An officer of the State of Texas, under arms, has crossed the Rio Grande. What does that mean?" Captain Evans had a sense of humor; Longorio's ominous words amused him. "Say, general, it ain't the first time," he chortled. "And you're an officer, too, ain't you? You're in Texas at this minute, and I'll bet if I frisked you I'd find that you was under arms."
From the end of the tube emanated a purplish light. "You were clever, my good young friends," he chortled, "to think of fighting with your hands, but you were not quite quick enough. Not to-day goes anyone in my cruiser! What do you think of the enervating ray, heh? Ingenious, not? Ludwig Leider discovered it. I am Ludwig Leider.
St. George had put his foot on one ancient beast. Wasn't it possible to tame this one, to tame all modern dragons, put a bit in their mouths and harness them to good nation building? "Girt round with mine enemies, Miss Eleanor," he laughed, "and I slay them with the jaw bone of an ass." The white waist-coat chortled; and she laughed.
And the Night People held high carnival under the yellow moon, and there was flight and terror and slaughter in the glow of it and Jolly Roger slept, and the wolf howled nearer, and the creek chortled its incessant song of running water, and in the end Peter's eyes closed, and a red-eyed ermine peeped over the sill into the man-and dog-scented stillness of the outlaw's cabin.
"Just thought we'd come around and have supper with you, E , and maybe dinner tomorrow if you'll let us," my brother chortled. "Merry Christmas, you know. Christmas Eve. The good old home stuff see? Old sport here and I thought we couldn't stay away tonight, anyhow."
The Sculptor Girl fairly chortled her glee when she came back from Manhattan after a walk down the avenue and brought an amusing census of the shops that sold "Mademoiselle Folly" novelties! "Lordy," she related to the Architect's wife, who couldn't even go into the garden these days, "When I think of it I could shout! The toy shops have battledores and shuttlecocks!

"But don't you think that everyone ought to try to enlarge one's field of vision?" At that Mr. Briggs threw back his head and laughed a laugh of unrestrained delight.

"But isn't it a stroke of luck," he said, "that they should have gone and tarred Sir Eustace again so soon after Moriarty and I did it?" Clowes said gravely that it only showed the force of good example. "Yes. They wouldn't have thought of it, if it hadn't been for us," chortled O'Hara.
