"A-ah!" said Nello, with a low long-drawn intonation, as he looked up towards the advancing figure a round-headed, round-bodied personage, seated on a raw young horse, which held its nose out with an air of threatening obstinacy, and by a constant effort to back and go off in an oblique line showed free views about authority very much in advance of the age.
More and more often in the midst of the monotonous chirruping there comes the sound of the "A-ah, a-ah!" of astonishment troubling the motionless air, and the cry of a sleepless or delirious bird.
He left the dormitory, and Mike began to brood over his wrongs once more. Wyatt came back, brandishing a jug of water and a glass. "Oh, for a beaker full of the warm south, full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene! Have you ever tasted Hippocrene, young Jackson? Rather like ginger-beer, with a dash of raspberry-vinegar. Very heady. Failing that, water will do. A-ah!"
There's one book on squirrels uncle keeps as a curiosity, to show how little the writer knew about them. And the pictures are no more like squirrels than than they are like me." "A-ah," said the listener, again. "That explains." "I don't know what you mean. No matter. It's the old stupidity, I suppose. How did you get lost?" "The same prevailing stupidity," he laughed.
"That gurrl," Mike blurted abruptly while he cracked his knuckles, "she'd better look out!" "A-ah," retorted Murphy scornfully, "belike ye'd better tell her so thin. Or belike ye better set yerself t' look out fer the gurrl I dunno." "Oh, I'll look out fer her," Mike gobbled, nodding his head mysteriously. "I bin lookin' out fer her all the time but she ain't as cute as what she thinks she is.
"A-ah, an' it's the trail to Minnesota, then," he commented disgustedly, nodding his head derisively. "Umm-hmm it's back in Minnesota ye're wanderin' befuddled with yer sphies. So l'ave Minnesota wance more, Mike, an' put some beans a-soakin' like I explained t' ye forty-wan times a're'dy. My gorry, they're like bullets the way ye bile them fer an hour and ask that I eat thim.
"He has told me to my intense astonishment that I have become shipmates with a round hundred or so of consummate idiots leaving the women and children out of the question," I answered sharply. "A-ah!" returned the boatswain, with a sorrowful shake of the head. "I felt, somehow, as you wouldn't see the thing as we sees it.
Presently he opened his eyes very wide and a long-drawn "A-ah!" came from his mouth. Then he sprang to his feet and cried out, but only as if uttering a thought aloud to himself, the strange word: "Batholite!"
"They's no gold there, where we're diggin', I know there's no gold! They's no sign of gold. They can dig a hunnerd feet down, an' they won't find no gold! Why, in Minnesota, that time " "A-ah, now, le's have none av Minnesota," Murphy broke in upon Mike's gobbling no other word expresses Mike's manner of speech, or comes anywhere near to giving any idea of his mushy mouthing of words.
Then the one with a round face sitting on the left saucily shot back: "A-ah say, that's a locust, a-ah ." "Shut up. They're the same thing. In the first place, what do you mean by answering your teacher 'A-ah say'? Ah-Say or Ah-Sing is a Chink's name!" For this counter-shot, he answered: "A-ah say and Ah-Sing is different, A-ah say." They never got rid of "A-ah say."
