He leaned forward and began to draw a catchy breath like a man who is poised on the very edge of a sob. Then first it came to my mind that I had heard much of the hard-drinking life of the island, and that from brandy came those wild words and fevered hands. The flushed cheek and the glazing eye were those of one whose drink is strong upon him.
We were present on Sunday at the services. There was hearty singing of "Pentecostal" hymns with catchy refrains, but we were compelled to notice again what we had noticed amongst the little bands of these people on the Koyukuk when we set them to singing, that the English was unintelligible; and since it conveyed no meaning to us could have had little for them.
Paul, Karen, and I had stayed up late that night trying to come up with a catchy name for his proposed software company. Furthermore, we had meditated together, we had maintained something of a meditative consciousness, and we had tried to *see* which city we were supposed to move to. In the past when Rama contradicted the facts, I had assumed that he was right while my *seeing* was wrong.
And her last words in his ear, words uttered softly with a catchy sob in the throat that was nothing more nor less than a love cry, were "Bill . . . dear, dear Bill."

Joe, unconscious of her gaze, was bending over the little blue flowers, and humming an air which the children had learned a few days before. "That tune is so catchy I can't get it out of my mind," he remarked to Will. Suddenly Ellen started up.
We preachers have got to come off our pedestals and not give our hearers what we want, but the thing that will catch them. If a pretty, catchy Sankey hymn will attract a crowd, why shouldn’t we use it instead of an anthem? If a brass band will catch them, why shouldn’t we play it instead of an organ?
"Ah, yes! h'm things that have been played at the big Festivals composers of prestige quite a different thing, sir, quite a different thing. There's no sale for these things none at all, sir public never heard of you. Now, if you were to write some songs nice catchy tunes high class, you know, with pretty words "
All the incidents are treated not only with seriousness, but with a forced drollery and catchy superficiality which reflect unfavorably at almost every point upon the members of his household, who are caricatured; all the precious associations of early life on a New England farm are not only made absurd, but from beginning to end his book has not a scintilla of instruction or suggestion for those that are interested in child life.
"The music is in the living room. I'll go and get it." "It's the 'Gypsy Trail, a bright, catchy thing," he heard her saying to the others as he passed out.
