They rose with the moon, and, in a few hours actually came in sight of the deserter. He was drinking at the river's brink within sound of the roar of St. Anthony's Falls. Perceiving his pursuers approaching, the noble beast threw up his head, gave a loud snort and darted off. Bloody Jim gave an impatient grunt, but Ketchum clapped his hands with delight.
The Quakers frowned upon Church music, but not before the Puritan Prynne had written of choirs: "Choirsters bellow the tenor as it were oxen; bark a counterpart, as it were a kennel of dogs; roar out a treble, as it were a sort of bulls; and grunt a bass, as it were a number of hogs."
There was only one Second-class on the train. I slipped the window and looked down upon a flaming-red beard, half covered by a railway-rug. That was my man, fast asleep, and I dug him gently in the ribs. He woke with a grunt, and I saw his face in the light of the lamps. It was a great and shining face. "Tickets again?" said he. "No," said I. "I am to tell you that he is gone South for the week.
In a little valley driven into the Buttes' side, where the grass grew long because of deep snow in winter time, the big Buffalo stopped, prospected the ground with his nose, flipped a sharp stone from the couch with nimble lip, and knelt down gingerly, for rheumatism had crept into his old bones; then with a tired grunt of relaxation he rolled on his side, and blew a great breath of sweet content through his nostrils.
It's a detail, but it's as if there were something something very good TO sniff." Waymarsh's face had shown his friend an attention apparently so remote that the latter was slightly surprised to find it at this point abreast with him. "Do you mean a smell? What of?" "A charming scent. But I don't know." Waymarsh gave an inferential grunt. "Does he live there with a woman?" "I don't know."
Sometimes the little door would fly open disclosing to the outer world, through the bluish haze of tobacco smoke, a long table loaded with bottles of various shapes and tall water-pitchers, rattan easy-chairs occupied by noisy men in sprawling attitudes, while the Master would put his head through and, holding by the handle, would grunt confidentially to Vinck; perhaps send an order thundering down the warehouse, or spy a hesitating stranger and greet him with a friendly roar, "Welgome, Gapitan! ver' you gome vrom?
This made a hard ball on their toes thet jest slipped off their throats when they struck." Ben slipped into his chair with a grunt. "O' course, I didn't know thet when I was swimmin'," continued Bud, 'an' I thinks I've run ercross a new web-footed breed o' hawgs.
They retreated two inches or so and waited impatiently. With a satisfied grunt he dropped his knife and pulled the lid up. "Why, there's nothing in it!" Ricky's cry of disappointment was almost a wail. "Nothing but that old torn lining." Val was as disgusted as she. Rupert closed it again. "I'll rub this up some and put in another lining.
With a reluctant grunt he had turned and fled, indifferent to his dignity. And he had thought best not to stop until he found himself quite beyond the range of Mrs. Gammit's disconcerting accents, which rang harsh triumph across the solemn, silvered stillness of the forest. It was, of course, this imminent peril to the pig which had roused Mrs.
I had never practised blowing that instrument, and try as I would, I could get no more than a feeble grunt out of it. Thicker and thicker grew the mist, and the snow fell in numerous and heavy flakes.
