In the morning the modest ground-larks cheeped softly among the rough grasses on the low hills, while the proud heaven-scaler the lordly kinsman of the ground-lark filled the sky with his lovely clamour.
Boots cheeped unseen in the arches, sibilant whispers smote the silence, pew-doors creaked, and from far corners of the church violent coughing sounded with muffled reverberations. Mary Lou would have slipped into the very last pew, but Virginia led the way up up up in the darkness, nearer and nearer the altar, with its winking red light, and genuflected before one of the very first pews.

"Our men can't get on another inch," he ventured to say to his commander. "Wouldn't it be well for me to ride up and say a cheering word?"

And at that minute something in the basket cheeped.
He sent his compliments up to the attic, however, by Leeby, and would I come and be a witness? Gavin came up and explained. He had taken off his scarf and thrust it into his pocket, lest the rain should take the colour out of it. His boots cheeped, and his shoulders had risen to his ears. He stood steaming before my fire.

Every time the mother bird brought them a moth or worm they raised a chorus of yells; and when she flew away, they cheeped for her to come back again. "The student-fellow shut his window, but it did not keep out the noise.
His round black eyes were constantly turned toward the world beyond the window. He perked his head inquiringly, and cheeped. Now and then, with a wild beating of his pinions, he sprang sidewise to the shining bars of the cage, and hung there, panting.
