"Take time to think over your position, and confess everything to me." Garvington got out of the room as swiftly as his shaky legs could carry him, and paused at the door to turn with a very evil face. "You daren't split on me," he screeched. "I defy you! I defy you! You daren't split on me." Alas! Agnes knew that only too well, and when he disappeared she wept bitterly, feeling her impotence.
The "pony dot" flew higher and jangled and screeched with accumulating vindictiveness. To what fearsome figure had this hasty flight transformed the mean little emblem of rusticity? A tipsy goblin? No rather a limping aeroplane of the Stone Age; and it rattled like a belfry under the shock of bombardment.
"What do you thugs want?" snapped the criminologist, as he clenched the cane tightly and held the handkerchief in his left hand. There was no reply. The men realized that he knew their purpose one dropped to a knee position as the other sprang forward. The famous football toe shot forward with more at stake than ever in the days when the grandstands screeched for a field goal.
Mother Mawks was evidently a lady of an excitable disposition. The simple request seemed to drive her nearly frantic. She raised her voice to an absolute scream, thrusting her dirty hands through her still dirtier hair as the proper accompanying gesture to her vituperative oratory. "Will I! Will I!" she screeched. "Will I let out my hown babby for the night for nuthin'? Will I? No, I won't!
Take it off this minute!" "Come here, Jocko!" roared the Italian. "Come, Jocko!" and he held out his hands. But Jocko had no intention of coming. Instead he clung the closer, his two forefeet in the lady's hair. The hair was largely false, and all of a sudden a long switch came loose and fell to the ground. At this the damsel screeched at the top of her lungs and, caught at the hair.
Robins called; bluejays screeched in the tall, white oaks; wood-peckers hammered in the dead hard-woods, and crows cawed overhead. Squirrels chattered everywhere. Ruffed grouse rose with great bustle and a whirr, flitting like brown flakes through the leaves. From far above came the shrill cry of a hawk, followed by the wilder scream of an eagle.
Finally, Baltic had some experience of casting religious pearls before pagan swine, and therefore was discreet in his use of spiritual remedies. Dogs barked and children screeched when Baltic stepped into the circle formed by caravans and tents; and several swart, sinewy, gipsy men darted threatening glances at him as an intrusive stranger.
It was Tillie, as white as milk, and breathing in gasps. "Quick!" she screeched, "Minnie, quick!" "What is it?" I asked, jumping up. She'd fallen back against the door-frame and stood with her hand clutching her heart. "That dev devil Mike!" she panted. "He has turned on the steam in the men's baths and gone gone away!" "With people in the bath?" Doctor Barnes asked, slamming down the pail.
Just as he got to the place where the King's daughter was sitting, the Troll came rushing up with a great whistling and whirring, and he was so big and stout that he was terrible to see, and he had five heads. 'Fire! screeched the Troll. 'Fire yourself! said Minnikin. 'Can you fight? roared the Troll. 'If not, I can learn, said Minnikin.
Other scissors have frayed and unraveled the garments they touched, but I have always made a clean path through the linen or the damask I was called to divide. Others screeched complainingly at their toil; I smoothly worked my jaws.
