And I heard the wild turkey gobbling, you heard it yourself, you sent me out to get it for supper, you said that one more meal on buffalo meat would be the death of you, and it was nearly dark, and gobble gobble gobble so appetizing. I can hear it yet." With an expression of terror she caught suddenly at his hand as he walked beside her, but he petulantly pulled away.
The Herr Graf's knowledge of Italian was somewhat limited; but, such as it was, it had enabled him to catch the sense of the stigma cast upon his family, and now he was upon his feet, red and gobbling, like a turkey-cock, and prepared to do battle with a hundred irate Venetians if need were. The marchese stared at him in blank amazement. "You!" he ejaculated "you Von Rosenau!
One of these was stout, elderly, and irascible, with a face like a full moon, well dyed with liquor, thick tremulous lips, a short, purple hand, in which he brandished a long pipe, and an abrupt and gobbling utterance. This was my Lord Windermoor. In his companion Nance beheld a younger man, tall, quiet, grave, demurely dressed, and wearing his own hair.
"Run ashore," said the Englishman, as there was a buzz of excitement among the New Zealanders, many of whom stepped over into the shallow water, and seized the sides of the boat, which was rapidly run up the dark shore, where, amidst a low gobbling noise, the two wet passengers were landed to stand shivering with cold. "There you are," said the Englishman, "safe and sound."
Taking young Andrew she went down by the lake and leaving him to splash joyously in the ripples at the edge, she read the last lectures. She read for an hour, gorging the book as a child gobbling sweets before his nurse's return. She was devouring understanding it seemed to her that the lectures were being written expressly for her. It seemed, with one half of Kraill's wisdom she could save Louis.
So the petrels called to the mollys; but they were so busy and greedy, gobbling and packing and spluttering and fighting over the blubber, that they did not take the least notice. "Come, come," said the petrels, "you lazy, greedy lubbers, this young gentleman is going to Mother Carey, and if you don't attend to him, you won't earn your discharge from her, you know."
"Away in the darkness there was a confused shouting and I caught the sounds of shooting, out among the scattered trees. And then, from a patch of blackness to my left, there burst suddenly an infernal gobbling sort of neighing. Instantly I whipped 'round and snapped off the flashlight.
You may do just what you please with the Oratorio; where it will be of most use it will best fulfil my intentions. I am, with esteem, your obedient P.S. Say all that is kind from me to the worthy Ursuline ladies. I rejoice in being able to serve them. Confounded, invited guest! Domanowetz! not musical Count, but gobbling Count! dinner Count! supper Count! &c., &c.
"Pah! you greedy, conceited birds, which do you hold dearest after all, the filling of your little stomachs, or the supporting of your little dignities? Be advised by a higher intelligence. Revenge yourselves on the grains that hit and sting you by gobbling them up. It is a venerable custom that of feasting upon one's enemies.
"Because he's one of the kindest fellows; because he gives himself no dashed airs, although he has reason to be proud if he chose. That's why, Mr. Newcome." "A topper for you, Barney, my boy," remarks Charles Heavyside, as the indignant General walks away gobbling and red. Barney calmly drinks the remains of his absinthe.
