When I wants a baf I'se gwine to take dat baf in a tub, an' when yo' ain't around," answered Aleck. "Yo' am Oh wough!" And then the colored man retreated in great haste, for Tom had sent up a shower of water all over him. "Here comes a big river boat!" cried Songbird, presently. "Let us go out and catch the rollers!"
"Bedad," said Nogher, "that fellow 'ill be the flower o' the Donovans, if God spares him be goxty, I'll engage he'll give the purty girls many a sore heart yet he'll play the dickens wid 'em, or I'm not here a wough! do you hear how the young rogue gives tongue at that? the sorra one o' the shaver but knows what I'm savin'."
Thinking it all over this past week, I got to wondering if oil might not just possibly be what we ought to look for. I was so doubtful I didn't say anything about it.

An old trapper, from whom I occasionally bought fur, was toiling up a mountain pass when he spied a big bear sitting on his haunches on the hill-side above. The trapper shouted and waved his cap; whereupon, to his amazement, the bear uttered a loud "wough" and charged straight down on him only to fall a victim to misplaced boldness.

Denzil Ardayre could not get any more leave for a considerable time and remained quartered in the North, where he played cricket and polo to his heart's content, but the head of the family and his charming wife went through the feverish season of 1914 in the town house in Brook Street.
"Bow, wow, wuff!" chanted Rover, singing his portion of the refrain in deep bass notes that produced a hollow echo through the waiting-room, making the noise seem to proceed from twenty dogs instead of one. "Wough!" Nor was Rover long content merely to take part in a musical performance only.

On one occasion Muriel, exhilarated by the keen, life-giving air, ran gaily on ahead of the others in a wood and came on a tiger enjoying its midday siesta. But the striped brute only uttered a startled "Wough! Wough!" like a big dog and dashed away through the undergrowth.
A startled roar from the beast told that it was hit; but it bounded in a flash across the ravine and up the steep bank on their side not forty yards from them.
