What would happen if that jumper, loaded with boys and girls, should leave the track just now? Jack chuckled as he thought of it.

What a happening then!
All he could do was to stand and stare first at her and then at his father. "Why don't you shake hands with her?" said Ryder, Sr., "She won't bite you."

They emerged at last in company with a big parcel, hailed a hansom and drove away. Peter looked at the clock and chuckled. "To think Coblan is that sort of fool.

It ought to show Frank sitting on top of Hank, while Bluff and Jerry surround the other tramp, who is on his knees, aiming his old gun. Then my machine is lying there.

But let the dead bury their dead. There was now a new lord in Minchampstead; and every country Caliban was finding, to his disgust, that he had 'got a new master, and must perforce 'be a new man.

"We'll have nothing to receive them in." "But not Purt Sweet," chuckled Billy Long. "Purt's packed a dinner jacket and a pair of spats. How much other fancy raiment he proposes to spring on us the deponent knoweth not. He'll be just a scream in the woods."

Gibelin chuckled harshly. "I have kept the most important thing for the last. I'm afraid it will annoy my distinguished colleague even more than the loss of the leather fragments."

I only mean that your début in this case hasn't been exactly ha, ha! well, not exactly brilliant."

The doctor shall prescribe for him instead of me; by Jove, that would serve him right." And my lord faintly chuckled. "No! this is what I am ill of" and he read the fatal note again. "I do nothing! cruel, unjust," sighed he. "I could have done, would have done, anything to please her.
And I chuckled with satisfaction as I saw him plunge behind the scenes, calling angrily upon some invisible Jim to come forth. I had acted as a sort of lightning-rod for a sister actress.
