At dark the festivities closed with a display of fireworks; there were rockets and bombs and pin-wheels; and the boys had tiny red and blue lights which they held until their fingers were burned, just as boys do in America; and there was a general hush of wonder as a particularly brilliant rocket swished into the dark sky; and when it burst into a rain of serpents, the crowd breathed out its delight in a long-drawn "Ah-h-h-h!" just as the crowd does everywhere.
Magdalen, I stopped short ere I reached his door, though, as you saw, he strove to hale me up to it. And then ah-h-h-h!" she shivered and chattered like one in an ague-fit. "What is it?" cried Alleyne, looking about in alarm. "Nothing, friend, nothing! I was but thinking how I bit into his hand. Sooner would I bite living toad or poisoned snake. Oh, I shall loathe my lips forever!
The little maidens whom poor parentage has doomed to sit upon street door-sills and nurse their infant brothers have a game of "choosing" the beautiful ladies who sweep by along the pavement; but in Rue Royale there was no choosing; every little damsel must own Madame Délicieuse or nobody, and as that richly adorned and regal favorite of old General Villivicencio came along they would lift their big, bold eyes away up to her face and pour forth their admiration in a universal "Ah-h-h-h!"
"Ah-h-h-h, ye-e-e-e-s." You turn over in despair. "Come, come, love. I got everything ready last night; now you must, my dear; do you want to miss him? There, up, I say; it's broad daylight." Caroline throws off the blankets and gets up: she wants to show you that she can rise without making a fuss.
It is simply atrocious of Marie to go away, leave her to do all this mischief, and then expect me to put up with it! My pipe, my one comfort! Ah-h-h-h! if only I could box her ears and stop her from grinning away as if she had done a clever thing!" It was at this moment that Marie returned, carrying in her arms a cabbage.
"Ah-h-h-gh !" growled the Armenians, but she waved them back to silence. "How much food have you? Almost none! How much ammunition?" "Ah-h-h-h!" they chorused in a very different tone of voice. "D'you mean you've got cartridges here?" Fred demanded. "Fifty cases of cartridges for government Mauser rifles!" bragged the man who was nearest to Will. "Gee! Kagig 'ud give his eyes for them!"
And he was so delicate, too, you really couldn't have wished it. He had your father's constitution. And if you'd tried to teach him anything, he'd just have got water on the brain. Ah-h-h-h! Depend upon it, it'll bring you and Nevill closer together." A white rosebud, dropped on the back seat, marked the place where the coffin had rested. Mrs. Nevill Tyson picked it up and crushed it in her hand.
I was busily engaged in writing my notes of the day, with my rifle by my side, when suddenly a shot rang out, followed by another and another, then a volley from all the sentries on one side of the camp, and the darkness was lit up by the flashes of their rifles. Then came the thrilling war-cry, "Ooh-h-h-h! ah-h-h-h!" that made one's blood run cold, especially under such surroundings.
Come, Brisket, will you jump with me into yonder river? The first that reaches the further side, let him have her!" And he pointed up Bishopsgate Street towards the Thames. "Perhaps you can swim?" said Brisket. "Not a stroke!" said Robinson. "Then what a jolly pair of fools we should be!" "Ah-h-h-h! That's the way to try a man's metal!"
I 'ave de righd to wadge dad man wad mague rimark aboud me dotter." "I never did no such a thing." "You did." "I never did no such a thing." "Bud you 'ave jus hacknowledge' " "I never did no such a thing, I tell ye, and the man that's told ye so is a liur!" "Ah-h-h-h!" said the old man, wagging his finger "Ah-h-h-h!
