"Oh, mercy, monsieur!" panted the fellow wailingly. "I have had much plenty to last me all my life." "I wish I knew whether ye was lyin'," muttered Hickey, thoughtfully. "I don't feel a bit tired, yet. Do you, Jerry?" "Me? The exercise has warmed me up fine," grinned the smaller sailor.
It whistled loudly as if calling, calling, calling! Was it the wind or his heart? Was it his Mother Nature, his Guardian Angel, or God? Again pitifully, distinctly, wailingly, came the cry of the child. He raised his head, grasped the reins and hurried. On he went, on and on, faster and faster, until at last he came to the door of the tomb. He descended into it.
Let 'em sow their wild oats, they're all the sooner over it!" So Susan did not regard this phase of his nature very seriously. Indeed his mother often said wailingly that, if Kenneth could only find some "fine girl," and settle down, he would be the steadiest and best fellow in the world. It was Mrs. Saunders who elucidated the last details of a certain episode of Kenneth's early life for Susan.
He talks about his American girl, with millions, who's so awfully taken with him, but I can't find out anything about her: the only one, just now, that people seem to have heard of is the one Booby Manger's engaged to. The Mangers literally snap up everything," Mrs. Brook quite wailingly now continued: "the Jew man, so gigantically rich who is he?
And the Centaur was with him still, it seemed, for there were the creature's hoofs, but all the gold had been washed or rubbed away from them in traveling with Jurgen. "See, Nessus!"

You thought to hide your secret, if you enveloped it in the veil of night, like your Geraldine, who, as you wailingly complain in that poem there, never shows herself to you without a veil as black as night. Just wait, wait!
Quaint and almost profane as this usage sounds to modern ears, I think their instinct was right: they addressed God in the highest and most reverential terms they knew. "When the shore is won at last, Who will count the billows past?" Keble. It was winter again; and the winds blew harshly and wailingly around the Castle of Arundel.
"Cooky!" echoes Sheila, pounding on the kitchen table with the rescued basting spoon. "You can't have cookies before dinner. They're bad for your insides." "Can too," disputes Hans. "Fwieda dives us tookies. Want tooky!" wailingly. "Please, ple-e-e-ease, Auntie Dawnie dearie," wheedles Sheila, wriggling her soft little fingers in my hand.
She was weeping bitterly, raising her hands wailingly above her head and wringing them, as she walked with a slow and serious step to the castle-building. The servants fled from the spring; the bride, pale and stiff with horror, stood at the window with her attendants.
But storm clouds often coalesced around her diurnal sunsets on the beach before dissipating into the desert city's heat, seagulls seemed to have a wailingly ominous sotto voce as they spiraled about in the winds, and her thoughts dwelled on this Berlin wall which sliced through the Mexican-American shore.
