The chant begins with a long high note, and descends by fractional tones with almost every syllable, and faints away a last into an almost indistinguishable hum. Then comes the stroke, 'Ghi! ghi! But at night Mionoseki is one of the noisiest and merriest little havens of Western Japan.
"Worth while?" repeated Plank, flushing heavily, "it is worth while to me. I have always desired to be a part of the best that there is in my own country; and the best is here, isn't it?"

Losely, and very nearly caught something else; for that gentleman was in a ring of noisy horsemen, mounted on a hired hack, and loud as the noisiest.

He came into the world in the house of a tailor, his good old grandfather, in the Rue Montorgueil, one of the noisiest of the Parisian streets, famous for its restaurants and the number of oysters consumed in them.
