We'll wait!" The Adam's-apple rose and fell in the throat of Haw-Haw. "We'll wait," he nodded, and he burst into the harsh, unhuman laughter which had given him his name. This is the letter which Swinnerton Loughburne received over the signature of Doctor Randall Byrne.
There was something so appealing in the pressure of her soft chin as it held the violin in place against her round, girlish throat that Gaites felt a lump in his own larger than his Adam's-apple would account for to the spectator; the delicately arched wrist of the hand that held the bow, and the rhythmical curve and flow of her arm in playing, were means of the spell which wove itself about him, and left him, as it were, bound hand and foot.
Brewster swallowed a few more times, Archie the while watching with a frozen fascination the rapid shimmying of his new relative's Adam's-apple. "Go away! I want to have a few words alone with this This WASSYOURDAMNAME?" he demanded, in an overwrought manner, addressing Archie for the first time. "I told you, father. It's Moom." "Moom?" "It's spelt M-o-f-f-a-m, but pronounced Moom."
"What do you stick to that for?" "Because," Hastings declared, "I'm ready to swear-and-cross-my-heart he lied when he said he ran that four miles. I'm ready to swear he was here when the murder was done. When a man's got as good an alibi as he said he had, his adam's-apple don't play 'Yankee Doodle' on his windpipe." "Is that so!" "It is and here's another thing: when's Mrs.
He was a slender young man in hot black clothes; he wore the unfacaded collar fatally and unanimously adopted by all adam's-apple men of morals; he was washed, fair, flat-skulled, clean-minded, and industrious; and the only noise of any kind he ever made in the world was on Sunday. "Prashus joowuls, sweet joowuls, thee jams off iz crowowun," sang the little voices feebly.
And having taken some time to turn the suggestion over, while One-Eye watched her, and Johnnie mentally made up a long list of possible gifts, "I'd like very much," she faltered, "if I could have a nice doll." What was there about the request that seemed to stagger One-Eye? Looking at him, Johnnie saw that big Adam's-apple move convulsively, while the green eye swam, and the lantern jaw fell.
Another flash-like glance up through the steel-rimmed spectacles. Mr. Burrus appeared to be weighing his words. "No," he considered, "it weren't that." He drummed with his fingers on the glass counter. "He was drunk," he snapped out, and stared sternly off into space. And then as if he felt it becoming of him, he frowned and his adam's-apple moved up and down with quick, spasmodic jerks.
Bicky's Adam's-apple jumped about a bit; then he started: "You see, you had cut off my allowance, uncle, and I wanted a bit of money to start a chicken farm. I mean to say it's an absolute cert if you once get a bit of capital. You buy a hen, and it lays an egg every day of the week, and you sell the eggs, say, seven for twenty-five cents. "Keep of hens cost nothing. Profit practically "
I'm very anxious to find him, Cap'n," the contributor, of course, had no claim to the title with which he was thus decorated, "for I've a daughter living with him, and I want to see her; I've just got home from a two years' voyage, and" there was a struggle of the Adam's-apple in the man's gaunt throat "I find she's about all there is left of my family." How complex is every human motive!
The tall, gaunt figure of Haw-Haw Langley came on tiptoe from behind, beheld the dead face, and grinned; a nervous convulsion sent a long ripple through his body, and his Adam's-apple rose and fell.
