"Welt, ez I wuz a-sayin'," he continued to Dudley, resuming his seat, "our cabins hed dirt floors, an' the walls warn't chinked; an' ez fur winder glass, why, bless yer soul, we hardly knowed thar wuz sich a thing. The only cheers we had wuz stools made o' slabs sot on three laigs.
Big tears coursed down her cheeks and fell onto her bread. She still ate, gluttonously devouring this bread thus moistened by her tears, and breathing very hard all the while. Goujet compelled her to drink to prevent her from stifling, and her glass chinked, as it were, against her teeth. "Will you have some more bread?" he asked in an undertone.
As soon as Leopold had landed his passengers, and securely moored the sloop, he hastened, before going to the hotel, to the shop of his uncle. Without any explanation, he dropped upon the watch-maker's counter the shot-bag, in which the gold chinked as it fell, to the intense astonishment of Herr Schlager.
The two faces are tied together by extra long stones which occasionally project into the back of one or the other face. The stones composing the walls are smaller than those in the main cluster and more uniform in size, and the interstices are carefully chinked.

She hardly made a sound with foot or dress; but as she drew the chain tight it chinked against the hook, and the officer heard her. "Ha!" he shouted, with his face to the broken glass. "I see you there. Open this door, or "

I'm on the north side, you know, and my old claim on the south side will do just right for my brother Ben; he's coming out in the fall. Now if you want to go up our way, you can have the cabin on that claim. There's nobody living in it. It's no great of a cabin, but it's built of hewed timber, well chinked and comfortable-like.
The guarded spot seemed an island in a sea of vapor and spring night was bringing darkness upon it. The stockade inclosed a single building of rough logs clumsily put together, and chinked with the hard red soil. An unhewn wall divided the house into two rooms, and in one room were gathered less than a dozen men-at-arms.
Log walls snugly chinked, and log rafters boarded and sodded; two windows, "lazy" windows we maligned them, because they lay down instead of standing, one sash above the other, and opened by sliding past each other.
