"Well, we, I say, 'we, for Blue was some as good as a man any day; I could talk to her, and she'd turn her head as if she understood me. Mules are knowing critters next to human. At a sharp corner Blue snorted, and turned her head, but couldn't go back.
He wore a red cloak ornamented with the pa kua; his horse snorted flames from its nostrils and fire darted from its hoofs. While fighting in the service of the son of the tyrant emperor, Lo Hsüan suddenly changed himself into a giant with three heads and six arms. In each of his hands he held a magic weapon.
Electric current was obtained from a dynamo bolted on to the step of a twenty-horse-power car, and driven by a belt from the flywheel of the engine. The car stood out in the courtyard and snorted away, whilst we worked in the storeroom alongside. The coil and mercury break were combined in one piece, and the whole apparatus was skilfully contrived with a view to portability.
Hi!" as the captain stepped to the stairs, "don't say nothin' about me." Daniel, suppressing a grin, shouted up the stairs. "Zuba!" he called. "Zuba, come down here a minute." Azuba answered, but in no complacent tone. "Don't bother me, Cap'n Dott," she protested. "I'm late as 'tis." "Just a minute, Zuba, that's all. One minute, please." Mr. Ginn snorted at the "please."
"By the Blue Gums of the Back Blocks," snorted the troop-horse, "do you mean to say that you aren't taught to be bridle-wise in your business? How can you do anything, unless you can spin round at once when the rein is pressed on your neck? It means life or death to your man, and of course that's life and death to you.
Her voice seemed woven of the silk threads she was stitching in the white pattern. "If I am not a member of the church, sitting an hour in the building couldn't make me one." Simon Jefferson cried out, "Is that my sister Lucy? Blessed if I thought she had so much spirit!" "Do you call that spirit?" returned Gregory, with displeasure. "Well!" snorted Simon, "what do you call it, then?"
The old fellow flounced off the sofa and stood bulging his eyes at DeGolyer. "Don't you ever say such a thing as that again!" he snorted. "Why, confound your hide! would you have that boy dead?" DeGolyer threw down his pen. "No, I would have him live forever in his thoughtless and beautiful paradise; I would not pull him down to the thoughtful man's hell of self-communion."
Waring knocked loudly on Salazar's door and called his name. Then he turned and ran to the corner, dodged round it, and crept along the breast-high adobe wall. He whistled again. A rope snapped, and there came the sound of quick trampling. A rush and the great, tawny shape of Dexter reared in the moonlight and swept over the wall. With head up, the horse snorted a challenge. Waring called softly.
"Sure I'm satisfied," snorted Haney. "I don't want to hit him any more. I got enough of that!" Braun panted: "Okay! Okay!" The Chief let him get to his feet. He went groggily to his coat. He tried to put himself into it. Mike caught Joe's eye and nodded meaningfully. Joe helped Braun into the coat. There was silence, save for Braun's heavy, labored breathing. He moved unsteadily toward the door.
Having a clear conscience and a fine appetite, in spite of the potency of her tea Mrs. Gammit slept soundly. Nevertheless, along toward dawn, in that hour when dream and fact confuse themselves, her nightcapped ears became aware of a strange sound in the yard. She snorted impatiently and sat up in bed. Could some beneficent creature of the night be out there sawing wood for her?
