"Good-bye, and good luck to you!" called Tubekins; but no one thought to reply, because just then the dragon slid his great body into the Tube and the journey to the other side of the world had begun. At first they went so fast that they could scarcely catch their breaths, but presently Quox slowed up and said with a sort of cackling laugh: "My scales! but that is some tumble.
"Superb!" was all I could ejaculate, staring at the azure splendor of that miraculous jewel in a sort of trance. She gave a shrill cackling laugh of mockery. "The great Mr. Acton taken in by a bit of Palais Royal gimcrackery! What an advertisement for Bogaerts et Cie! They are perfect artists in frauds. Don't you remember their stand at the first Paris Exhibition?
Two hens fly out of the window, and cackling at the top of their voices, flutter down the village street. "Alyosha, we've made a mistake!" says Kozyavkin in a lachrymose voice. "There are a lot of hens here. . . . I must have mistaken the house. Confound you, you are all over the place, you cursed brutes!" "Well, then, make haste and come down. Do you hear? I am dying of thirst!"
When trumpets call nothing can hold thee, least of all thy slave, Sarah." "Wouldst them have me listen forever to the cackling of hens in the country?" interrupted the prince, now impatient.

"Why really, neighbour," said Peter, composing himself, "you must let a man laugh now and then." "Man!" said the Corporal; "man's a noble animal!
The lake in the distance was calm and unruffled; the birds were singing and chirping merrily in the woods; near the house the bright green of the herbage was studded with the soldiers, dressed in white, employed in various ways; the corn waved its yellow ears between the dark stumps of the trees in the cleared land; and the smoke from the chimney of the house mounted straight up in a column to the sky; the grunting of the pigs, and the cackling of the fowls, and the occasional bleating of the calves, responded to by the lowing of the cows, gave life and animation to the picture.
They all got together and began cackling like a lot of old hens when a hawk is after them. No one but themselves could understand a word they said; but they soon made a rush for Jack and demanded, in English, that he give up their money, or they would kill him.
"What is it?" replies Mitia, without moving his gaze from the distance, where be seems with his big sad eyes to be searching for something. "How did it happen, mate? How did it happen?" "What?" answers Mitia, displeased. "How did you come to marry? What a queer set out! How was it? You brought your wife home! and then? Ha! ha! ha!" "What are you cackling about?
I observed the starling a good deal after this, and found that invariably on leaving the nest, he uttered his imitation of a fowl cackling, and no other note or sound of any kind. It was as if he was not merely imitating a sound, but had seen a fowl leaving the nest and then cackling, and mimicked the whole proceeding, and had kept up the habit after the young were hatched.
