"So I was right when I suggested that his 'Mercy' had gone back on him," said Mr. Thomas Colvin McIntyre, with a semi-hysterical giggle. Average Jones looked from the peaceful face of the dead to the label, fluttering in the light breeze. "No," he said gravely. "You were wrong. It was his friend to the last."
But there is just one part of Mr Glass you have not succeeded in explaining away, and that is his name. Miss MacNab distinctly heard him so addressed by Mr Todhunter." The Rev. Mr Brown broke into a rather childish giggle. "Well, that," he said, "that's the silliest part of the whole silly story.
The toilette of Katherine and Helen passed in a very different manner that evening; Katherine did nothing but giggle and chatter incessantly, about the game they had been playing at, in order to prevent Helen from saying anything about the result of their excursion the evening before, and to keep herself from thinking of the cowardly part she had been acting all day.
It says half-past nine. I am sure it must be later than that." "Half-past nine! why, it is past eleven," replied Miss Nora, with a giggle. "Do you suppose they pay any attention to clocks in this house? Everything here is topsy-turvy." "Oh! what shall I do?" sighed poor Jacqueline, on the verge of tears. "Why, do they keep you such a prisoner as that? Can't you come in a little late "
"She has it to perfection." Miss Crilly's giggle preceded her words. "She's like a beanpole with its good clothes on, ain't she? But, then, I think Miss Sniffen is real nice sometimes," she amended. "So are basilisks and beanpoles in their proper places," retorted Miss Major; "but they don't belong in the June Holiday Home." "Are her rules so awful?" inquired Miss Mullaly anxiously.
In the verse of our second poet, Milton so great that before his name the word "second" rings false as the giggle of fatuity the ideas are frequently shallow and the facts generally false. In Dante, if the ideas are sometimes profound and the emotions awful, they are also, as a rule, repugnant to our better feelings: the facts are the hoardings of a parish scold.
After awhile, at a giggle of amusement from schoolboy Tom, she turned a rebuking gaze upon us, over the top of the book; but the very effort to be severe emphasised the fact that her countenance was formed to give only pleasure, and our looks brought back the smile to her eyes. "'Tis no use," said Tom, "you couldn't help being charming if you tried."
Then the birds they laugh and talk like Christians; they make me split my sides, God bless their little hearts; but they won't chirrup. Oh, dear, no, bless you, they leave the Christians to chirrup they hold conversations and giggle and laugh and play a thing like a fiddle it is Australia! where everything is inside-out and topsy-turvy. The animals have four legs, so they jump on two.
"We might give a musicale, and let Trilby sing 'Ben Bolt' to them," suggested Marguerite de Valois, with a giggle. "Don't be flippant, please," said Portia. "We haven't time to waste on flippant suggestions. Perhaps a court-martial of these pirates, supplemented by a yard-arm, wouldn't be a bad thing. I'll prosecute the case."
With these men you make common cause, and through these men you are supported, selling them the hopes that chance bestows, trading in the decisions of the jurors, deeming him alone a friend who gives more and more, and all those enemies who furnish you no business or employ some other advocate, while you pretend not even to know those who are already in your clutch and affect to be bored by them, but fawn upon and giggle at those just approaching, like the mistresses of inns?
