Aunt Poll snuffled, and followed George to the door; Uncle Zekle drew himself up straight, and looked after him, his clear blue eyes sparkling with two rays, one of honest patriotic wrath, one of affection and regret for George; while Long, from the corner, eyed all with a serpent's wisdom in his gaze, oracularly uttering, as the door shut, "Well, that 'are feller is good grit!"
The dog on Gyp's feet stirred, snuffled, turned round, and fell heavily against her legs again. She said quietly: "I was hearing of Daisy only to-day. She's quite a star now, isn't she?" Mrs. Wagge sighed. Mr. Wagge looked away and answered: "It's a sore subject. There she is, making her forty and fifty pound a week, and run after in all the papers. She's a success no doubt about it.
"Won't I, though?" said Nancy grimly, "or the man of the devil either," she added, flashing at himself. "The woman's not to trust, sir," snuffled the constable. "She's only an infidel, anyway. I've heard tell of her saying she didn't believe the whale swallowed Jonah."
Never was such a campaign seen as this of Seckendorf in 1737, said mankind. Except indeed that the present one, Campaign of 1738, in those parts, under a different hand, is still worse; and the Campaign of 1739, under still a different, will be worst of all! "Hmph!" snuffled he; with brow blushing slate-color, I should think, and gray eyes much alight.
He had a good slice of luck, Jack Mooney was telling me, over that boxingmatch Myler Keogh won again that soldier in the Portobello barracks. By God, he had the little kipper down in the county Carlow he was telling me... Hope that dewdrop doesn't come down into his glass. No, snuffled it up. For near a month, man, before it came off. Sucking duck eggs by God till further orders.
They nearly all snuffled and whined as they spoke; some had a soft, lazy nasal; others broke abruptly from silence to silence, in voices of nervous sharpness, like the cry or the bleat of an animal; one young girl, who was quite pretty, had a high, hoarse voice, like a gander. Lemuel did not mind all this; he talked through his nose too; and he accepted Mrs.
Without wasting a moment Lady Casterley leaned forward and addressed the bull: "You awful brute!" she said; "I will have you well flogged." Gently pawing the ground, the bull snuffled. "Are you any the worse, child?" "Not a scrap," said Barbara's serene, still breathless voice. Lady Casterley put up her hands, and took the girl's face between them. "What legs you have!" she said. "Give me a kiss!"
Where from?" She explained in a few rapid words, and asked: "Did they take the other comrades, too?" "They weren't there. They had gone off to be recruited. Five were captured, including Rybin." He snuffled and said, smiling: "And I was left over. I guess they're looking for me. Let them look. I'm not going back there again, not for anything.
"If Jack should learn that I am here " She could not express the horror of it. "Oh, ma'am!" Mrs. De Peyster's voice rang out with wild desperation. "Matilda, there is only one thing to do! We must leave the house!" "I think we'd better, ma'am," Matilda snuffled hysterically, "for with all of you here, and this keeping up, I I don't think I'd last a day, ma'am." "And we must leave at once!
I held him firmly by the head and soothed him with encouraging words. The old horse snuffled between gratitude and disgust, and Carette clung tightly up above, and vowed that she would not cross on Black Boy whatever Torode might say.
