"Laundry," said Hippy solemnly, "I hope you never get caught in a burning house in the night. If you are, the house and yourself will be a heap of ashes in the cellar by the time you get awake." "Listen to him, will you, Nora Wingate," cackled Emma Dean hoarsely, for the chill of the mountain morning had gotten into her throat.
There were sounds which drowned them sounds which began with a fluttered outcry of alarm, which progressed to a great gasp of astonishment, which swelled and rippled into a titter, which grew into a vast rocking roar of unrestrained joyousness. Children shrieked, old women cackled, old men wheezed, adults guffawed, strong men rolled upon the earth in uncontrollable outbursts of thunderous mirth.
"Eh?" said the old lady. "I said: Isn't it very tiring?" "Not when I don't think about it, my dear." "What do you think about?" The old lady cackled gently. "Oh well!" she said. And Noel thought: 'It must be dreadful to grow old, and pass the time! She took up her father's letter, and bent it meditatively against her chin. He wanted her to pass the time not to live, not to enjoy!
Honeycutt cackled and rubbed his hands at the admission. "But I'm going to find out. So, probably, is Brodie. Now, look here, Honeycutt; I haven't come to browbeat you as Brodie did. I am for making you a straight business proposition. If you know anything, I stand ready to buy your knowledge. In cold, hard cash." "No man ain't got the money not enough not any Morgan or Rock'feller "
Thus they sat within the rude shelter of boughs and skins, smoking and talking while the naked braves passed outside eying them through the doorway with sharp sidelong glances, and lean withered squaws cackled all day long among the vermin-ridden lodges about them.
"I've a good mind to take you to the police, and then you'd be forced to say what you know," said Miss Greeby crossly, for the vague hints irritated her not a little. The old woman cackled in evident enjoyment. "Do that, and the pot will boil over, ma'am. I wish to help the angel rani who nursed me when I was sick, and I have debts to pay to Chaldea. Both I do in my own witchly way."
And I, too, tottered as I walked, so that the guards helped to lead me across that sun-blinding patch of yard. And Skysail Jack and I peered and knew each other under the wreckage. Men such as he are privileged, even in a prison, so that he dared an infraction of the rules by speaking to me in a cracked and quavering voice. "You're a good one, Standing," he cackled. "You never squealed."
What is the staple export of the Argentine!" "How often have you been there?" demanded the detective dryly. "Six times." "And you've lived there?" This to Winter. "Yes," glowered the big man, fearing the worst. "Then the answer is 'fools," cackled Furneaux. Wally laughed.
The monster was put to rout, the champion dragged out of the pond, breathlessly explaining that he only wanted to look at the goslings when the stupid geese cackled and the gander wanted to fly at his eyes. "And I didn't see where I was going, for I had to keep him off, so I got into the mud.
"Well, dear, dear Flaps!" they all cackled as he came trotting up, "where is our new home, and what is it like?" "Will there be plenty to eat?" asked the cocks with one crow. "Plenty," replied Flaps. "Shall we be safe from mice, owls, wild beasts, and wild men?" cried the hens. "You will," answered Flaps. "Is it far, dear Flaps?"
