So Cudjo went lustily to work with his axe; and the white sycamore chips were soon flying in every direction. "He had hardly made a dozen strokes, when we were startled by a singular noise, that sounded something like a `cross' between a growl and a snort! "Cudjo immediately suspended his blows; and we all stood gazing at each other with looks that betokened surprise and terror.
He gives an interesting anecdote of one man engaged in helping such a pack-train, the bell of whose horse was stolen. The thief was recovered, and whipped as a punishment, the owner exclaiming as he laid the strokes lustily on: "Think what a rascally figure I should make in the streets of Baltimore without a bell on my horse."
But it so befell them as it had done their king, and they plied the flagon so well that the noise ran throughout all the camp, how the prisoner was returned; that the next day they were to have an assault; that the king and his captains did already prepare themselves for it, together with his guards, and that with carousing lustily and quaffing as hard as they could.
And here Richard's heart in spite of pity, in spite of tenderness which would have borne a hundred miseries to save her five minutes' discomfort sang Te Deum, and that lustily enough!

I won't be a second, and I don't mind going alone a bit. I'll take Boru with me; he looks as though he wanted a run. How about it, old fellow?" Boru wagged his tail, looked at Janet, and then followed Phyllis, barking lustily. Once in the air with the stiff chill breeze in her face and Boru frisking beside her, she threw off some of the depression that was making the day horrible.
