Colonel Washington, with glaring eyes, gulped, too, a slight draught from the bowl. Then Captain Grace proposed "The Duke and the Army," which toast there was likewise no gainsaying.

Old Jerry gulped and waited choked back a sobbing breath as he saw him start to lift himself once more. Upon his hands and knees first, then upon his knees alone. And then, with eyes shut, he struggled up, at the count of ten, and shaped up again. And Conway beat him down. Even the gallery was quiet now. The thud of that stiff-armed jolt went to every corner of that vast room.
At least two of the occupants opened up their throats and lungs and gulped in the wet, fresh air. Never had anything been so glorious to Truxton King as these first tremendous inhalations of pure, free air. She felt his muscles expand; his whole body grew stronger and more vital.
Quick! Quick! What d'ye want you?" Hiram gulped and searched his brains. "Miss Lucy Dalles says to tell you to have Mr. Blair carry Miss Worthington out of the door. She's fainted, she said, and then he faints and falls. They lay there, and another fella I forget that name takes a letter from Mr. Blair's pocket and runs away. Mr. What's-his-name and Miss Worthington still lie there.
The river was marshy, weed-grown and brown; but I gulped down a drink and felt breath returning and the labored pulse easing.

"All right," he said shortly. "Thal, march 'em over." Thal gulped. He loosened his seat belt. The enlistment of the seven in the pirate fleet was tacitly acknowledged. They were unarmed save for the conventional large knives at their belts. "Frrrd, harch!" rasped Thal with a lump in his throat. "Two, three, four. Hup two, three, four. Hup "
Scotty found a puffer and waved at him, but the fish paid no attention. Scotty motioned to Rick, then reached out and scratched the creature's stomach. It began to gulp water until it resembled a balloon. They left it to return to normal in its own time. On the surface, the puffer would have gulped air in the same way. They had caught them on lines many times.
I had him packed from Chicago to Golden Beach by special train, with full authority to boss the case.... Yes, it's money that saved my boy. Money, Dean, holds the power of life and death.

Dean gulped and answered: "That's what I've come to speak to you about, sir."
"And he's dead?" asked the other in an awed tone. Mrs. Lieders gulped down her tears. "Oh, not so bad as that, I cut him down, he was up in the garret and I sus suspected him and I run up and oh, he was there, a choking, and he was so mad! He swore at me and he kicked me when I I says: 'Kurt, what are you doing of?
"Oh, Maimie," he cried, "it isn't fair to take you with me if you think you can go back. Your mother" he gulped again "you don't know them as well as I do." And then he told her the woful story of how he had been barred out, and she gasped all the time. "But my mother," she said, "my mother" "Yes, she would," said Peter, "they are all the same. I daresay she is looking for another one already."
