Part of the time I sniveled and part of the time Allie sniveled, and once or twice we were all three all balled up in our throats.
"Well, let me cry!" sniveled Patricia. "I've never given myself that luxury, either." For a moment there was silence broken only by Patricia's sniffs. Then: "What do your folks say about it, Joan?" "I haven't sent the big letter yet it's written. I don't want them to say anything until I'm fixed. I only told them of our leaving New York." "Whew!" ejaculated Patricia.
She went on, gloomily: "You used to fish sometimes with a Yankee recruit named Allen Roy Allen?" "Ye-s'm," he sniveled. "There's my fish-pole an' his'n layin' onto the roof " "How did he hail you when he wanted you to come across to take him fishing?" "He jest come down to the shore an' hollered twicet " She bent closer, scanning his dilated eyes; speech died on his lips.
Marty'll have the place an' all you kin save, when we are gone; but that dear little thing Givin' her money to that blind child, and all " Mrs. Day broke down and "sniveled." At least, that is what her husband would have called it under some circumstances, and crying did not beautify Mrs. Day's fat face.
In five minutes the wall of up-standing, on-struggling Indians had been changed to heaps of fallen ones that moaned and gibbered in the snow, and cried and sniveled as their staring, swimming eyes focused on the grub that meant life to them and that brought the slaver to their lips. And behind it all arose the wailing of the women and children. "Shut up! Oh, shut up!"
I remember I sniveled a little at being taken at my word, but it served me right for saying one thing when I meant another. However, it don't matter now.
Fouchard's manner was expressive of virtuous indignation. "What, my cattle diseased! why, there's no better meat in all the country; a sick woman might feed on it to build her up!" And he whined and sniveled, thumping himself on the chest and calling God to witness he was an honest man; he would cut off his right hand rather than sell bad meat.
I put my hand on my throbbing shoulder, and stared at him incredulously. "You don't need to look at me like that," he sniveled. "Didn't I stand by Bill Hayden to the last along with you? Ain't I human? Ain't I got as much appreciation as any man of what it means to have a murderin' pair of officers like Captain Falk and Mr. Kipping?
She promptly laid her head on Jake Wilkes' shoulder and sniveled. Nor was it until he turned his head and fumbled out awkward words of consolation to her, that the reek of stale rye warned her of her mistake, and she promptly came to and looked for her husband to finish it out on. Annie Gay wept happy tears, and laughed and cried joyously.
You never could gamble if it had a cold in the head or a mortal pain in its vitals. It wus kind o' passionate in some of its keys, and wep' an' sniveled like a spanked kid in others. Then it would yep like a hound if you happened to push the wrong button, an' groan to beat the band if you didn't. Nope.
