The satyrs ran towards them, and laid hold of them, dragging them into a cavern, which was in the midst of the forest deep beneath the earth; and upon the ground round about the cavern lay a great serpent in spiral foldings, breathing poison into the cavern: in the branches of the forest above the serpent dismal birds of night croaked and screeched.
All the same, he was a debonair prince, and once gave me a groat to drink his health when he saw me holding his horse." "That he is a prisoner is certain," croaked Benoist. "And if prisoner to Maître Cromouailles he can only make his escape through one door. And that door does not lead to Jersey, though it may to Paradise."
I was all bunged up one night just goin' to croak, the doctor said and they stuck a tube or somethin' in my throat, and the Head sucked out the stuff." "Ugh! 'Shot if I would!" "He ought to have got diphtheria himself, the doctor said. So he stayed on at our house instead of going back. I'd ha' croaked in another twenty minutes, the doctor says."
Garrick peered out to determine from just where they were firing. "Lucky for us that we had these coats," he muttered, "or they would have croaked us, before we knew it. These are our old friends, the anaesthetic bullets, too. Even a little scratch from one of them and we should be hors de combat for an hour or two." "Shall we take a chance?" urged Dillon.
"I dunno. I guess not," Ward muttered confusedly. "Well, I'll go out and find some sage, then, and give you sage tea. That's another cure-all. Say, Ward, I saw Rattler down the creek. He's looking fine and dandy. He came whinnying down out of that draw, to meet us; just tickled to death to see somebody." "Don't blame him," croaked Ward. "It's enough to tickle anybody."
Young, well-nourished looking men were bending over him. Looking up into their faces, he crossed his hands over his chest and laughed joyfully. 'Ah, those Russians, those Russians...the villains! he croaked, 'aho, aho, ho hurlai! He rolled his tear-filled eyes. Things were happening thick and fast. From where the chimney stood close to the water, near the manor-house, the village was burning.
"Anyway, we're alone together again for a bit, Sally," he croaked. The woman checked her sobs to answer. "Yes, honey," she replied. Goodwin waited till the tapping of the crutch had receded. "So they've quit him at last," he reflected. "And" he stepped forth from his hiding place briskly "they've left the door open. Now for Tom Mowbray!" Once within the door he was no longer careful to be silent.
"I hope you'll try to be regular," he told Mr. Crow. "When a person takes a newspaper he doesn't like to be disappointed, you know." Old Mr. Crow said that he hoped nothing would prevent his coming to Brownie's house every Saturday afternoon. "There's only one more thing I can think of," he croaked, "that would make it impossible for me to be here.
"With my bare hands I would strangle her, but " "There must be no marks of violence when she is found in the river. Tchee, chee it is a pity." "Number one p'lice chop, lo!" croaked the raven, following this remark with the police-whistle imitation. Mrs. Sin turned and stared fiercely at the one-eyed bird. "Why do you bring that evil, croaking thing here?" she demanded. "Have we not enough risks?"
"Oh, deah," croaked the Little Colonel like a dismal raven, as she waited at the head of the stairs for the girls to finish dressing. "This is the la-st mawnin' well all go racin' down to breakfast togethah! I'm glad that Betty isn't goin' away for a while longah. If you all had to leave at the same time, it would be so lonesome that I couldn't stand it."
