She shrieked in a most ear-piercing tone: "There it is! I know Janice Day did that! Don't talk to me! She's the plague of the neighborhood. No wonder Sophrony couldn't stand it here. Bringing bears into the house!" "Oh! Oh, Miss Peckham! I never!" cried Janice. "Don't deny it.
"Then there isn't a single word in the dictionary good enough to fit!" screamed Mary, excitedly, spinning around and around in the kitchen floor until the red ribbons stood out at right angles from her head. "There isn't a single word, Holland; we'll just have to squeal!" At that she gave a long, ear-piercing shriek that seemed to go through the roof like a fine-pointed needle.
It cried out of tune and made ear-piercing noises that were not included in even the most modern of compositions. Moreover, she was not by nature of the maternal type of woman, to whom marriage is but the beautiful path which leads to motherhood. She was essentially one of the lovers of the world.
At first we thought some poor wretch was being sacrificed, but again and again it sounded, and all turned pale, even the royal Ocra himself. "What's that, I wonder?"

The bear paused but for a moment, to cast his solitary eye over the situation. Mrs. Gammit fairly held her breath.
"What a shame of you," she said, bursting into a laugh when they were safely outside; "she's been taught by the best masters." "How I pity them," retorted Brian, grimly, as Julia wailed out, "Meet me once again," with an ear-piercing shrillness. "I'd much rather listen to our ancestral Banshee, and as to meeting her again, one interview would be more than enough."
A woman half mad with anguish for her demon-ridden daughter, calling after Him with the shrill shriek of Eastern sorrow and disturbing the fine nerves of the disciples, but causing no movements nor any sign that He even heard, or if He heard, heeded, the ear-piercing and heart-moving cries. Why was that ear which was always open to the call of misery closed now?

Proceedings in the affair below had not yet reached the police interference stage. The noise, what with the shots and yells from the street and the ear-piercing approval of the roof-audience, was just working up to a climax. Psmith rose.
