And in the joy of triumph Peter let out a yelp. In that night-infested place, alive with hiding things, the yelp set loose weird rustlings in the tangled treetops, strange murmurings of chortling voices, and the nasty snapping of beaks that held in them the power to rend Peter's skinny body into a hundred bits.
The chortling truck gasped at the curves and tugged on the straightaway, but Robert Fairchild had ceased to hear.
I'm so sorry for poor Mr. van Buren. What do you suppose he answered when I asked him that question about being jealous of you that rather naughty question? He said, 'Would to Heaven she were his, not mine!" Had I been on St. Lawrence's gridiron, I could not have helped chortling. "I'm not at all sure she isn't," I muttered, under my breath; but Phyllis caught the words.
Crouching there in the shadow, with the foghorn chortling hoarsely over the shabby trick, so it seemed to her, she stared back at the misty glow of the pier and tried to pierce the distance that lay between her and the lights of London, so many leagues away. HE was there, in the glitter and glamour of it all, but black with disappointment and wonder. Oh, it was a detestable thing she had done!
Heads flew out of windows, for the thing was unbelievable, and among other heads was Win's. Instinct cried that the chortling was for her. The balcony where the rubber plants had died and mummied themselves, being scarcely more than a foot wide, she was able to see a face, crowned with red hair and white as a Pierrette's in the lights of the street, looking anxiously up from the cab window.
"The river's all of twenty mile from here." "They've transmitted power from Victoria Falls on the Zembesi River, in Rhodesia, six hundred miles to the Rand." Chortling, Ore City looked at the camp hoodoo in triumph. That should hold him for a while. "I wish you luck," said Uncle Bill, his complacency returning, "but Ore City ain't the Rand. You'll never pull your money back."
She was conscious of a crowd collecting in the doorway; there suddenly seemed to be millions of people in the store rude, pushing, chortling phantoms as in some dreadful nightmare. Hot, prickling waves began to wash over her. They were laughing at her. Spurred by the vulgar guffaws she gave another frantic tug Oh, dear heaven!
"If my head didn't ache so hard," he assured the chortling blacksmith, "I'd shore talk to you, but Say, lookit here, Piney, quit yore foolin', will you? Who owns this hoss, anyway?" "Here comes Kansas," said Piney. "Betcha five even he arrests you for a hoss thief." "Gimme odds an' I'll go you," Racey returned, promptly. "Even," stuck out Piney. "Naw, he might do it.
Don't grow 'm like that at the Ladies' Aid meeting at the First Baptist Church, do they?" He settled back in his chair, chortling. Phil smiled as he tossed aside his hat. "Blame it on the fog, Uncle Milt. I was foolish enough to trip over something in the dark and take a header down the Canoe Club stairs into the water," he explained mendaciously. "Me for the woods to-morrow without fail.
"But you will," he declared determinedly, and forged ahead faster than ever, white hand following white hand. It was then that Gwendolyn heard the nurse muttering and chortling to herself. "Well, I never!" exclaimed the tongue-tip that was not being held. "If this ain't a' automobile road! Why, it's a fine automobile road! Ha! ha! ha! That makes a difference!" Gwendolyn was startled.
