"Have you been lugged up again before the chief?" she asked. "Oh, yes. Often ... hee-hee ..." "What for?" "Because the other day I started to shout in the street: 'Bargains! Who'll buy Sagasta's umbrella, Kruger's hat, the Pope's urinal, a syringe lost by a nun while she was talking with the sacristan! ..." El Conejo trumpeted this at the top of his lungs and Justa held her sides with laughter.
"I cannot," interrupted the captain then choked at a mental vision of Mrs. Pudge, who scorned such frivolous inventions as whalebone to support the figure then trumpeted behind his handkerchief, ending in that combined half-snort, half-giggle which is so disastrous to dignity and complexion, "I cannot allow the the er form of the Company's stewardesses to be so discussed."
We can smell things a long way off, and when you are older you will get to know the difference between the sweet roots, under the ground, and the man- smell, which means danger. "Tusker smelled the man-smell, even though he could not see the white and black hunters, and then he trumpeted through his trunk to tell us all to run away," said Mrs. Stumptail.
For the moment the words struck the captain white and foolish. "My God!" he cried, looking at Herrick as upon a ghost; "my God, Herrick!" "Look behind you, then!" reiterated the assailant. The wretched man, already partly sobered, did as he was told, and in the same breath of time leaped to his feet. "Down staysail!" he trumpeted.
Isna she bonny, Malkie? Isna hers a winsome shape an' a lauchin' ee? Didna she draw ye on, an' luik i' the hawk's een o' ye, an' lay herself oot afore ye, an' ?" "She did naething o' the sort, ye ill tongued wuman!" said Malcolm in anger. "Ho! ho!" trumpeted Mrs Catanach. "Ill tongued, am I? An' what neist?"
Stately and aloof among vainglorious tiring-maids, a queen in robes that murmured on the marble floor, she trod the gallery of a crumbling palace.

And then, with dark came the stinging slap of rain upon the windows, and pressed Jack's loneliness deep into the soul of him.
They were all in their shirt-sleeves for the sake of the coolness, and they banged and trumpeted and fluted away as indifferent to her as so many born brothers.
"Good!" trumpeted the tame elephant, whose name was Dunda. "My brother from the jungle is wise." So Tum Tum had no more chains put on his legs or back, and those that were on him, with the ropes, were taken off. "So we are not to try to break from the trap?" asked Whoo-ee.
