Polly Sparkes throughout her leisurely toilet was moved to irritation and curiosity by the sound of frequent laughter on the other side of the party wall uproarious peals, long chucklings in a falsetto key, staccato bursts of mirth. "That is the comic stuff in 'Clippings," she said to herself with an involuntary grin. "What a fool he is! And why's he staying in bed this morning?
Then he cried, 'For this, praise we Allah and the Prophet. Wullahy, 'twas wondrous! and he went off again into a roll of cluckings and chucklings and exclamations of delight, crying, 'Need they further proof of the power in Shagpat now? Has he not manifested it? So true is that saying "The friend that flattereth weakeneth at length; It is the foe that calleth forth our strength."
It is when the young go out of the nest on their first foraging that the parents, full of a crass and simple pride, make their indescribable chucklings of gobbling, gluttonous delight. The little ones would be amusing as they tug and tussle, if one could forget what it is they feed upon. One never comes any nearer to the vulture's nest or nestlings than hearsay.
While my cuff-mate, the tall negro, mourned with chucklings and laughter over some laundry he was sure to lose through his arrest, and while the train rolled on toward Buffalo, I talked with the man in the seat behind me. He had an empty pipe. I filled it for him with my precious tobacco enough in a single filling to make a dozen cigarettes.

Henry enjoyed it greatly, as his frequent chucklings evinced while the Judge's fine bays were trotting along the Alameda.
"Not to tire you," pursued Grantham, "with a repetition of the oaths and vulgar and interjectional chucklings that passed between the well assorted pair, during the disclosure of the younger, I will briefly state that it was one of the most stupid that could have been conceived, and reflected but little credit on the stratagetic powers of whoever originated it.
Copley made no further remark, but his husky chucklings over the batter's failures, sent the blood to Nelson's head and assisted him in finally misjudging a high one on the inside corner. "You're out!" pronounced the umpire. "That's the pitching, cap!" laughed Larkins. "They had their fun with you last year; now it's your turn."
Besides, it had been diligently whispered around that it was curious indeed, VERY curious that that wonderful knife of theirs did not turn up IF it was so valuable, or IF it had ever existed. And with the whisperings went chucklings and nudgings and winks, and such things have an effect.
