"What in the world did you say to each other, my dear, good Monsieur?" said the wife. "Why, he's crazy!" "He sold me two casks of wine." "Did you buy them?" "Yes." "But that is his delusion; he thinks he sells his wine, and he hasn't any." "Ha!" snorted the traveller, "then I'll go straight to Monsieur Vernier and thank him."
Once a gasoline launch deep-laden with Sunday-starched Americans, snorted by, bound likewise to Fort Lorenzo at the river's mouth; and we lay back in our soft, rumpled khaki and drowsily smiled our sympathy after them. When they had drawn on out of earshot life began to return to the banks and nature again took possession of the scene.
The captured horse was then brought forward. He was prodigiously large, and black as jet. His eyes were fierce and flashing, his neck proudly arched, and he wore a glittering war-saddle upon his back.

The shoulders of the ex-football captain rose aggressively; he snorted with indignation. "And why should I not get married?" he demanded. "You're a fine one to talk!
When she appeared, Mavis put authority into her voice as she said: "Can I see anyone here?" "If you've any eyes in your 'ead," snorted the servant, as she disappeared from view. Still no one came. Mavis was making up her mind to explore the downstair regions when the footfalls of the rude person were heard coming down.
"Melba in disguise?" mocked Elinor gayly. "Stuff!" snorted Griffin, impatiently. "Her family comes from Rockham, and her grandmother used to live at Greycroft. She's going out to see the place when it gets warmer. I didn't tell her you lived there now, for I didn't know whether you'd want " "Lands to goodness, I believe I've seen her!" exclaimed Miss Jinny.
