The quorum confirmed the statement. Patsy wrinkled up a perplexed forehead. "That's odd. You see, he should have been here last night, to-day at the latest. I had it from somebody who knew, that he was coming to Arden." "Mebby he was," drawled the storekeeper, while the quorum cackled in appreciation; "but this here is a good seven miles from Arden."
That's good enough fer me, plenty good fer me," Pop cackled, and trotted off to find someone who had little enough faith in Smoky to wager a two-to-one against him. It seemed to Bud that the crowd was larger than that of a week ago, and there was no doubt whatever that the betting was more feverish, and that Jeff meant that day to retrieve his losses.
I asked if Ellinor O'Donoghoe was at home; but the dog barked, the geese cackled, the turkeys gobbled, and the beggars begged, with one accord, so loudly, that there was no chance of my being heard.
He knew that he was compromising himself forever, but for the life of him he could not help it his lip trembled, he tried to control it but failed, he chuckled, giggled, cackled, and burst into a roar of laughter. It was no use to think of punishment after that.
This amused the company very much, but they were even more pleased when Polychrome, whose hunger had been easily satisfied, rose from the table and performed her graceful and bewildering Rainbow Dance for them. When it was ended, the people clapped their hands and the animals clapped their paws, while Billina cackled and the Donkey King brayed approval.

"Have it your own way! Have it your own way!" she cackled. "Tell you what I'll do; if I can't expose that trick in ten minutes, I'll make you a present of a hundred gavvos."
He'd been leanin' on his cane lookin' out o' the door at Elnora's twins playin' on the grass, and all at once he says, says he, 'Jane, do you ricollect the time they had the big babtizin' down at Kittle Creek? And he got to laughin', and I got to laughin', and we set there and cackled like a pair o' old fools, and nobody but us two seein' anything funny about it."
Then a simple joy broke over his face a flickering sunbeam among his wrinkles as he heard the laughter of the little girl, who was running rampant with a kitten in the kitchen. "Pansie! Pansie!" cackled he, "grandpapa has sent away the ugly man now. Come, let us have a frolic in the garden."
The Sergeant was ahead of the half-company, speaking to the officer in charge. It was the Corporal who answered, across the man who marched upon the left of W. Keyse: "O' course it was. But you 'ad the Dopper fust, and," he cackled quietly, "the Colonel won't be jealous." The eyes and mouth of W. Keyse became circular. "The who?" "The Colonel, didn't you 'ear me say?" "That wasn't never ... 'im"?
"Not for a few minutes," Margaret returned gravely, looking at Penrod. "Come upstairs, mamma; I want to tell you something." Penrod cackled hoarse triumph and defiance. "Go on! Tell! What 'I care? You try to poison a person in church again, and then laugh in his face, you'll see what you get!"
