"Go!" he shrieked, and pointed in superb dismissal. A hundred and fifty barbarians sat where they were, and laughed at him; and he must needs come back to the platform, with a baffled and vindictive glower. He was just turning, as it chanced, when young Gourlay put his hands to his mouth and bellowed "Cock-a-doodle-do!"
"Cock-a-doodle-do!" crowed the rooster, and it sounded just as if he said, "I don't know what to do!" "Shoo! Shoo!" cried the little girl, and she tried to drive the rooster over toward Bunny, so he could lasso the big crowing bird. But the rooster was not going to be caught as easily as that. He ran to one side, around the rose bush and off toward the garden. "Get him, Bunny! Get him!" cried Sue.
And he gave such a tremendous bellow how did he make that noise? that Lottie looked quite alarmed. "I'll be a sheep," said little Rags. "A whole lot of sheep went past this morning." "How do you know?" "Dad heard them. Baa!" He sounded like the little lamb that trots behind and seems to wait to be carried. "Cock-a-doodle-do!" shrilled Isabel.
And then he flew down from his perch and said, "Cock-a-doodle-do" three times and a half, and after that the owl flew away. "That was very kind of you," said the little rabbit. "Oh, don't mention it," said the red rooster, "but there is one thing you can do for me." "What's that?" asked Billy Bunny. "Take me Luckymobiling," laughed the red rooster. "All right.
You must turn it the other way over." "But then everybody will see it the same time as me," said Lottie. The game proceeded. Mooe-ooo-er! The bull was terrible. He charged over the table and seemed to eat the cards up. Bss-ss! said the bee. Cock-a-doodle-do! Isabel stood up in her excitement and moved her elbows like wings. Baa!
"What!" cried Bob, trying to give his prisoner a shake, but shaking himself instead. "If you dare to say that again, sir, I'll have you clapped in irons. Here, my lads, bring 'em all out, and let's have a look at the hang-dog scoundrels." "Cock-a-doodle-do!" Mark gave a fair imitation of the crowing of a cock, and Bob was furious. "How dare you, sir!" he cried.
"Of course, bigamy isn't my favorite crime or anything like that. I'm no bloodhound on matrimonial offenses. How'll you trade?" "If you'll throw out Higgleby I'll plead Angelo Ferrero to manslaughter," announced Mr. Tutt with a grand air of bestowing largess upon an unworthy recipient. "Cock-a-doodle-do!" chortled Peckham. "A lot you will! Angelo's halfway to the chair already yet!"
So saying he gave vent to a cock-a-doodle-do which would have done honour to the proudest of gallinaceans. The two Americans could not help laughing. "A fine accomplishment that," said Nicholl, looking suspiciously at his companion. "Yes," answered Michel, "a joke common in my country. It is very Gallic. We perpetrate it in the best society." Then turning the conversation
The rooster puffed out his chest and gave a loud: "Cock-a-doodle-do! I've got fifty wives but do they bully me? They do not! Whenever I find a nice fat worm or a grain of corn I set up an awful noise and gather them all around me. Then I eat it while they stand there and admire me! No, no, old dog, I have no patience with the master! He has only one wife and he doesn't know how to rule her!"
With repulsive clumsiness he climbed into the vehicle, and then said roughly, almost brutally, to his niece "Get in! get in!" and scarcely gave her time to be seated ere he hit the pony and nearly screwed its jaw off getting out of the yard. "Cock-a-doodle-do! Ain't it nice to have a sweet temper," loudly remarked Andrew, as he stood aside. "He just is a purple plum.
