When the town awakened next morning there were loud clamorings for the arrest of the showman who had dared to unfurl a circus advertisement from the top of the city's flag pole. The showmen guilty of the deed were many, many miles away by that time, engaged in other similar occupations. At McAlister, a booming western town, the opposition were still hard on the heels of Car Three.
"I know of no other means whereby to temporarily still the clamorings of conscience." Alwyn flushed darkly. "Conscience!" he began in rather a resentful tone, "Aye, conscience!" repeated Heliobas firmly. "There is such a thing. Do you profess to be wholly without it?"

I must admit that I rather admire your steadfastness in following out what Allan Morris has desired of you; however, it is a great mistake for a strong nature to submit to the clamorings of a weaker one." She sat suddenly erect; protest was in her eyes, and one hand went up in denial.
"As the caravans ascended the ridge which overlooks the city, the clamorings of the men and the rejoicings of the bull whackers could be heard on every side. Even the animals seemed to participate in the humor of their riders. I doubt whether the first sight of Jerusalem brought the crusaders more tumultuous and soul-enrapturing joy."
She picked up a copy of "Treasure Island" and soon wished fervently that the days of pirates were back again. Owen gave up his fight against morphine late Friday night. Saturday he was at peace with the world. Gone were all the nerve clamorings and with them went his scruples.

At the place of success there began more wild clamorings of cheers. The men gesticulated and bellowed in an ecstasy. When they spoke it was as if they considered their listener to be a mile away. What hats and caps were left to them they often slung high in the air. At one part of the line four men had been swooped upon, and they now sat as prisoners.
And why? Because his will is enthralled in the direst bondage conceivable his manhood is in the dust, and a demon sits in the chariot of his soul, lashing the fiery steeds of passion to maniacal madness. No possible motive or combination of motives can be urged upon him which will stand a moment before the infernal clamorings of his appetite.

No toads nor cats graced the parlor floor, and no bugs nor snakes tortured Miss Wetherby's nerves when Bobby's bed was made each day. The kitchen woodbox threatened to overflow so high were its contents piled and Miss Wetherby was put to her wits' end to satisfy Bobby's urgent clamorings for errands to run.
You stood there like David before Goliath, and overthrew him in the dust. You made the insolent giant small, you hero. I thank you, my Mohammed!" The great square which lay in the centre of the village of Praousta resounded with wild outcries and clamorings.
