"Oh, what a difference since the morning!" sang Dick blithely. "Say, just think! West Point really for mine!" "Bosh!" grunted Darrin happily. "I'm going to Annapolis!" Then, as by a common impulse Dick and Dave seized Tom Reade by either hand.
By and by the pain stopped, she got her second wind, and then she began to tread close on Curly's heels. "Huh!" he grunted at last, "you needn't be in such a hurry. The dam will stay there and so will the fish." "All right," responded Ruth, still meekly, but with dancing eyes.
Sir Charles continued to clamour for Tinsley, his flag lieutenant, who, as a matter of fact, was the man drunk in the wheelbarrow. When this was explained by the shouts of the negroes, he grunted, "Umph!" turned on the man at his side, and said, "Here, Oldham; you lend a hand to duck the little toad."

An army of hermit crabs scuttled and rustled away before him as he advanced up the beach, but under the palms no pigs rooted and grunted. The cocoanuts lay where they had fallen, and at the copra-sheds there were no signs of curing.
"It was at your request that I went into the law. I have learned to like that profession.

The boards were to be loosened by a Gorgett man upstairs, as soon as the box was locked in; he would take up a piece of planking enough to get an arm in and stuff the box with Gorgett ballots till it grunted. Then he would replace the board and slide out.
We'll lay up a good stock of rations I mean save the fresh and keep on eating the stale, and be all ready for the right morning, and when it comes, nip outside, mount the helephant, and away we will go I mean, that is, if you think that you can creep up same as I do, and lower yourself down from the roof."
