Fairfield exclaimed in amazement. "That little house?" he said. "Oh, I see; that's the chicken-coop you spoke of. Well, where is the house?" "This is the house," said Laura; "but, somehow, it does look smaller than usual; still, it's a great deal bigger inside." "No doubt," said Frank. "I've often noticed that the inside of a house is much larger than the outside.
Now that crib no not loose! Get that strap around it; do ye want to have to pick it up before ye get half-way to the tunnel? Hurry up, John, dear! Hold on give me the other handle of that look at it now, big as a chicken-coop! Them Fifth Avenue ladies will be livin' in these things if they keep on."

"Toddie," said I, "go throw Jonah into the chicken-coop, and I'll give you some candy." "Me too," shouted Budge, "cos I found the mouse for him."
He was in his study writing his sermon, and he came out, and if I hadn't hid behind the chicken-coop and then run I couldn't have got here. But I can't see as you've got any corn, Johnny Trumbull."

Then they found Mademoiselle, who, with Kathleen's assistance, was putting a new tire on one wheel of the truck. They found Louise mending a chicken-coop, and Mary and Martha sorting supplies in the storeroom.
The consequence was, that all day long, and all through the night, scores of the emigrants went about the decks, seeking what they might devour. They plundered the chicken-coop; and disguising the fowls, cooked them at the public galley.
The chicken-coop door had been accidentally left open and Belton, unthinkingly, jumped into the chicken house. The chickens set up a lively cackle, much to his chagrin. He grasped an old rooster to stop him, but missing the rooster's throat, the rooster gave the alarm all the more vociferously. Teachers had now crowded to the window and were peering out.
Hingston with the solemnity of a cashier, then read the proceeds of the lecture: "Three cows, one with horns, and two without, but not a stumptail; fourteen pigs, alive and grunting; seventeen hams, sugar cured; three babies in arms, two of them cutting their teeth, and the other sickening with the chicken-coop, or some such disease."
