Indeed, The Hopper's spirits rose under his continued "goo-gooing" and chirruping. "Nice little Shaver!" he said, patting the child's knees. Little Shaver was so pleased by this friendly demonstration that he threw up his arms in an effort to embrace The Hopper. "Bil-lee," he gurgled delightedly.
Once only though the kneeling cost him torture, and the sweat came no less from anguish than from exertion did he pause and straighten himself up to listen. Upstairs the Penhaligon children had awakened with the daylight and were talking chirruping like sparrows before they left their beds Hey! now the day dawis; The joly cock crawis . . .
They passed her, talking and laughing, and went into one of the houses; and after that it seemed stiller than ever. Only a sparrow burst out into blithe chirruping notes, which had a strangely joyous ring in them. And here where she had expected greater pain her pain was healed.
Hearing my voice chant his favorite ditty, the poor little creature stirred in his crib, and his pale lips parted into a smile. Presently, in broken tones he asked, "Is that Miss Reef?" "Yes, Herbert, darling, I have come to sing to you," said I, mastering my emotions and chirruping more loudly his beloved song. The effect seemed truly magical he endeavored to raise up his little body.
Even the voice of the owner of the establishment, chirruping some idle song, as I told you, was one of the cheeriest sounds you ever heard. Joel, up at the barn, forgot his dignity to salute it with a prolonged "Hillo!" and presently appeared at the gate. "I'm late, Joel," said the weak voice. It sounded like a child's, near at hand.

She, however, yielded one of her bags, and he, though doubly laden, was happy. All very transparent to pastoral observation, but why should they not be left to their chirruping youthfulness?
The effect was pretty and graceful as they darted by or sailed slowly past, now nodding to an acquaintance, now chirruping and throwing soft baby talk to the muffled little ones they carried. Boys and girls were chasing each other and hiding behind the one-horse sleds that, loaded high with peat or timber, pursued their cautious way along the track marked out as "safe."
Amused comments flew to and fro: laughter and a babel of irresponsible chatter made an incessant chirruping accompaniment to the duologue between the two men. But at this stage, the Prince of Wales, who hitherto had seemingly kept aloof from the quarrel, suddenly stepped forward and abruptly interposed the weight of his authority and of his social position between the bickering adversaries.
In London one frequently hears, especially in the spring, half-a-dozen sparrows just met together in a garden tree, or among the ivy or creeper on a wall, burst out suddenly into a confused rapturous chorus of chirruping sounds, mingled with others of a finer quality, liquid and ringing.
The first birds of spring were flitting in the branches, chirruping and singing at the windows.
