"Ha, ha, ha!" cackled the old witch-lady, still nodding her high head-dress at the minister. "Well, well! we must needs talk thus in the daytime! You carry it off like an old hand! But at midnight, and in the forest, we shall have other talk together!"
And as the new moon was now approaching, when we apprehended violent gales, the Commodore, for our greater security, ordered that part of the cables next to the anchors to be armed with the chains of the fire-grapnels, and they were besides cackled twenty fathoms from the anchors and seven fathoms from the service, with a good rounding of a 4 1/2 inch hawser, and to all these precautions we added that of lowering the main and fore yards close down, that in case of blowing weather the wind might have less power upon the ship to make her ride a-strain.
When the body and the head came close together, the head leaped on to the body, and the goose stood up on its legs and cackled. Then a goose of another kind called khetâa was brought to Teta, and he did with it as he had done with the other goose.
The old gentleman who, like Garnett, was an American, and spoke in the thin rarefied voice which seems best fitted to emit sententious truths, twisted his lean neck toward the younger man and cackled out shrewdly: "Ah, it's generally a woman who is at the bottom of the unexpected.
Apostleman cackled delightedly; no one else stirred. "'She got very little of Frothingham's money," Barry presently read on, "it came to him from his first wife, who was a widow with two daughters when he married her. The money naturally reverted to her girls, Mrs. Fred Senior and Mrs. Spencer Mack, both of this city." "Ha! D'ye get that?" said Mrs. Apostleman. "Go on!"
"Ah, ha!" cackled the count behind his back, "so we have got as far as that already, eh! Capital, capital, upon my word! Nay, nay, my young friend, don't be afraid of me. Do not put yourself out in the least on my account! God bless you, my boy!"
"There's that girl again!" Milt Baker screwed his neck around for a look. "See who's come!" he cackled. "I bet it's one o' them moving picture actresses." Lawford cast on the ribald Milt a somewhat angry glance. Yet he did not speak again for a moment. "Tidy craft," grunted Cap'n Joab, eying the young woman who was approaching the store along the white road.
Icy drops were on his chilled brow. How had Hearts on Fire gone wrong? Then they were in the great open spaces of the Come All Ye dance hall. There was the young actor in his Buck Benson costume, protecting his mother from the brutality of a Mexican, getting his man later by firing directly into a mirror Baird had said it would come right in the exposure, but it hadn't. And the witless cackled.
Ducks quacked, hens cackled, pigeons perched about on the roofs kept up a monotonous murmur; then came the deep undertones of the patient cows, and as you neared the house you could generally hear Mrs Hatchard's voice in her dairy adding its commanding accents to the medley of sounds.
The chapter was where Zacharias climbed into a sycamore tree to see his passing Lord. There was a rattling of the stove pipe in one corner. "Maw," whispered Miss Butts, "Jes' look at Archie B. he's climbin' the stove pipe like Zacharias did the sycamo'." Horror again swept over Cottontown, while the Hillites cackled aloud.
