"Oh, I'm sorry if I've—if I've meddled,—if I've been too—" "Don't worry," he broke in quickly. "I don't in the least mind. In fact, I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to say in so many words that I do not love her. I've never said it before. I'm glad that I have said it. It helps, after all." "You'll be happy yet," she sniffled. "I know you will.
Constance Drew was an adept at prolonging pleasure and thereby intensifying it. With the tree bowed with fruit, standing glorified before them, the rapt company listened with amaze to Maggie Falstar as she sniffled and hitched through a poem so distorted that the only semi-intelligible words were: "An snow they snelt at the manger, lost in reverent raw."
"About then," he said, "I had nothin' but Jenny and twenty dollars gold that I had loaned to Ruddy Boyd. Hans" he pointed to a stout German sitting on the Carolinian's left "wouldn't give me any more credit at the store." He whined and sniffled. "I'm not blaming you one mite, Hans," he said, "but I had to have flour and bacon, and all I had was twenty dollars gold that Ruddy owed me.
It buttoned up to his neck closely, like some clerical garb. He opened the other box and took out a silk hat. As he put this on his head he straightened up and drew his face down in mock seriousness. "My friends," he sniffled, "you see in me a penitent and reformed man." "Hold me!" yelled Jem, rolling around on the straw in a paroxysm of laughter. "Will it do?" smirked Brady.
Roundjacket, relapsing into the pathetic "see how my unfortunate offspring has been mangled maimed a statutory offence mayhem! see Bacon's Abridgment, page ; but I wander. See," continued Roundjacket, "that is all that is left of the original." "Yes, sir," said Verty. "The very first line is unrecognizable." And Roundjacket put his handkerchief to his eyes and sniffled. Verty tried not to smile.
He held his breath during that pause beside the spy hole, a pause which lengthened alarmingly. Then his body jerked in answer to a sound a half second before he realized what manner of sound. The sentry had sneezed. He sniffled, too, loudly; then he went on to complete his beat. The blanket and the straw—they had worked! Drew pulled at the lariat, was answered by a return jerk.

There was one old ruffian who always sniffled and snuffled like a fat hog as he read, monopolizing my favorite newspaper.
Yes, indeed she is the precious and the youngest of seven. Charity, charity! In the name of God, charity!" she sniffled. Reluctantly Countess de Linieres stifled the impulse to mother this kindred and hapless young being, averred to be the beggar's daughter. She placed a golden louis on the palm of the singer, saying: "Give this to your mother, child."
"What's got into you, anyway?" she demanded, with a lame attempt at imperativeness. "Jes' figures. I've ben doin' a lot of figurin' this week, an' it's most surprisin'." "I don't see what that's got to do with it," she sniffled. Johnny smiled patiently, and his mother was aware of a distinct shock at the persistent absence of his peevishness and irritability.
