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.
"I? I never dreamed of such a thing." "Well, you did it, anyway. And I have a right to feel hurt, and I do feel hurt, to have you treat me so. It seems to me that when a person goads, and crowds, and in a manner forces another person to talk, it is neither very fair nor very good-mannered to call what he says clack." "Oh, snuffle do! and break your heart, you poor thing.
"Ay, but ye're a guid man when ye're sober, Davie." "Maybe I'll be that, Jennie, if I'm nae disturbed." "An' ye'll bide wi' me, Davie, an' work for me?" "I see nae reason why I shouldna bide wi' yet Jennie; but dinna ye clack aboot work to me, for I just canna bear the thoct o't." "Anyhow, ye'll do your best, Davie? As the minister says, nae man can do mair than that."
The clear notes of a bugle rang; whackety, bang clack clack, went the axes. Trees fell all around. The forest seemed to drop on me. I got my horse and fled across the creek. "That isn't fair; this stream is supposed to be impassable," sang out a lieutenant, who was doing a Blondin act on the first tree over, while beneath him yawned the chasm of four or five feet.
Rob called them "Chickens"; farther south they are called "Fool Hens," which is descriptive and helps to distinguish them from their neighbours the "Sage Hens." Frequently now we heard the toy-trumpeting and the clack of the Pileated Woodpecker or Cock-of-the-Pines, a Canadian rather than a Hudsonian species. One day, at our three o'clock meal, a great splendid fellow of the kind gave us a thrill.
The giddy throng passed and repassed before my eyes. Alas! how many of them felt my exquisite sense of duty done? An awful question. Let us not pursue it. Between six and seven the travellers arrived. To my indescribable surprise, they were escorted, not by Mr. Bruff. "How do you do, Miss Clack?" he said. "I mean to stay this time."
Can't you imagine the clack of tongues; the 'I says to her, and 'she told me, and 'what do you think!" "Don't be sarcastic and disagreeable, Jim," advised Fanny, with some heat. "When you think of it, it is a wonder that girl coming here the way she did; buying out the fair, just as everybody was discouraged over it. And now " "How do you explain it, Fan?" asked her brother. "Explain it?
From gutter to gutter flowed a stream of men, like a sluggish river which narrowed where a fallen house partly filled the way; not talking, not singing, just moving, bent under their heavy and mud-covered equipment. Here and there the clack of wooden sabots on the cobbles told of one poor fellow not outfitted with leather shoes.
As stated by "Hosea Biglow," We gave the critters back, John, Cos Abraham thought 't was right; It wa'nt your bullyin' clack, John, Provokin' us to fight. The statesmanship displayed by our Government throughout this difficult affair was of the highest order. Credit for it has been given to Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, by whom the correspondence and negotiations were conducted.
The only deviation from the perpendicular was from the insertion of a speaking-trumpet under his left arm, at right angles with his body. It had evidently seen much service, was battered, and the clack Japan worn off in most parts of it. As we said before, Mr Vanslyperken walked his quarter-deck. He was in a brown study, yet looked blue.
