"All right," said he, resignedly.
I'll up and I'll grin if you tickle my chin, And I'll sneeze if you tickle my nose; I'll up and I'll cry if you tickle my eye But I'll squeal if you tickle my toes! Oh, grin with your chinnery in, And sneeze with your nosery oze, And cry with your wipery eye, But please don't tickle my toes! I'll grin and I'll sneeze, I'll cry and I'll squeal, And scare you with ouches! and ohs!
Took me some time to raise anybody, and when a girl does answer all I gets out of her is a squeal and the door is slammed shut again. I was backin' off disgusted when here comes this dame with the big eyes and the grand duchess airs. "'Ah le bon Dieu! says she gaspy. 'Le soldat d'Amerique! Entrez, m'sieur. And say, even if I couldn't have savvied a word, that smile would have been enough.
It is her duty to see that no spoon is lost, and not an orange or banana wasted, and her mournful eyes are fixed with the intensity of despair upon the incompetent waiters, who, when hard pressed by wild shouts from American officers, frantic for lack of proper nourishment, fall into a panic and dance and squeal at each other; and then the woman of fixed sorrow, her left shoulder thin and copper-colored, thrust from her low-necked dress, her right shoulder protected, is in the midst of the pack, with a gliding bound and the ferocity of a cat, the sadness of her face taking on a tinge of long-suffering rage.
I'm so fidgety I must talk or I'll shriek." "Well, you'll shut up just the same. Do you hear me?" I shut up, but my teeth chattered so that Tom stopped at the gate. "Look here, Nance, are you going to flunk? Say it now yes or no." That made me mad. "Tom Dorgan," I said, "I'll bet your own teeth chattered the first time you went in for a thing like this. I'm all right. You'll squeal before I do."
Pat could do it beautifully, and he had taught her too, but she could not always manage very well. If you caught a girl from above, she would be startled out of her wits, and squeal like anything. It would be splendid fun. The next one, then, who came upstairs! The girls were divided between horror and delight. Dared she? Really! Would it hurt? What would Miss Phipps say?
"Ha!" he exclaimed to himself, in a way pigs have, "why didn't I think of that before? I must squeal for help. My mamma, or papa, may hear me and come for me." Then Squinty happened to think that the hole, by which he had gotten out of the pen, was not large enough for his fat papa or mamma to crawl through. "No, they can't get out to come for me," Squinty thought.
Kedzie was enfranchised and began to jump and squeal at the almost suffocating majesty. Adna took to himself the credit for everything. "Well, momma, here we are in New York at last. Here we are, daughter. You got your wish." Kedzie nearly broke his neck with her hug, and called him the best father that ever was. And she meant it at the moment, for the moment. Mrs.
From my bearing and the place where I had concealed myself, he knew at once, I suppose, that I had been watching him, for, turning with a swift motion, he plunged into the shrubs and evergreens behind him. That the thing was as frightened as a rabbit, there can be no doubt; the single little cry it gave forth was not a scream. You would have called it a squeal!
Them odds and ends have got their little old secret, and they think there ain't anybody can pull it; but, land! when he sets his grip there they've got to squeal, and don't you forget it." "Boys, I ain't sorry, now, that he wasn't here to roust out the child; this is a bigger thing, by a long sight. Yes, sir, and more tangled up and scientific and intellectual."
