Why, there's the mark of his big foot on the moss close by. Why doesn't she see it and follow? Cheep, cheep." "Cluck, cluck, whirr, whillahu," sang the other bird. "Human beings are too stupid." Poor stupid Louisa, her eyes blurred with tears, did not heed the birds' songs or understand those plain directions for finding Archie which they were so ready to give.
"It is for that very reason, fair lord, that he can be of greater service than any other man," Simon answered; "for it often happens that when a man has lost a sense the good God will strengthen those that remain. Hence it is that Andreas has such ears that he can hear the sap in the trees or the cheep of the mouse in its burrow. He has come to help us to find the tunnel."
Here is a mouthful of bread, the sacred food. It represents a certain number of grains of wheat which asked only to sprout, to turn green in the sun, to shoot up into tall stalks crowned with ears. They died that we might live. Here are some eggs. Left undisturbed with the Hen, they would have emitted the Chickens' gentle cheep. They died that we might live. Here is beef, mutton, poultry.
"I, Master Mungo! Faith, not I!" Mungo looked incredulous. "And what ails the ladyship, for she kent? I'll swear she kent the next day, though I took guid care no' to say cheep." "I daresay you are mistaken there, my good Mungo." "Mistaken! No me! It wasna a' thegither in a tantrum o' an ordinar' kind she broke her tryst wi' him the very nicht efter ye left for the inns doon by.
Awaking quietly, he heard a little cheep; he opened his eyes, and lo! upon his breviary, which was on a low stool near his feet, ruffling all his feathers with a single pull, and smoothing them as suddenly, and cocking his bill this way and that with a vast display of cunning purely imaginary, perched a robin redbreast. Clement held his breath.
The noise of the canvas on high resembled the stirring of pinions, and the cheep of a block, the grind of a parrel, helped the illusion, as though the sounds were the voices of huge birds restlessly beating their pinions aloft. Presently the man at the wheel startled me with an observation. I went to him, and he pointed upward with a long, shadowy arm.
Pitifully did the little ones cheep as the snake swallowed them all, and pitifully cried the mother as she fluttered over her nestlings. But of her, too, did the snake lay hold, coiling himself round her and crushing her life out. Then did the god who sent this sign show us that a sign from the gods in truth it was, for he turned the snake into stone.
The cheep of the tackle-blocks could be heard as she was hoisted up, and that ended the incident for the night.
A delicate, graceful creature, nice in its habits, with a plaintive call like the cheep of a chicken; preferring ripe bananas and pine-apple, but consenting to nibble at other fruits, as well as grain. The mother carries her young crouched on her haunches, clinging to her fur apparently with teeth as well as claws, and she manages to scuttle along fairly fast, in spite of her encumbrances.
"So now let us mount, my boy," said he, and we shoved along until the evening fell, and the sun bid us good by very abruptly. "Cheep, Cheep," sung the lizards "chirp, chirp," sung the crickets, "snore, snore," moaned the tree toad and it was night.
