Shortly before sunrise I went into the wood and found it deserted. The robin is one of our noisiest birds. Who would have believed that an assembly of thousands could break up so quietly? Their behavior in this regard may possibly have been influenced by prudential considerations. I have said that many of them seemingly took pains to approach the roost indirectly and under cover.
"You will give me Louise's address?" he asked. "Some one must see her." "I will send it you," the Baroness promised, "before the day is out." "One would scarcely believe," Wrayson remarked, leaning back in his chair and drawing in a long deep breath, "that we are within three miles of one of the noisiest and most bustling of French watering places." "It is incredible," his companion admitted.
Why, at the farthest side of the Three-Times table Sara saw a Fraction who consisted entirely of one eye! There was one table, to be sure, the Eleven-Times, the noisiest of all, that was occupied entirely by Improper Fractions; but aside from their table-manners and general behavior, which were shocking, Sara thought they looked even worse than the proper ones.
Good as any in the line boarding camps. I'm going to eat here. You come in and eat too." A mumbling began among them and immediately it swelled into a jabbering chorus as the few who understood translated his words to the others. He leaped down off the muddy stoop and strode among them, cuffing this one and that of those malcontents who were noisiest.
He had fought in the ring, and on one occasion had killed a man with a single blow of his fist, in a prize fight near St. Louis. We were all very proud of him, and it was as good as an entertainment to us to see the noisiest roughs subside into deferential silence as Ned would come among them, like some grand mastiff in the midst of a pack of yelping curs.
An organ grinder at one point, and a clarion and a flute at another, accomplished what their could towards filling the wide space with tuneful noise, Their small uproar, however, was nearly drowned by the multitudinous voices of the people, bargaining, quarrelling, laughing, and babbling copiously at random; for the briskness of the mountain atmosphere, or some other cause, made everybody so loquacious, that more words were wasted in Perugia on this one market day, than the noisiest piazza of Rome would utter in a month.
The report, and all the officials and speakers, especially those from the town, complained of the indifference of the artisans, mechanics, and labourers of that town to instruction and education generally. It seems, on the showing of Bright's friends, that these fellows, the noisiest of their class about Reform, are the most ignorant and the least desirous of improving themselves.
Nevertheless, through the effect of her irresistible attractions, the Duchess di Bracciano became the centre of a cosmopolitan society which, in the midst of the noisiest diversions, debated daily in the capital of the papal dominions the weightiest problems of contemporary politics.
Questions and answers, only half distinguishable, blew between them, with explosions of laughter, and a thunder of claps on each other's shoulders. When their gale was at its noisiest, Royal's part of it abruptly sank to a dead calm, stopped by "an angel unawares."
The Burgomaster was about to make some peppery reply, when Max suddenly broke upon the whispered conversation by exclaiming: "Since you are so good, sir, as to drive us, perhaps you will inform us to whom we are obliged." But the stranger, who, before this, had been the noisiest of the party, appeared to have become suddenly dumb, for he answered not a word.
