"Good!" chorussed both of them together, unanimously slapping their thighs. "Choose one of our horses. He was a good man who gave us them. We wish we had known. We should have asked him for another when we were about it." Nevertheless, I rode back to Plassenburg on the farmer's beast, sadly enough, yet somewhat contented.
To this lamentation, which one or two of the assistants chorussed with a deep groan, our hero thought it unnecessary to make any reply. Whereupon Mr. Gilfillan, resolving that he should be a hearer at least, if not a disputant, proceeded in his Jeremiade.
There's an awful long thing just crawled out of the sea, and it is creeping up to the tent as fast as it can!" "Yes," chorussed Florry, "and it's like the seals we saw in the Zoological Gardens; only it's twice as big and has a long trunk like an elephant!" "Jeehosophat!" exclaimed Mr Lathrope, feeling for his revolver. "It must be a rum outlandish animile, if it's like that!"
The distant but incessant rumbling of thunder was a chorussed growling of storm voices against a background of muffled drum-beat, and the girl said, a shade anxiously, "Gran'pap's goin' ter git drenched ter ther skin." While the inky pall spread and lowered until it held the visible world in a gray-green corrosion of gloom the stillness became more pulseless.
Since the law will not give us redress, and put them down, we must take the law into our own hands. They shall have Club Law." "Ay, ay 'Prentices' law Club law!" chorussed the others. "Sir Giles will make a Star-Chamber matter of it. He will have us up before the Council," laughed the goldsmith's 'prentice. "He will buy a monopoly of cudgels to deprive us of their use," cried a bowyer.
Lois followed them in helplessly. The room was dark as night, for the shutters were closed. Mrs. Babcock flung one open peremptorily. "We'll break our necks here, if we don't have some light," she said. The hail began to rattle on the window-panes. "It's hailin'!" the women chorussed. "Are your windows all shut?" Mrs. Babcock demanded of Lois.
And as these two jolly jackasses rode past at my right side I could see the thumb of long Boris curving towards the ribs of his companion, and the shoulders of both shaking as they chuckled. "A rare simpleton's question, i' faith, yes. Ho! ho! Good!" they chorussed. "'The Prince hath a Princess' the cock hath a hen, and she Ha! ha! Good!"
"I drink to the graces, Law, Physic, Divinity, Viva la Compagnie! And here's to the worthy old Bursar of Trinity, Viva la Compagnie!" "Viva, viva la va!" etc., were chorussed with a shout that shook the old walls, while Power took up the strain: "Though with lace caps and gowns they look so like asses, Viva la Compagnie!" They'd rather have punch than the springs of Parnassus, Viva la Compagnie!
But Aleck was on the alert and avoided several, till a more vigorous one was attempted by the biggest lad present, a great, hulking, stupid, hobbledehoy of a fellow, who drove a companion against Aleck's shoulder, making him stagger for a moment, while the aggressor burst out into a hoarse laugh which was chorussed by the little crowd, and then stopped.
"I knew you was lyin', but you look good to me just the same." He captured the hand that invited, and felt on the palm familiar markings and distortions. "When'd you chuck the cannery?" he asked. "How'd yeh know?" and, "My, ain't cheh a mind-reader!" the girls chorussed.
