For days I have not spoken to my best friend, who was most refined in other respects, but could not desist from spluttering and spraying the half dozen men nearest to him. We became friends again, but although we slept and messed together, I always took care never to be nearer than number ten from him at "gargling parade."

Music, vocal or otherwise, is always a matter of taste, and individual appreciation of birdsong varies like the rest. One man finds the cuckoo's cry intolerably wearisome. Another sees no romance in the gargling of doves, while comparatively few care for the piercing scream of the starling or the rasping note of the corncrake. Yet few birds perform to a more hostile audience than the owl.

The rest of Duncan's threat was lost in a growling gargling sort of sound, which he made in his throat, and which menaced recusants with no gentle means of conversion.

Ellsworth calling out from just in back of us, "Take him in the skiff and bring him aboard, Huntley." "Now e ng t gt cld down," Pee-wee said, munching away on a jaw breaker. "You look as if you'd been gargling a bottle of ink," I told him. "Don't talk, you can't do two things at once." Pretty soon Skinny came up the ladder to the cabin roof where we were all sitting.

As so many rheumatic germs are absorbed from diseased or inflamed tonsils or from other parts of the mouth and throat, proper gargling or swashing of the mouth and throat should be continued as much as possible, even during an endocarditis. The prevention of mouth infections will be the prevention of rheumatism and of endocarditis.

Nobody is more eager to oblige deserving aunts than Bertram Wooster, but there are limits, and sharply defined limits, at that. "So you think I'm going to strew prizes at this bally Dotheboys Hall of yours?" "I do." "And make a speech?" "Exactly." I laughed derisively. "For goodness' sake, don't start gargling now. This is serious." "I was laughing." "Oh, were you?

"La illah il Allah, Mohammed rassoul'lah! Allah Akbar! God is great!" One by one the dim towers took it up. The call to prayer rolled between the stars and the town. It searched the white runways. It penetrated the vine-bowered arbour. Little by little, tower by tower, it died. In a fondouk outside the gate a waking camel lifted a gargling wail.

He did not even condescend to turn his head toward them, but he looked at them out of the corner of his dark eye, wrinkled very slightly the skin of his nose, exhibited two beautiful fangs, and gave utterance to a soft remark, that might be described as quiet, deep-toned gargling. It wasn't much, but it was more than enough for the valiant six, who paused and snarled violently.

Rita/Lily ran to the bathroom, turned on the tap water, and then began gargling with water and then with mouthwash. "That minty stuff sure has a good taste, Rita," yelled Gabriele toward the bathroom. "Make sure you don't swallow the damned stuff or we'll be doing this again." Lily gargled, spat, repeated the process, and then yelled back toward Gabriele,"Do you miss Nathaniel, your Adagio?"

I found him sitting in a low hut, with five or six more of his companions, washing their hands and feet, and frequently taking water into their mouths, gargling and spitting it out again. I was no sooner seated than he handed me a double- barrelled gun, and told me to dye the stock of a blue colour, and repair one of the locks.
