"Well, give the young lady my best regards and er I wish you luck. Thanks for dropping in to tell me." "Not at all," says Waddy, drapin' himself easy on a chair. "But that's just the beginning." "Sorry, Waddy," says Mr. Robert, "but I fear I am too busy just now to " "Bah!" snorts Waddy. "You can attend to business any time tomorrow, next week, next month.
"Jus' what I'm wonderin'." Kirby came to a complete halt. "I came back a little while ago, and nobody's seen him." Drew pulled in beside the other. His horse's head hung low as the gelding blew in gusty snorts. He tried to remember when he had seen Boyd last and when he did, that memory was not too encouraging. "With Hilders ... and Cambridge ..." he said softly. "Yeah."
Tom on the light pony headed him off again and again, and by dint of driving, threatening, and maneuvering, contrived to force his foaming, crazy captive northward toward the Pinavetitos Canyon. But the wild horse would not drive, would not give in. With snorts of terror or of rage and maddest bounds, he tried and tried to get away.
Naturally I makes a grab for it. "Don't!" gasps Piddie. "It it might be a bomb." "Yes," says I, "it might. But it looks to me more like a golf ball." "What?" says Old Hickory. "Golf ball! How could it be?" "I don't know, sir," says I, modest as usual. "Let's see," says he. I hands it over. He takes a glance at it and snorts out: "Impossible, but quite true. It is a golf ball.

A deadened burst of mighty splashes and snorts reached us from afar, as though an ichthyosaurus had been taking a bath of glitter in the great river. 'After all, said the boiler-maker in a reasonable tone, 'why shouldn't we get the rivets? Why not, indeed! I did not know of any reason why we shouldn't. 'They'll come in three weeks, I said confidently. "But they didn't.
They were none too soon as it was, for the tent swayed, then lurched to the right, collapsing over the heads of the Meadow-Brook Girls amid the continued snorts of horses near at hand, accompanied by the sound of beating hoofs and the shouts of the two men at the other side of the camp.
Old Tom's ugly, little crooked form sprang from the pit to complete the mastering of the great glorious creature whose mighty strength had proved as nothing when matched with the wits of a little old man. With snorts and desperate bounds of awful force the great beast dashed and struggled to be free; but all in vain. The rope was strong.
The nasal concert continued, and the chairman smote his hand-bell. "Firs' bell," murmured Tinkleby drowsily, "stop working;" while Dorris became suddenly afflicted with a catch in his breath which caused a succession of terrific snorts, each of which nearly cracked the windows. "Here, stop that noise!" cried Redbrook, springing to his feet in great wrath. "Wake 'em up, somebody!"
The spacious and impressive lounging-rooms were but sparsely tenanted, other than by the ennuied corps of servants; and the few members who had lent the open doors the excuse of their presence were of the elderly type that hides itself behind a newspaper in an easy chair and snorts when addressed. When the former was brought him, he sat up and began to take a new interest in life.
For a few seconds, indeed, in sheer desperation he succeeded in withstanding his heavier and more powerful foe.
