face into an expression of great distaste. "Come on!" "Can't hear a word you say." He pulled her arm. "Come on!" She paused for a moment to relieve herself of a series of entirely unexpected chuckles.
"What way would my mother be feared," said Ellen, "and me seventeen past?" "There's many a lassie who's found being seventeen no protection from a wicked world." He emitted some great Burns-night chuckles, and kicked the fire to a blaze. She said sternly, "Take note, Mr. James, that I haven't done a hand's turn this hour or more, and that not for want of asking for work.
As they was starting down the ladder the duke he chuckles again, and says: "Quick sales AND small profits! It's a good business yes." The king snarls around on him and says: "I was trying to do for the best in sellin' 'em out so quick. If the profits has turned out to be none, lackin' considable, and none to carry, is it my fault any more'n it's yourn?"
As he flew, Hooty kept chuckling, and Danny Meadow Mouse knew just what those chuckles meant. They meant that Hooty was thinking of the good meal he was going to have. Hanging there in Hooty's great cruel claws, Danny looked down on the snow-covered Green Meadows he loved so well. They seemed a frightfully long way below him, though really they were not far at all, for Hooty was flying very low.
He is the humourist of the wilderness the happiest, the best-natured, and altogether the mildest-mannered beast that ever drew breath. He talks and chatters and chuckles incessantly, and when he travels he walks like a huge animated pincushion; he is oblivious of everything about him as though asleep.
And an outsider, hearing these chuckles, and knowing what had gone before, might have inferred that perhaps Captain Eri did not view the "matching" and the matrimonial project with quite the deadly seriousness of the other two occupants of the house by the shore. There is in Orham a self-appointed committee whose duty it is to see the train come in.
