He said this in so clever an imitation of their own introductions that it seemed a caricature. "Chapeaux bas!" the Colonel murmured, throwing Jane into the most unlady-like fit of giggles. "Where did it come from?" Bob asked later. He was riding with her a hundred yards behind the buggy that held the Colonel and Dale, the old rifle sticking out at the back like a bean pole.
Thomas had to spell out the contents of each missive with more or less difficulty, her giggles, blushes and occasional exclamations showed how much pleasure they afforded her. Mrs. Nitschkan, however, after glancing carelessly at the large, yellow envelope which was addressed to her in a clerkly hand, cast it carelessly aside and went on assiduously cleaning and oiling her gun.
"Excuse me," I said, "but I am looking for a birthday present for my wife which will make all the neighbors jealous, and which I can use afterwards as an ash-receiver or a pocket flask." The young lady cut out the giggles and pointed to the northwest. I went over there. To my surprise I found another counter. A pale young woman was behind it.
Bell, as she walked in front with Beatrice heard Matty's little and inane giggles, and her heart swelled within her. "Poor young man, he is devoted," she whispered to her companion. "Ah, dear me, Beatrice, I know you sympathize with me; when one has a dear child's fate trembling in the balance it's impossible not to be anxious." Mrs.

The next morning, Tuesday, the girls, between whom and their whispering friend Miss Ingamells something feminine was evidently afoot, left the breakfast-table sooner than usual, not without stifled giggles: upon occasion Maggie would surprisingly meet Clara and Miss Ingamells on their own plane; since Sunday afternoon she had shown no further interest in Edwin's important crisis; she seemed, so far as he could judge, to have fallen back into her customary state of busy apathy.
Before I had been in the house a week she made a little pair of trousers a span long, and gave them to me. Marie and Katarina turned their faces to laugh. My Cloud-Mother held the garment up for their inspection, and was not at all sensitive to the giggles it provoked. "I made over an old pair of his father's," she said.
John and Betty were in gales of laughter when the shy, rosy-cheeked maid asked if they would have some "jammed fingers." "What in the world does she mean?" inquired Betty, between her giggles. "I don't know, I am sure. Do you, Barbara? Oh, yes I do! Probably she means 'jam fingers. I have heard the name. Please bring us some," Mrs. Pitt requested.
They had seen it in the eyes of creatures young enough to be called boys and girls, they had heard it in musical laughter and in silly giggles, they had seen it express itself in tragedy and comedy and watched it end in union or in a nothingness which melted away like a wisp of fog. But they knew it was a thing omnipresent and that no one passed through life untouched by it in some degree.
