Almost before her twinkling feet had carried her to the centre of the stage an ominous sound broke the silence of expectation. A hiss came from one of the boxes; it was repeated from another, and another. The sibilant sound spread round the house; it swelled into a sinister storm of hisses and boos.
Lacy's prayer had saved them all, he being a Protestant clergyman, and therefore better qualified to avert imminent death than a priest of Rome. Sukie and Sally de Boos mixed the grog, took it on deck, and served it out to the men at the pumps. The carpenter sounded the well, and as he drew up the iron rod, the second mate gave a shout. "Only seven inches, captain." "Right, my boy.
He prophesied truly, for the violence of the gale decreased rapidly, and when at the end of an hour the pumps sucked, the crew gave a cheer, and tired out as they were, eagerly sprang aloft to repair damages and then spread more sail, Sarah and Susan de Boos hauling and pulling at the running gear from the deck below.
They sat at friendly tables for eight, choosing places by lot. Babbitt was with Albert Boos the merchant tailor, Hector Seybolt of the Little Sweetheart Condensed Milk Company, Emil Wengert the jeweler, Professor Pumphrey of the Riteway Business College, Dr. Walter Gorbutt, Roy Teegarten the photographer, and Ben Berkey the photo-engraver.
At the village of Berg in Weingarten, they set up in the holy of holies the image of the devil, which they had taken from the representation of the temptation of the Saviour in the wilderness. In the village of Boos, they roasted a crucifix before a fire." Vide Hurter's Memorabilia, concerning the French allies in Swabia, who attempted to found an Alemannic Republic. Schaffhausen, 1840.

He says, 'Try my sneeshin. Sneeshin's Scotch for snuff. He boos till he's nearly double when uncle Northlake speaks to him. Boos is Scotch for bows. He skirls on the pipes skirls means screeches.
The corn boos doon afore ye like the stooks to Joseph." "I hae a guid arm an' a sharp scythe, my lord," answered Cosmo cheerily. "Whisht, whisht, my lord!" said Grizzle. "Gien the corn hear ye, it'll stan' up again an' cry out. Hearken til 't." The morning had been very still, but that moment a gust of wind came and set all the corn rustling. "What! YOU here!

In a voice of thunder he banged his mighty fist upon the table and said scornfully, "Bring me that little boot!" The distinguished company stared at him in great astonishment, but Boos of Waldeck, taking the boot in his sturdy fist, cried out. "Your health, my lords!" Then flourishing it in the air, he emptied the boot at one draught.
The four ladies, with Mina, knelt, and then the good old man prayed fervently for a few minutes. Then Sukie de Boos and her sister flung their arms around Mrs. Lacy, and kissed her, and even Miss Weidermann, now thoroughly unstrung, began to cry hysterically. She had at first detested Mrs. Lacy as being altogether too scandalously young and pretty for a clergyman's wife.
