It was sealed in black wax with a serpent's head, and from the condition of the outside had evidently been in places both greasy and grimy.
The mighty smith was by this time examining the hoofs of the Earl's charger one by one with such instinctive delicacy of touch that Darnaway felt the kindly intent, and, bending his neck about, blew and snuffled into the armourer's tangled mat of crisp grey hair.
"You look damn smiling yourself!" snuffled Will. "I will when we turn in at the gates," retorted his Captain. "On my soul, I swear I'll kill every sniffling idiot that doesn't!

"I never did like too much exclusiveness. What's the use of bottling oneself up? that's what I always say. Besides, there's no charity in it.

Tough old Hatch snuffled audibly, and Brady could hardly speak. "Come, come, lad," he cried huskily, "you mustn't keep us longer!" Jack unclasped the girl's hands and suffered himself to be led away by his comrades.
He puddled about in the water endlessly. Snorted and splashed and puffed and snuffled and blew.
