The corporal rose on his feet and shook himself like an elephant. "Dat tog is de tyfel's imp, and dat's de end on it," said he, with alarm still painted on his countenance. "And is he really on board again?" inquired Coble, doubtingly. "As sartin as I stands on this here forecastle a-kissing and slobbering the lieutenant for all the world like a Christian," replied Smallbones, despondingly.
Betty, said he, 'I fancied before somebody was coming upstairs, but it was not so; however, adds he, 'if they find me in the room with you, they shan't catch me a-kissing of you. I told him I did not know who should be coming upstairs, for I believed there was nobody in the house but the cook and the other maid, and they never came up those stairs.

The same instant the Greek wayfarer uttered a loud cry, and pitching his long hat into the air, rushed towards the slave-girl, and flinging himself down on his knees before her fell a-kissing, again and again, her hands and arms, and at last her pale face also, while the girl flung herself upon his shoulder and embraced the fellow's neck; and then the pair of them began to weep, and the words, "My daughter!"
"They have been a-kissing," whispered Betty, seriously, leaning towards me and speaking behind her hand. "No, no, Betty," I answered, trying to keep a straight face. But she nodded insistently, evidently much surprised and perhaps a little shocked. By the time Betty and I had concluded this interchange of ideas, Hamilton and Frances were by my side.
"Then it is an ill saying for us," said Gudruda, laying her hand upon her breast. "Saying good or ill, so it surely is, girl," answered Asmund. "No more shalt thou go a-kissing, in the snow or in the flowers." "Now I seem to hear Swanhild's voice," she said. "Well, such things have happened to better folk, and a father's wish is to a maid what the wind is to the grass.
My word! there's nothing to come anigh her ever I saw! And there she was, a-kissing our little Dolly, like e'er a one of us!" "What do you make out her name to be?" said Mr. Jerry.

The doctor grabbed his emergency grip and departed on the run for the Hat Ranch. Sam Singer met him half-way with the velocipede. O'Rourke returned to the Silver Dollar saloon where, since he was a vulgarian and a numbskull, he retailed his story to the loungers there assembled. "I'll never git over the sight o' that girl a-kissing that young feller" he concluded.
Gibbs frantically slapped his hands; and Miss Harris, bending over him, rendered first aid by kissing him wildly. Captain Gibbs pushed her away. "He won't come round while you're a-kissing of him," he cried, roughly. To his indignant surprise the drowned man opened one eye and winked acquiescence. The skipper dropped his arms by his side and stared at him stupidly.
He nodded and strolled away, a comical figure in his mud-crusted boots, his strap-tied corduroys and his almond-coloured skin. "Well, then, you've taken Elias," said the mother, passing her hand round her daughter's waist. "I seed him a-kissing your flower. Well, I'm sorry for Adam, for he is a well-grown young man, a proper young man, blue ribbon, with money in the Post Office.
