Duncan of Knock, whose ideas were somewhat conglomerated, and who, it may be believed, was no great scholar, catching up some imperfect sound of the words, conceived the speaker was drawing a parallel between the Duke and Sir Donald Gorme of Sleat; and being of opinion that such comparison was odious, snorted thrice, and prepared himself to be in a passion.
Geoffrey sat in the sunlight on the gunwale of a fishing-boat. "You can't do that," he said. "Oh, Geoffrey, I was afraid you'd say it, and you have," said his friend, half laughing. "Why not?" "Your career, old chap." "My career," snorted Reggie, "protocol, protocol and protocol. I am fed up with that, anyway.
Beaton snorted some sort of inarticulate salutation, which Dryfoos did not try to return; he asked if he could see him alone for a minute or two, and Beaton bade him come in, and swept some paint-blotched rags from the chair which he told him to take.
"Because a man buncoes a loving father out of five thousand dollars," Average Jones snorted gently, "is no reason why he should unanimously elect himself a life member of the Sons of Idleness," murmured Bertram.
"He'd try to push back a stampede by main strength if he reckoned it was his duty. It's his good luck that he wasn't killed long ago I'd 'a' been." "They're a bunch of cowards," replied Johnny.

Dobbin, little accustomed to such exertions, snorted, panted, and trotted as briskly as he could, until at length he brought his rider before the entrance-gate of his father's ancient seat. The moon was now rising, but the portal was hidden from its beams, being situated, as we have mentioned elsewhere, in a deep recess betwixt two large flanking towers.
So it happened that I came on him unaware. Nevertheless, I was surprised that his ears should not detect my footfall. The horse, six feet below us, was aware of me first and snorted, yet Ranjoor Singh did not turn his head. "Sahib!" said I; but he did not move. "Sahib!"

And when they emerged upon the broad avenue leading through the villa quarter, the sleek pair snorted with enjoyment of the pure, delicate air from the gardens, and the immovable one indulged, without any sort of necessity, in three masterly cracks of his whip. Mrs. Warden, too, was conscious of the delight of finding herself once more in the fresh air.
Childe Harold, lifting his head from his cropping of the grass, looked after the violently jerking figures and snorted slightly, snuffing with dilated red nostrils.
