"Where? where, Bobby?" cried Orde, fairly shaking the small boy by the shoulder. He felt like a man in a bad dream, trying to reach a goal that constantly eluded him. At this moment a calm, dry voice broke through the turmoil of questions and exclamations. Orde looked up to see the tall, angular form of Doctor McMullen standing in the doorway.
Franklin rose and looked calmly about him while the buzzing of comment and the outspoken exclamations of applause yet greeted the speech of the prosecutor. He knew that Curly's thoughtless earlier description of the scene of the arrest would in advance be held as much evidence in the trial as any sworn testimony given in the court. Still, the sentiment of pity was strong in his heart.
Lizards and occasionally snakes are disposed of without ceremony, though in the case of the snakes the tactics of the dogs are quite discreet. I flatter myself that I understand the language of my own dogs sufficiently to enable me to judge when they have detected something demanding my co-operation in the killing. When assistance is needed, there are notes of urgent appeal in their exclamations.
Her first exclamations were those of terror, and then turning a wistful look on Eve, she burst into tears. "Ah, ceci est decisif!" she exclaimed. "When we part, we shall be separated for life."

But the domestic strain was growing intolerable, and she felt sure that Clarence would be exasperated if her weakness prolonged it. 'Now do let me advise you, Louise, she answered gently. 'Are you acting wisely? Wouldn't it be very much better to go home?, Louise lost all her self-control. Flushed with anger, her eyes glaring, she broke into vehement exclamations.

"Who didn't what?" asked his father, for Bunny would often make these sudden exclamations. "Dix didn't go off chasing a rabbit or a squirrel," said Bunny. "There he comes now with an elephant, I guess," and the little boy pointed down the road. There was Dix coming back, and he was half dragging and half carrying something that looked like an animal.

"Brother, brother! forgive me; I see how I have wronged you. If she has forgotten me, if she love you, take her and be happy!" Philip returned his embrace, but without warmth, and then moved away; and, again, in great disorder, paced the room. His brother only heard disjointed exclamations that seemed to escape him unawares: "They said she loved me! Heaven give me strength!
Cant's time, it has been understood in a larger Sense, and signifies all sudden Exclamations, Whinings, unusual Tones, and in fine all Praying and Preaching, like the unlearned of the Presbyterians.

As arrangements had been made with the ubiquitous Cash for burros and ponies before the party left for the West, there was little or no delay in getting started. The girls uttered delighted exclamations as their little animals were led up to the hotel steps by a long-legged Mexican who was to accompany the party to Steer Wells, where the ponies were to be abandoned and a permanent camp formed.
Tchernoff continued drinking, but with a distracted air, his eyes fixed on the red cloud that floated over the roofs.
