Boys don't cry without knowing why?" "Well, miss, I ain't sure what I'm crying for." "Speak out, man! Don't be foolish." "Master give me a terrible cut, miss!" "Did you deserve it?" "Don' know, miss." "You don't seem to know anything this morning!" "No, miss!" "What did your master give you the cut for?" "'Cause I was cryin'." Here he burst into a restrained howl. "What were you crying for?"
I did not dare to howl, lest I should make the big dog, Jim, angry. He was sleeping in a kennel, out in the yard. The stable was very quiet. Up in the loft above, some rabbits that I had heard running about had now gone to sleep. The guinea pig was nestling in the corner of his box, and the cat and the tame rat had scampered into the house long ago.
They often shew a presentiment of danger, and gave notice of the earthquake at Gabaluasco in 1835, by leaving the town, also at Concepcion, in the same manner. Some dogs have a great antipathy to music, others only to certain tones, and I have known a dog who always set up a howl at particular passages.
On hearing this, the boy set up a howl of affected despair, and suffered Henry to lead him unresistingly to within a few feet of Bumpus, but, just as he was within an inch of the huge fist of that nautical monster, he suddenly wrenched his collar out of his captor's grasp, darted to the door, turned round on the threshold, hit the side of his own nose a sounding slap with the forefinger of his right hand, uttered an inexpressively savage yell, vanished from the scene, and,
Even the silence seemed charged with awful things. Then suddenly, without any warning, the picture faded completely away. A cry which was almost a howl of anger broke from Quest's lips. Craig had fallen sideways from his chair. There was an ominous change in his face. Something seemed to have passed from the atmosphere of the room, some tense and nameless quality.
He put a hand on the table as though to spring up from his seat. "Is he dead, then?" he demanded. "Damn it; so you knew he'd do it!" roared the captain. "Don't deny it; you've admitted it. You knew he'd hang himself, and yet." "But he couldn't," cried Jovannic, as Captain Hahn choked and sputtered. "I ordered him to be watched. I told the sergeant" Captain Hahn broke in with something like a howl.
Before proceeding twenty paces on his way, he was startled by the report of a gun. The sound was followed by a howl of pain, which he knew came from the hound Spoor'em. At the same instant, trotting out from some bushes on the brow of the hill, he saw two mounted men. One glance told him they were the men he had seen the evening before it the house of Van Ormon.
As a result, within less than a full minute, Tom had removed two full quart bottles and six smaller ones from the fellow's various pockets. All of these the young chief engineer threw on the ground, smashing them. From the crowd gathered about, which numbered more than sixty men of three different races, a howl went up. President Bascomb began to shiver.
There was no sound, except the growing whisper of the wind, the call of a night bird, and the howl of the old gray wolf that always cried out to the moon from the tangled depths of Indian Tom's swamp. A thrill of nervousness swept through Jolly Roger. He waited half an hour, three-quarters, an hour after the moon had risen. And Nada did not come.
"Do you think that I cannot defend myself against a boy like that?" "He's as big a boy as you are, Master Mark, and I won't let you go alone." "Dummy, you're an insolent dog," cried Mark haughtily. "Keep your place, sir, or I'll never go down the mine with you again." "Oh, very well," said the boy sulkily, "but if he cuts your head off, don't come and howl about it to me after it's done."
