The ship next behind us went after something; and the ship next ahead went tearing away after something else, and another ship but, man, a battalion of eyes could not follow them all. A destroyer went zizz-sh zizz a thirty-odd knot clip and the next thing we saw was a ten-foot column of solid white water shooting straight up beside that destroyer. And then came the terrific Bo-o-om!
And if Sara had loved Avrillia the day before, she could simply find no words now to express her adoration. And when she smiled at her, her eyes were hardly at all wild, but quite playful and gentle; and so sweet that Sara, for a moment, had a dizzy conviction that if she were a Zizz she would fly right into them.
'Scornful dogs will eat dirty puddings, cousin Crosbie ye little ken what some of your friends were obliged to do yon time for a sowp of brose, or a bit of bannock. G d, I carried a cutler's wheel for several weeks, partly for need, and partly for disguise there I went bizz bizz whizz zizz, at every auld wife's door; and if ever you want your shears sharpened, Mrs.
Deeply read up, Tartarin would graciously furnish the particulars desired, and, in the end, the good fellow was not quite sure himself about not having gone to Shanghai, so that, after relating for the hundredth time how the Tartars came down on the trading post, it would most naturally happen him to add: "Then I made my men take up arms and hoist the consular flag, and zizz! phit! bang! out of the windows upon the Tartars."
Sara stood as still as she could, for the tickling. "What is it?" she ventured to ask, tremulously. "It's a Zizz, dear," said the Plynck, soothingly. "He flew into your dimple and got stuck in the sugar left there from your last smile. You should have wiped it off," she added, very gently. "Standing so close to the pool has made it sticky, and now the poor little Zizz "
It is thought that the vibrations are felt rather than heard, in the sense that we use the word "hear"; if one has ever had a cicada zizz in one's hand, the electrical shocks which seem to go up the arm help the belief in this idea. To many of us the song of the cicada softened by distance will ever be pleasant on account of its associations.
Heating with his own recital, he would rise from table, bounding to the middle of the dining-room, imitating the roar of a lion and the going off of a rifle crack! bang! the zizz of the explosive bullet gesticulating and roaring about till he had overset the chairs.
In Tartarin's mouth, the title of Merchant Prince thundered out as something stunning! The house of Garcio-Camus had the further advantage of sometimes being favoured with a call from the Tartars. Then the doors would be slammed shut, all the clerks flew to arms, up ran the consular flag, and zizz! phit! bang! out of the windows upon the Tartars.
Ferrars had taken the moan of an imprisoned house-dog for the nightingale, which he disdainfully imitated with buzz, zizz, and guggle, assuring her she had had no loss; but he looked rather white and chilled. Sophy whispered something to her papa, who rang the bell, and ordered in wine and hot water.
It fanned its wings as furiously as a Zizz; it was as wild as a moon-moth in a net, or a bird you hold in your hand. And all the time, it was about to die with amusement. They all gathered around to see what a darling little thing it was. Even Schlorge admired it openly; and the Snimmy's wife said grudgingly, "It sure is pretty." As for the Snimmy, he buried his face in his hands.
