You could carve him to pieces without hearing a cheep, if he decided to keep his mouth shut. And he's about as dangerous a man in a scrimmage as I know. If there's a row, don't overlook Mr. Gregory." We hoofed it toward camp as briskly as our galled feet would permit, for the sun was getting close to the sky line, and talked over Mac's scheme as we went.
While a sperm whale every now and then rose between us and the islands, and spouted up a high double jet into the air, like a blast of steam, and then, with a heavy flounder of his broad tail, slowly sank again; and a boat here and there glided athwart the scene, and a sleepy sail arose with a slow motion and a fitful rattle, and a greasy cheep, on the mast of some vessel, getting all ready to weigh, while small floating trails of blue smoke were streaming away astern from the tiny cabooses of the craft at anchor, and a mournful distant "yo heave oh" came booming past us on the light air, and the everlasting tinkle of the convent bells sounded cheerily, and the lowing of the kine around us called up old associations in my bosom, as I looked forth on the glorious spectacle from beneath a magnificent bower of orange trees and shaddocks, while all manner of wild flowers blossomed and bloomed around us.
They watched it in silence as it rapidly approached. "Great Scott, it's big!" muttered the Big Business Man in an undertone. As the bird came closer they saw it was fully fifty feet across the wings. It was flying straight down the valley at tremendous speed. When it was nearly opposite them they heard a familiar "cheep, cheep," come echoing across the valley.
"Noo we've tae begin, an' we 'ill no be dune for an' oor, and ye've tae lay on withoot stoppin' till a' come for ye, an' a'll shut the door tae haud in the noise, an' keep yir dog beside ye, for there maunna be a cheep aboot the hoose for Annie's sake." "A'll dae onythingye want me, but if if "
"Cheep! cheep!" went the monkeys, as if highly pleased. "You're right, they are cheap," grinned Tom. "Hope you like the flavor." The monkeys began to eat ravenously, for they were nearly starved. But they had not swallowed many mouthfuls before they noticed something wrong. Then one threw his bun at Tom in a rage.
The wind had gone down with the sun, and the world was enfolded in a delicious peace. The lake was like a polished floor. Above the tree-tops behind him the sky was still bright, while over across the water sat Night in robes, awaiting her cue. On the island there was not a cheep nor a flutter to break the spell. Sam wondered idly what had aroused him.
I thoucht I was ower mony for her than: I wonner she daur be at me again." "She 's daurt her God er' noo, an' may weel daur you. But what says yer gran'father till 't, no?" "He hasna hard a chuckie's cheep o' 't." "What are we haverin' at than! Canna he sattle the maitter aff han'?" Miss Horn eyed him keenly as she spoke.
Dyckman was in the depths of the blues, and a note to the effect that he had been suspended from his club, to await action looking toward his expulsion, left him quite alone in the world. In such a mood Kedzie Thropp called him up, with a cheery hail that rejoiced him like the first cheep of the first robin after a miserable winter.
When she speaks to me about him her face is lighted up like a day in spring, and I dare not say cheep to shatter her illusion." Gilian, alas! knew how little these old men now cared for him. The Cornal had long since ceased his stories; the Paymaster, coming in from his meridian in the Sergeant More, would pass him on the stair with as little notice as if he were a stranger in the street.
The air is full of the rattle of the cicada, which is like the sound of a loud cricket, or the 'r r' of a corncraik's note going on for ever and ever; and the house lizard in the church goes cheep cheep cheep every now and then. No one pays any attention to its loud sweet note. Rather pretty Eurasian girls play the organ and sing, and look through their fingers as they pray.
