"Wow! if 'tain't Jim. Hooray!" screeched the youngster, first embracing the blue legs, and then proceeding to execute a dance upon his head. "Te, te, di di, idde i-dum," he sang, coming feet down, finally.
Small wood-mice swarmed, fleeing from the terror they could not see; and a great timber-wolf followed by a couple of cubs fled by without more than a sidelong look. The squirrel in the trees screeched alarm and once she caught sight of a big, dark lumbering body crashing through the undergrowth to the left of her, and divined that it was a bear.
Suddenly, with reverberating strokes, the mill bells rang out, the electric gongs chattered, the siren screeched, drowning the voices. Janet did not pause, but hurried from room to room until, in passing through an open doorway in the weaving department she ran into Mr. Caldwell. He halted a moment, in surprise at finding her there, calling her by name.
There was disagreement what such a person should be called. Miss Piff screeched her shrill opinion last, in the words: "A malignant maniac!" "I adopt," says Our Missis, "the brand set upon such a person by the righteous indignation of my friend Miss Piff. A malignant maniac.
"Let go!" she screeched, as her tunic slipped above her knees; then, after pulling down her clothing, she threw herself into Scintilla's lap, and hid, with her handkerchief, a face which was none the more beautiful for its blushes.
The next day, of course, the Gatling guns resumed their activity; the girls screeched as they walked toward the water-pail to get a drink; we boys studied our geography lesson with faces garbed in a look of innocence and wonder; our mothers at home were wondering what had become of all the matches; and the teacher but the less said of him the better.

"Had enough, has he?" screeched the captain.
The others scrambled to their feet, but he warned them. "Careful, boys!" he yelled. "They're got the drop on us." Just then his eyes fell on Aggie, and he screeched: "Two women and a Turk, by ." The blank is mine. "Lizzie," said Tish sternly, as all of them, including the girl, held their hands up, "just give me your weapon and go over them." "Go over them?" I said, not understanding.
We took our places; the boatman at the oars, his eyes over his shoulder watching keenly the in-racing seas. The four dripping culprits looked at each other uncertainly, and one of them started to climb in the boat. "Well, for God's sake!" screeched Talbot, and made a headlong bull rush for the man. The latter tumbled right out of the boat on his back in the shallow water.
A hoot-owl screeched at mournful intervals, and the night sounds would have tried a city lad's nerves in that long dark stretch that led him finally to the station. But Bob could identify every sound, and nature had always proved kind to him, far kinder than many of the people he had known.
