'It will be just like Duncan Mac-Girdie's mare, said Evan, 'if your ladyships please; he wanted to use her by degrees to live without meat, and just as he had put her on a straw a day, the poor thing died! Evan's illustration set the company a-laughing, and the discourse took a different turn. Shortly afterwards the party broke up, and Edward returned home, musing on what Flora had said.
Matthew xix. 29. All who were at the inquisitor's table fell a-laughing; but the latter, feeling the hit at the broth-swilling hypocrisy of himself and his brethren, was mightily incensed, and but that he had gotten blame for that which he had already done, he would have saddled him with another prosecution, for that with a laughable speech he had rebuked him and his brother good-for-noughts; wherefore, of his despite, he bade him thenceforward do what most pleased him and not come before him again."

To his surprise she burst out a-laughing, and, spurring her palfrey, dashed off down the glade, with her page riding behind her.

'There's that other one a-laughing again, said Mr Jonas; 'she's a-laughing at my father, I shouldn't wonder. If he puts on that old flannel nightcap of his, I don't know what she'll do! Is that my father a-snoring, Pecksniff? 'Yes, Mr Jonas. 'Tread upon his foot, will you be so good? said the young gentleman. 'The foot next you's the gouty one.

There was Tom, with a nose as large as three, a huge cheek on one side, and the whole head swinging round like a harlequin's; while I, with one eye closed, and the other like a half-shut cockle-shell, looked scarcely less rueful.
The listening soldier fixed in sorrow stands, Loth to obey his leader's just commands. The leader grieves, by generous pity swayed, To see his just commands so well obeyed;" by this time wine and friendship had brought poor Dick to a perfectly maudlin state, and he hiccupped out the last line with a tenderness that set one of his auditors a-laughing.
When all the Moors are in solemn vacant thought, or brooding over their griefs, or dreaming in broad day of their being marabouts or sultans, the poor witless thing runs in amongst them, shaking hands with the first he meets with, and bursts out a-laughing. He usually succeeds in infusing a little of his cheerfulness into these equally mad people, but more sober in their method of madness.

After having asked him his name, his first names, and his age, M. Galpin said, "What do you know?" The young man straightened himself, and with a marvellously conceited air, which set all the peasants a-laughing, he replied, "I was out that night on some little private business of my own. I was on the other side of the chateau of Boiscoran.
Yours to command, SOLOMON SPRENT." Sir Gervas had been chuckling to himself during the reading of this epistle, but at the last part we both broke out a-laughing.
