He ain't able to sing his song in the ring. It's jest before they begins. ""Dan," he croaks, plenty dejected, "I wish you'd clown up an' go in an' sing that song." "'This cantata he alloodes to, is easy; it's "Roll Jurdan, Roll," an' I hears it so much at nigger camp meetin's an' sim'lar distractions, that I carols it in my sleep. As the clown throws out his bluff I considers awhile some ser'ous.
Manuel lay flat on the ground to avoid being struck by low-flying birds, but I remained standing in order to see the better. Faster and faster circled the pursued and pursuers and louder grew the cries and croaks. My gaze was bewildered by the endless, eddying stream of birds.
Everything fits in to complete the reproduction of Greek pastoral life. The goats eat cytisus and myrtle on the shore; a whole flock gathered round me as I sat beneath a tuft of golden green euphorbia the other day, and nibbled bread from my hands. The frog still croaks by tank and fountain, 'whom the Muses have ordained to sing for aye, in spite of Bion's death.
I need Draper badly, and she won't be back until the old girl either croaks or gets better." Under other circumstances, the callousness of this speech, the coarseness of some of the expressions, the calling of Miss Draper by her surname, would have grated upon me.
Other references to the same bird are as follows: "The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements." "It comes o'er my memory As doth the raven o'er the infected house, Boding to all." "That tolls The sick man's passport in her hollow beak, And in the shadow of the silent night Doth shake contagion from her sable wings."
The Ceratophrys croaks when angry, and as it is the most truculent of all batrachians it works itself into a rage if you go near it. Its first efforts at chanting or singing sounds like the deep, harsh, anger-croak prolonged, but as the time goes on they gradually acquire, night by night, a less raucous and a louder, more sustained and far- reaching sound.
The generalissimo swears in the name of armed France; the National Assembly swears; the king swears; be the welkin split with vivats! And the feast of pikes dances itself off and becomes defunct. IV. The End of Mirabeau Of journals there are now some 133; among which, Marat, the People's Friend, unseen, croaks harsh thunder.
"Very good; well, what were you unscrewing the nut for?" "Wha-at?" "Drop that 'wha-at' and answer the question; what were you unscrewing the nut for?" "If I hadn't wanted it I shouldn't have unscrewed it," croaks Denis, looking at the ceiling. "What did you want that nut for?" "The nut? We make weights out of those nuts for our lines." "Who is 'we'?"
Though 'tis not their usual roosting-place, they have remained there all night, now and then giving utterance to their hoarse, guttural croaks, when some howling, predatory quadruped coyote or puma approaching too near, has startled them from their dozing slumbers. As the first rays of the sun rouse them to activity, their movements tell why they have stayed.
She caught his arm and he stopped, as she stood beside him, trembling, haggard, staring at him out of dead, mad eyes. There was no colour in her blotched face, and in the moonlight the red rims of her eyes looked leaden, and her voice was unsteady. At times it broke in sobbing croaks, and she spoke with loose jaws, as one in great terror.
