Naturally you leave the official, completely relieved, thinking yourself virtually free. But the moment you cross the boundary into another Army Corps you are held up. The official demands to know why you are walking about a free man. You flourish the "pass" signed by "A" in triumph, and with a chortle, point to the signature.
And thus the town heard Watts McHurdie's song of triumph the chortle that every male creature of the human kind instinctively lets out when he has found favour in some woman's eyes, that men have let out since Lemech sang of victory over the young man to Adah and Zillah! And in all the town no one knew what it meant. For the accordion is not essentially an instrument of passion.
What are they?" he said again, saluting in the direction of the exploded shell. "But nothing! But something to snap one's fingers at! To laugh at! To chortle over! Something to avoid, though, my Henri and my Jules! Not that a man is so careful of his body in these days.
"Where am I?" he asked himself absurdly, as if it could be anything other than that same room at the guest house in Nongkhai. "What happened to me?" he asked with feigned innocence which caused him to chortle and spray saliva that was like the froth of a wave upon a breaker, the cluster of rocks that was his smile.
I talk a good deal of Wagner in parlor and drawing room, and speak of the gorgeous fabrics he wove on his wondrous loom, the fabrics of sound and beauty, the wonderful scroll of tone, and say that this mighty genius remains in a class alone. I whistle "The Pilgrims' Chorus," and chortle of "Lohengrin," and say that all other music is merely a venial sin.
He leaned forward, and watched Newman with hawklike intensity. But Newman gave him little cause to chortle; his head dropped again upon his breast, and he gave no sound, no movement. "Why don't you call on God?" asked Swope. "Why don't you call on me?" Newman lifted his head. "You degenerate beast!" he said.
He made many new and rather queer words; but they expressed so well the meaning he gave to them that some of them have become quite common. This writer generally made these curious words out of two others. It means "to go galloping in triumph." Another of Lewis Carroll's words, chortle, is even more used. It was probably made out of the words chuckle and snort.
He dragged out a small canvas bag from beneath the blankets and gestured toward the two lurkers in the corner. "Take it, and be damned to you!" A dirty, yellow hand seized the bag; there was a chortle of exultation, and the two scurried out of the room. "Three weeks they've watched an' waited for me to go out, Pierre.
You'll swaller them words when I git to ye, young feller and you'll swaller 'em mighty dang quick, now I'm tellin' ye!" He went off down the gulch to the sand bank. The Happy Family, sprawled at ease in the shade, took cigarettes from their lips that they might chortle their amusement at the two.
"I might" with the emission of an obscure, self-conscious sound between a chortle and a gasp, instantly suppressed "I might write." "Do, by all means," said Stephen. "We shall follow your course with the greatest interest," added Medora. Almost forthwith began the receipt of newspapers indifferently printed sheets from minor cities scattered across Indiana and Ohio.
