So it happened" here the Convener pulled himself up short to suppress the chuckle that threatened "it happened that just as the examination was beginning McPherson was called out, and before he had returned the trials for license and ordination had been sustained. I think on the whole McPherson was relieved, but there were some funny moments after he came back into court."
"Whose name?" she inquired, roused by his voice from smiling retrospection. "That chuckle head the young man who continued to haunt you so persistently when you poured tea for Nina on Tuesday. Of course they all haunted you," he explained politely, as she shook her head in sign of non-comprehension; "but there was one who ah gulped at his cup." "Please you are rather dreadful, aren't you?" "Yes.
"There's a big secret society in Sicily called 'The Mafia," vouchsafed Carmel. "Then let us call ours 'The Chilcombe Mafia. No one will understand what we mean, even if they get hold of the name. Indeed I shouldn't mind casually mentioning it now and then, just to puzzle them. When things get bad, 'The Mafia' will take them up." "Strike secretly and suddenly!" agreed Dulcie with a chuckle.
Why ever had I given myself away so to that Doctor? The thought that I had put my arm round him and looked at him with wet eyes angered me; he would chuckle over it, I thought; perhaps at that very moment he might be sitting laughing over it, with Edwarda.

"Have you met Tony?" asked Frank, with a chuckle of amusement. "No. You see, he's a junior and I'm only a soph, so we run in different grooves. What about him, Frank?" asked the other, eagerly.

A lame colonel was limping past. "I got your courier," he said.
And Miss Brooke is really pretty." Lady Maria gave vent to her small chuckle. "Mrs. Ralph is the kind of woman who means business. She'll corner Walderhurst and talk literature and roll her eyes at him until he hates her. These writing women, who are intensely pleased with themselves, if they have some good looks into the bargain, believe themselves capable of marrying any one. Mrs.
"Came from there myself, once," he continued with a chuckle. "Law, law! You'd never think it now. Fifty years makes a heap o' difference." He took another turn among the salt barrels and cracker boxes, then asked suddenly, "What's your name, sonny?" "Steven," answered the boy, still more surprised. The old fellow gave another chuckle and rubbed his hands together delightedly.
