"The self-same moment I could pray; And from my neck so free The Albatross fell off, and sank Like lead into the sea." Barbara jumped up, clapping her hands with delight. "I knew something was going to happen!" she cried. "I knew it was coming all right!" "You have not heard the end yet! You don't know what may be coming!" protested Richard. "Nothing can go wrong now!
"Then I am very glad of it!" said the boy, dropping the weed, and clapping his hands joyfully; "for then I hope you will always stay here, don't you, mamma? don't you, Mr. Vincent? Oh, you do, I am sure, for I heard you say so to papa the other day! But what makes you grow so red?"
He had not remained three minutes in this posture of defence, when Pipes, who acted as the enemy's forlorn hope, advanced to the gate with great intrepidity, and, clapping his foot to the door, which was none of the stoutest, with the execution and despatch of a petard, split it into a thousand pieces.
What's the idea, Billie?" "Well," replied Billie, biting off her thread calmly, "we have to eat while we're there, you know." "No!" cried Chet sarcastically. "You may, sweet sister, but not us. We are too ethereal." "Say, is he insulting us?" cried Ferd indignantly. "Say that again, I dare you " "Oh, for goodness' sake keep still!" cried Laura, clapping her hands to her ears.
The band, grinning with embarrassment and pleasure, stumbled up the rickety steps on to the platform.

When I had found a bluebird's nest in the cavity of a stump or a tree, I used to try to capture the mother bird by approaching silently and clapping my hand over the hole; in this I sometimes succeeded, though, of course, I never harmed the bird. I used to capture song sparrows in a similar way, by clapping my hat over the nest in the side of the bank along the road.

Think ye, my sisters, that the Roman soldiers stood not aside when such a following did pass?" "Aye, but I like the sound of thy speech," said Martha, smiling and clapping her hands. "Wonderful!" exclaimed Mary. "But the sword, why the sword?" "The King hath been acclaimed, but the throne hath yet to be established and swords shall the sons of Judah take up if there be need."
"Oh! thanks, that's jolly!" cried Fidge, clapping his hands, and they all sat down again, while the old man began as follows: "It was on a dark winter's night, and the hot sun was pouring down upon the " "Oh!" interrupted Marjorie, "I beg your pardon, but haven't you made a mistake?
