He was jerked upward by the scruff, as, smarting, blubbering Africa retired to the shadow of the waggons. "Well, what have you got to say?" The bellow of the town batteries, with the clack clack clack! of the Hotchkiss that had been removed from the armoured train and mounted on the North Fort, reduced the tirade to pantomime. "This is a bad, a very bad, place for the son of my mother."
A hen laid an egg outside and began to cackle it was an event of magnitude; a peasant sharpening his scythe, a blacksmith hammering at his anvil, the clack of a wooden shoe upon the pavement, the boom of a bumble-bee, the dripping of the fountain, all these things, with such concert as they kept, invited the dewy-feathered sleep that visited him, and held him for the best part of an hour.
Her clack was going all day, and you would think something would surely happen to her works, by and by; but no, they never got out of order; and she never had to slack up for words. She could grind, and pump, and churn, and buzz by the week, and never stop to oil up or blow out. And yet the result was just nothing but wind. She never had any ideas, any more than a fog has.

Her tongue had started to clack at once, but Buck was in no mood to put up with unnecessary chatter.
The altered hue, the rolling eyes, the floating locks, the frenzied gesture all is possession, horror, mystery. Apol. Who lists may hear Apollo's soothfast rede Of stiff debate, heroic challenge ringing Shrill, and each headpiece lined with fence of proof.

The planking of the Mayflower was beginning to clack like the polished floor of a ball-room, and the rich smell of a tavern was filling the atmosphere about the boat.
"And you wouldn't say that if you didn't know that the cruellest thing you can do to a woman is to hurt her feelings," she retorted. "Oh, feelings!" exclaimed Diavolo. "You've got castanets that clack where you should have feelings." Angelica raised her hand, and then dropped it by her side again, and looked at him. "What do you mean by this nonsense?" she demanded.
Even by standing on the chair he was not tall enough to reach the picture; even by standing tippy-toe he could not reach it. There was left but the one alternative he must jump for it, but when he did that he knocked it off. It fell with a loud clack to the floor and broke in two. Then terror seized the heart of David.
