"Oh, they are birds!" chirped little Tad, who was perched on the back of a chair, with his cap on the side of his head. This produced a general laugh, and Parker said: "Speaking of birds makes me think that riches hath wings. I dropped seventy-five in that little game last night." Punch Swallows groaned in a heartrending way. "That's nothing," he said, dolefully.
"Yes isn't it awful?" stammered little Eve Edgarton. Imperiously her father turned back to the telephone. Ting-a-ling ling ling ling, chirped the bell right in his face. As if he were fairly trying to bite the transmitter, he thrust his lips and teeth into the mouth-piece. "My daughter," he enunciated with extreme distinctness, "is feeling quite exhausted exhausted this afternoon.
Until at last they got so jumbled together, in the hurry-skurry, helter-skelter, of the match, that whether the kettle chirped and the Cricket hummed, or the Cricket chirped and the kettle hummed, or they both chirped and both hummed, it would have taken a clearer head than yours or mine to have decided with anything like certainty.
Alloway an' Kate had gone in the house, where they lit up the lamps. I heard Kate's high voice, but Alloway never chirped. He's not the talkin' kind, an' he's damn dangerous when he's thet way. Bland asked me some questions right from the shoulder. I was ready for them, an' I swore the moon was green cheese. He was satisfied. Bland always trusted me, an' liked me, too, I reckon.
Then I chirped up an' said I felt a heap better and that wasn't no lie which I suppose was on account o' the relief to my mind, which it always did seem to me capsules was jest constructed to lodge in a person's air-passages. Jest lookin' at a box of 'em'll make me low-sperited.

The birds chirped and pecked above our heads. Angel asked: "Did you do much cobbling in the van, Mr. Martindale?" "Ay, cobbling and tinkering too. The forest birds liked to hear me just the same as those canaries. Especially the tinkering. They'd crowd about and sing fit to burst their throats wood-thrushes, finches, and all sorts.
She had some doubts of transferring a cage with two canaries into Caroline's room also; but when she approached the cage with that intention, the birds chirped so merrily, and seemed so glad to see her, and so expectant of sugar, that her heart smote her for her meditated desertion and ingratitude.
"Ask her up," chirped "Tinky" Clifford. But at this moment the door opened against the Chinaman, and a small figure in a cloak and hat, dripping with raindrops, glided swiftly in. After a moment's half-frightened, half-admiring glance at the party, she darted forward with a little cry and threw her wet arms round the colonel.
Outside they could hear the jingle of bridle-chains; and then a voice begin; but they could not distinguish the words. It was Ralph speaking; but they could only guess what it was that he was saying. Overhead the autumn sky was a vault of pale blue; and a bird or two chirped briskly from the roof opposite. The voice outside grew louder, and ceased, and the noise of horse hoofs broke out.
