So I'm going to ask you to delay your crowing, from now on, until after sunrise." "Impossible!" cried the Rooster. "I'm sorry to disoblige you, madam. But what you ask can't be done." "That's just what the cockerel said!" Henrietta Hen exclaimed. "The cockerel!" the Rooster echoed angrily. "Which one? Has one of those upstarts been talking about me?

Now that this man's name was not Cockerel, my heart opened to him and we began to admit to each other the perplexities of this great, strange thing called Life.

"If you can," cried Mark, defiantly, and then he shrank and gave an uneasy glance round at his men to see what effect the American's words had upon them. For with a contemptuous laugh the Yankee uttered the one word "cockerel," and slammed down and fastened the light.

"No, I would not!" But I had to yield. My dream was that our General had told me a fable. It was of a young rat, which seeing a cockerel, whose tail was scarcely longer than his own, leap down into a barrel, gather some stray grains of corn and fly out again, was tempted to follow his example, but having got in, could only stay there. The boys furnished the moral; it was not complimentary.

It shows what an eye he had for a lady's chamber that he was very nearly right. A lady did put her head out; not Jehane, but a rock-faced matron of vast proportions with grey hair plastered to her cheeks. 'Behold, behold the dawn, my tender heart! breathed Gaston. 'Out, you cockerel, said the old lady, and Gaston wooed her in vain.

His cheek was laid open, a bullet had torn his thigh, and a powder burn streaked his neck, but he felt these hurts not at all. It was a nightmare from which there seemed no escape. He saw Blackbeard rush at him with a raucous shout of: "The scurvy young cockerel! He will ne'er crow again."

"It is a rum start, Mistress," John went on, as he sat down to his meal, "that two old hands like the Captain and I were sailing on, not dreaming of hidden rocks or sand-banks, when this lad, who I used to look upon as a young cockerel who was rather above his position, should come forward and have saved us all from shipwreck."

"I wonder what's the cause of that extraordinary vividness in the speech of the Scotch peasantry?" said Allan more to keep the blades from bickering than from any wish to know. "It comes from a power of seeing things vividly inside your mind," said a voice, timorous and wheezy, away down the table. What cockerel was this crowing? They turned, and beheld the blushing Gourlay.

"Is the boy still awake?" said Maurice to Paolo, who, as they used to say of Pushee at the old Anchor Tavern, was everywhere at once on that gay and busy evening. "What! Mahser Maurice asleep an' all this racket going on? I hear him crowing like young cockerel when he fus' smell daylight." "Tell the nurse to bring him down quietly to the little room that leads out of the library."

"In a loud, imperious voice this cockerel called for Giovanni, Lord of Pesaro, whereupon, resenting the insolence of his manner, the men-at-arms would have driven him out without more ado. But it chanced that from one of the windows of his stronghold the tyrant espied his odd visitor.
